    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    Really cool that you are doing something like this. I think you should be informing people mostly of laws and regulations. The flight part comes naturally to a lot of people after messing with it long enough, but many people don't know how to fly legally and safely! Which is very important. Also...

    GIVEAWAY: Microraptor Pro Backpack (for P3P/P3A)

    Cool that your doing this! I would use this backpack to transport my drone around. I am only 14 years old and saved up for my p3a for a long time. I can't get a job and spend a lot of my time studying for school and participating on my schools cross country team. I love having my dad come to the...

    DSLR Pros Back Under New Management!

    I think waterproof phantoms are really cool and a lot of people would buy them at a good price. I think that an affordable pack of a lot of filters would be a good thing to have. also custom skins for your phantom would be really cool. cheaper batteries or special sales on them would be great...

    Flying in other countries!

    just put your phone in airplane mode before using dji go app so it doesn't try to load anything. you can always fly without data, it just won't show the map of where you are at if you don't load in in advance.

    legal or not?

    this is about the only comment that actually answered my question. people on this forum have a history of taking something like saying I'm flying at an ice rink which I used as an example, and making it that I'm flying directly over a bunch of people. all I asked was if you have to stop using...

    legal or not?

    if I am flying at say, an ice skating rink for example (not with tons of people on it), and they came out and told me I couldn't fly there. would I be able to continue flying legally? or would I have to keep a certain altitude? I probably wouldn't be a pain and land it but I just wonder if they...

    Not confident in flying my dji

    be confident. calibrate it like it says away from metal and it will be fine. I had the same feelings with my p3a, but after a few flights in beginner mode I am very confident. go have fun! the % of flyaways is very low, and probably lower than any of us think.

    Have Your Neighbors Made Their Property A No Fly Zone?

    this is ridiculous. have about 5 houses in my area already. didn't think dji would pull this bs. are they geofenced? so you can't fly there at all?

    How to Erase my P3 account name for a new owner ??

    I would let them keep your logs. If they have any problems and have to send it in then that may help. Knowing the time flying and how many flights may be important when sending it in or trying to get it fixed with a warranty.

    Buying from Phantom Pilots Members

    I would ask them to post it on eBay and they you can buy it through there. The scam rate on eBay is probably quite a bit lower than just through email and PayPal!

    Registration views.

    Came across this video and made me ponder all of this... What side do you take? Everyone should HAVE to register or you should NOT have to register?
