    99 hours and 41 minutes in the air, then ........................... 100% pilot error, then ....................................... miracle save!

    Very cool video. So fortunate not to loose it to the deep waters of Senaca Lake. Very familiar with were you were flying. We live just over the hill on Lamoka lake.

    Drone tornado footage 4/30/2019!

    One of the coolest drone video I have seen. Not sure if I would have had the balls to stay with it with all the debris flying around. Thanks for sharing

    Phantom 4

    Will the low noise DJI props work on a Phantom 4. I see nothing that states it will. Only The pro and above Thanks

    Had a mishap

    This is what stupid looks like. Hopefully this will keep someone else from making a mistake of not taking your time and ALWAYS make everything is good before takeoff

    Had a mishap

    Thanks for your response. No idea of where my head was when this all happened. But lesson learned. Anyways, if I posted a short clip, would you be so kind as to take a listen to what I’m hearing. Just not the same as it was, but seems to be okay. I will do the calibration, but need to take it to...

    Had a mishap

    So I had my P4 out for just a flight today and did a couple of stupid things. First of all, I took off with a 20% battery. I had put a charged battery in the backpack and simply forgot to swap out the battery that was still in the bird. I never leave a battery that has been used but for whatever...

    New landing gear

    I just replaced a cracked landing gear, just one side. I’m allowing the silicone to set up that I used over the single connections. Is there any firmware, calibrations that I should do before flying? Thanks,

    Upgrade my tablet

    Just upgraded to the iPad Pro 9.7. . It fits Phantom 4 control but it’s a tight fit. Flew out over 2 miles and no green screen This is a great tablet and I am a windows person. Can’t say enough good about it. Little pricy but glad I spent the extra bucks.

    Compass calibration

    Thanks for responding. None of your thoughts were the case in all the times it has happened (4). Is it possible that the home point is recorded but not announced for whatever reason? Whatever the reason, I would not feel comfortable taking off without that announcement. Or am I I being ridiculous?

    Compass calibration

    I was aware that the manual stated that about the calibration. Where i got that habbit was from a couple of different YouTube videos that I watched that suggested doing calibrations often, if not every time.. That is one habbit that will be easy to let go, thanks for that advise.. As far as the...

    Compass calibration

    I have a couple of concerns that I would like some input. I have aP4 with all the current updates. I have found that since I did the updates compass calibration is not an option any longer. That was something I did before every flight. Probably overkill but is what I did. I have also found that...

    Drone license

    Hey Everyone, I need some advice. I originally decided to buy a drone to be able to shoot footage at our business. We own a family fun park and also an event center. My thoughts were to be able to shoot footage and take advantage of social media. The idea has worked but I received a message...

    Is your P4 firmware update GOOD? Post here please!

    So I'm not in Canada but upstate NY, finger lakes region. I was able to reset my settings to where I wanted them. I have flown both at my house and business. My business is 12 miles or so away from an airport, no problems, yet, and hopefully none at all. I like it that way.
