    I wonder how hard it would be ...

    I wonder how hard it would be ...

    I have a perfect Phantom 3 Pro with 3 batteries and all the extras. I wonder how hard it would be to find a Mavic owner that would like to trade planes. I'm not a pro photographer and love the portability of the Mavics. Maybe I should try Craigslist? Or maybe I will just sell it on eBay and...

    Stopping a Drone from from Voyeurism

    I would definitely have my drone charged and ready to fly and follow his drone home. Make sure when you find him you film him for as long as batteries will allow. Once he sees you watching him he'll get the idea. Might be a fun mission. JB

    Can someone explain the 5.8ghz / 2.4ghz thing to me?

    I want to thank you and "DaMan32". You guys have prob saved me a lot of money. OK, so I'll buy the HDMI module and install it (about $100) Can you guys offer a suggestion for a pair of HDMI goggles that work well that don't cost $300+ ? I wear pretty strong reading glasses so I need goggles with...

    Where do you fly?

    You're right, as I fly I sometimes reveal things by surprise, even on a routine flight I've done many times.

    I'm in Ohio so mostly farmlands, rivers and such (when I'm not spooking my neighborhood) :)

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    Being also a Private Pilot I can tell you that coming across anything at 500 feet is very unnerving. For example, I was on a long final in a Cessna 172 in the Bay Area (San Francisco) a few years back and a wedding party had released a couple hundred or so helium balloons in the air, which I...

    If I Install the HDMI Part ...

    If I install this part on my P3P (HDMI Module) what would be a lower cost goggle choice that would be adequate? Thanks John

    Tips on estimating obstacle height

    Guys, I often fly over wooded areas and want to fly reasonably above the trees to avoid crashes, but don't want to be unnecessarily high. Do you guys have any tips or tools to estimate how high you should fly to avoid obstacles? Thanks, AJ

    Missions, Waypoints and Trust

    Great. I personally think it's far better than DJI Go. For one thing you can plan a whole flight while you have your coffee then save it then go out and fly it. I'm still learning all the features myself. AJ
