    I Can't Say Much But... LOOK!

    Some here may be missing the point or underlying reason... I think N017RW hit the nail on the head above. Also, think about advertising... It gives them options when selling advertising. They can give their advertisers a much more targeted audience (i.e. Mavic accessories can be targeted...

    Two Phantoms Assist in Search for Missing 4 Year Old

    It has been a tough month for Central Florida... We had a missing four year old in my neighborhood today. We heard helicopters flying low and talking on their loud speaker, so went out to investigate. Police were everywhere and told us they were looking for a four year old boy who went missing...

    Received PolarPro Drone Trekker Backpack - Review

    It fits in the front pocket, but not the actual laptop sleeve. Although, IMHO the laptop sleeve does not add much protection since the foam is very thin. The front of the bag itself has a nice thick layer of foam that should provide enough protection. jmkreege is correct though, there is NO room...

    That expensive DJI backpack - multiple versions?

    I don't think you will be disappointed... it is a really well made bag.

    That expensive DJI backpack - multiple versions?

    +1 on the Drone Trekker For what it's worth, I just got one myself and also have a 15" MacBook pro. I was concerned about the same thing. However, the fact that I could also carry my DSLR and lens outweighed that. As luck would have it, my MacBook fits in the front pouch (not inside the laptop...

    Saw someone crash, your thoughts?

    In the full size aviation world there is a saying that applies (somewhat)... "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots"

    There is no QUALITY ISSUES with the LED lights. It's just a different plastic. Look at images! TY.

    I can't figure out why people bother posting comments like this. It does nothing to move the discussion along. Not to mention in the OP first post he specifically states that this is not a problem and that he is just bringing it to the attention of people who fear it is a potential problem. If...

    Phantom BUGS!

    In central Florida we deal with a swarm of love bugs about two times a year. They can get so bad that they clog car radiators and can make it hard to see out the windshield. If left on the front of cars, they can be extremely difficult to remove and do major damage to car's paint. Believe it or...

    Very close call and crash with my Dji Phantom 4

    Impressed or not, it saved the bird... which is the point. Without OA it would have continued forward and crashed for sure. Is it perfect, not by a long shot... has it saved Phantoms that would have otherwise crashed... without a doubt This is iteration 1 of OA for the Phantom, so expect future...

    Crazy neighbor, crazy story

    I hate to hear stories like this, but unfortunately they do happen. Between the typical community Facebook page drama and media outlets pounding the "anything that flies with a camera is a drone and is bad" narrative. It's probably not worth the effort on either account, but I had two thoughts...

    DJI assistant 2 problems

    Windows version or OSX? Although, I'm not sure it matters much, I've used both and they seem to be equally terrible...

    Phantom 4 charger gets very hot

    Are you charging both the quad battery and the RC at the same time? Mine got particularly hot when I did that... before I realized you weren't suppose to charge them at the same time. Edit: I realized after posting that you said you had a phantom 3, so you're probably already aware of the...

    Anyone else notice how hard it is to find the Nvidia Shield k1? Must be all the phantom pilots scooping them up...

    gimbal noise p4

    I'm not sure how to post a link to another topic in this forum, so the below link may not work correctly... but for what it's worth there is a topic about "ph4 gimbal screaming" where the OP said a DJI tech recommended he tighten all the screws on the gimbal and it actually worked... He uploaded...
