The damaged area does not appear to be stress failure of the prop. It appears more like a strike.

Okay, thank you all for coming to my rescue! I did the update to P4 as suggested and that seems to have been the problem...really glad for this board/forum.

Thanks to all of you for the input. I have successfully used the iPad since I first got my P4 but it is only this last upgrade to the DJI GO app that has caused me an issue. When I use the iPad mini now and am not connected to the internet the app loads with the DJI=>DJI GO screen. At the bottom...

When in the field an no internet when I click on "Go" the program tries to login and obviously can't...do I switch to iPhone (with cell service) and no problem?

Hey I dont get this....been flying for more than a year with my ipad and now after upgrade it wont work unless connected to the internet or cell service...whats going on with DJI??? I have had to abandon my iPad and do all my flight with iPhone....am I missing something here????

Question? Does Verifly request your FAA #? I know the real estate companies in my area are now asking for verification of your license before contracting AP work

Mine is with Citadel but insurance is peculiar to each state (cant cross borders) I would suggest calling some of the larger firms (they wont offer it) to see who they would refer you to. I spent a couple of days finding mine. These are usually independent brokers who deal in "baskets" of...

$3 million is about 1800 a year but i also have E&O insurance bundled with it for commercial inspections.

Completely agree with your assessment. Just having a license is still not enough protection. I carry $3 million in general liability insurance just for this reason. I often fly and film over areas with FAA approval that involve property overflights of commercial and residential structures and...

Connection via the DJI assistant works best for me....AND its doesnt work using my Mac only on my PC??? Interesting.....

Actually flying real estate in wooded areas is a challenge but the best photos of property are often gotten from low altitude video/stills. I rarely fly above 40 feet unless the home is on a ranch/lake/cliff/ocean setting where the capture of the surround is important to emphasize. You can get...

Hi Allen123 Let me suggest using a "free" s/w package like iMovie to begin editing video. It is straight forward, allows you to add marquees and music easily and cut in and out of scenes dramatically and most importantly cut down the viewing time...most effective videos for home aerial video are...

FYI...Unless you have ties to either family members who are realtors or close friends...you will not make a living from aerial real estate photography. Most realtors want an all in one package including the MLS 29 photos of the interior so be prepared to go up against all those photographers who...

Just one other quick thought. When I shoot homes I stay down so that my angle is around 25-30 degrees. This has a much more pleasing effect than flying too high. The exception is a large estate so you can do an overview flight from say 30 meters around property then come down approaching the...

I do quite a bit of filming but the 4k resolution is not too practical if you are using internet for uploads and emailing is not possible given file sizes. You could put into dropbox but best is to burn on DVR disk or a thumb drive. If you share on Youtube it reduces size for you in iMovie or...
