    Another weird day at Baylands Park...

    Hey Everyone! NOTE: Questions are in bold if you don't want to read everything. So I just came back from Baylands Park in Sunnyvale. Overall, I had a great time.

    Close call (near miss/almost crash) with another DJI Phantom drone

    Ehm, I'm not proud of this but I share for the sake of learning purposes (and to get some more views in my channel ;) ). If you ever want to do the same thing I did: filming another drone... be careful! We knew we had to be careful but it was the first time we tried this, and we weren't careful...

    Just crashed!!!!

    I just had a small chrash while landing in the wind and the drone decided it wasn't on the ground when it was just setting down and the wind blew it I've and flipped it into the rocks. It was about the equivalent of dropping it upside down from about 2 cm. Maybe more. Should I worry about the...

    P4 - Will the engines shut off if I keep the left stick pressed while descending?

    I apologize in advanced if I am repeating the question. I am a new owner of a P4 and I've been reading that engine shut off is a possibility while descending. Can you guys tell me if that is correct and what is the best way to descend from around 400ft. Thank you.

    Tracking lost P4

    Hello, I fly over a forested area and lost my P4 into the thick underbrush of the forest floor. I was able to find it within a short time by reviewing the flight recording, but it was a lucky stroke, mainy because of the thickness of the underbrush. As it was I had to tramp through poison oak...

    Post Crash advice needed

    Hello, I crashed my P3P after several weeks of non-flying. The drone hit a tree, got tangled in the branches, snapped a propellor and had a reasonably cushioned and lucky crash landing. Having cleaned it up and replaced the props, I tried flying it again and it works, but drifts quite badly...
