    Beware of Battery LED indicators

    I'm somewhat new, but had a friend who flies racing drones just yesterday mention not trusting LiPo battery packs without testing voltages before a flight. He said that if I continually run my packs down past 15%, it hurts the batteries ability to take a full charge over time. What are you...

    does anyone else polish their drone

    I use those to the optics, but never thought of using them on the plastic parts because they are alcohol and in not sure how the alcohol will affect the plastic over time.

    Drone Crashes Right in Front of Cyclist, Causing Nasty Wreck

    I don't think the rider intentionally crashed himself.. From what I see, it doesn't look like the rider hit the front brake, but rather the drone got caught in the spokes and locked up against his front fork causing him to go up and over.

    First flight - very negative experience with person on the ground.

    I've only been approached once while flying and been asked if I "had permission to fly and film" where I was... In short, if it's a public place without restriction and I am operating within the guidelines set forth, I answer with as short of an answer as possible, and then do my best to...

    .

    Thanks for posting this.. Pretty cool idea. As to the OP, I really don't see what all of the whining is about, whenever you set out to fly your drone, chances are the lighting conditions are going to be ever changing and require a filter change. To that end, what difference does it make that...

    Help needed, I can no longer fly my drone over my own property, says it's now considered a NFZ.

    I just checked, phone says 26 miles. You might be right. So is this restriction only in effect when he's in town?

    I'm on the fringes if anything.. I'm west of Military Trail in Boynton

    I am somewhat new to quadcopters. I don't have to use the DJI GO app, it's possible to use a third party app to fly and record video? Sorry for being such a noob.

    Help needed, I can no longer fly my drone over my own property, says it's now considered a NFZ.

    Hello all, I haven't been on the forums, or able to fly much, for the past few months, and tried to fly the other day but couldn't even start the props on my P4. What happens is I made sure everything was charged, memory card installed, I start my controller, then the P4, and I get this...

    Rule of thirds grid turning off mid flight

    Has anyone else experienced the grid lines turning off mid flight? I understand that DJI in their infinite wisdom decided to have the settings that "we choose" reset each time DJI GO app is started, but to have something as personal as the grid lines that some of us use to help with composition...

    Help needed: DJI GO app auto updated and camera will not record

    As the title says, my DJI GO app updated and while I can fly without any problems, for some reason it is not allowing me to record video in either Manual or Auto Exposure modes. What I get is an error message stating the ambient light is insufficient. There is a crazy lightning storm offshore...
