You can also see Northern Lights in Alaska. I lived in North Pole, Alaska for three years in the AF and saw them lots (er, more than twice :) every Winter. There's a lot more to see then on any ol' island and hey you just might get eaten by a bear! (They're behind every other tree according...

Well, I have a P3A and I fly it a lot. I'm not in the EU and I'm way outside any return period. I suppose it is 30 days with Amazon! Got my bird in Feb 2016. I love the P3A. It's so good that I'm keeping it. I currently have 4 batteries for it so I fly about an hour each time out. Not great...

I use the same one as KennyJr. http://amzn.to/2dSc2Yz. Not sure why it comes as a set of two but whatever. When my bird arrived and I pulled it out of its crate...the dang gimbal lock was at the bottom of the box. It wasn't obvious to me how to put it on so I purchased one that was easy to...

I always secure the gimbal before moving the bird from the launch/landing pad. Sent from my Nexus 6 using PhantomPilots mobile app

My Go often starts up with the wrong aircraft. I just swipe to the Phantom and click the down arrow to select the correct one. Press camera and I'm good. If the tablet doesn't connect then i unplug it and try again. If that fails then o start over and shut the AC down then remote, etc. One of...

So when I kicked off this post I had a problem identified by HD and contacted DJI customer service. I used the chat box and it was pretty painless. In an hour or so they sent me a post paid shipping label. I boxed up my batter and sent it off. It took about a week to get there because it was...

I pulled the trigger on the combo plus added another battery along with the care project. I waited till early the morning after the kickoff event. I had no trouble getting into the DJI site.

Sorry. I got that. I was just adding that Amazon is not alone. DJI direct charged right away.

Nope. Mine came regular mail. Sent from my Nexus 6 using PhantomPilots mobile app

When I log onto my order at DJI it sure looks like I paid. Sent from my Nexus 6 using PhantomPilots mobile app

4. No. You are on your own in Sport mode. Collision avoidance works at 22 mph or less. Still not bad. Sent from my Nexus 6 using PhantomPilots mobile app

I ordered thru DJI. Got the combo plus another battery and the refresh. I've not had problems with DJI customer service on my Phantom 3 Advanced. Sent from my Nexus 6 using PhantomPilots mobile app

Try it on a day with no wind. Even with some wind it is easy. But no wind will give you more confidence. When I take off I give it full throttle to about eye level. Then I let it hover as I rotate it to get a visual inspection. Battery seated. No wobble. Etc. Then I check the DJI Go battery...

Hi. I have a P3 and use those landing gear add ons. Never had a tip. A friend has a P2 without them and he tips it a lot. If you bring it in slow you experience buffeting and your bird will bounce around. I bring mine in to four feet and then final it by bringing it down fast. It's a lot...

Well, when I completed my test I emailed Alan at DPGS and told him my results.H e didn't contact me, the other way around. Real approachable guy. So I told him, I passed with a 90 percent. Woohoo! Right now I would guess that his results are anecdotal based on people like me that emailed him...
