You lost 2?! OMG! How? Why? Did DJI stop making the Phantom because of quality issues? I have an old 3DR Solo that is rock solid (other than the weakened batteries).

Question now is "What do I do with my Phantom P4 Stuff"? I'm not financially ready to go buy a new drone. So I want to sell off what I have, and I have a lot... I've got everything that came with the P4, that wasn't the drone itself. So, original carrying case, Remote Control, two sets of...

Hey everyone, I thought I should post an update. I started right away on Monday trying to locate who manages the bridge between Seabrook and Hampton (NH). The bridge has a tower and someone is in there usually to raise and lower the bridge. Fairly tall ships will come through that waterway, and...

Responding to an old post, but it closely resembles what happened to my P4. Check my story out here: https://phantompilots.com/threads/buried-at-sea-my-phantom-4-is-at-the-bottom-of-the-atlantic-now.146120/#post-1462804

Sorry to hear of your loss. The same happened to me, but I wasn't able to even retrieve it. You can read my story here: Buried at Sea. My Phantom 4 is at the Bottom of the Atlantic now

I had my eyes directly on it when it failed. It was alone in the air space, and looked like it hit an invisible wall. Kind of what I would expect it to look like if someone (like the Iranian's), jammed the electronics. LOL! Hey, maybe it was the Iranians? Should I report this to Homeland...

Whoa!!! Great investigative work! Thank you! I did notice something white flying off in the video at around 3:46 but I could freeze frame it like you have. It looks like half of a prop? I have never crashed or damaged the props before. What would cause one to split apart? Is it possible that a...

The area it rests is an inlet, the tide is constantly shifting. It's a no-swim zone, and I don't dare attempt it. This weekend I'm considering seeing if a local fisherman would bring me to the area it went down, but even if I get it back it would be a total loss. This is the area it went down...

I'm definitely going to be more careful around water from now on. If that had crashed over land it would have been beat up for sure, but probably repairable or salvageable, and I would have gotten my SD card back. Someone else mentioned flotation devices for drones. I'll look into that too. In...

I actually didn't know that Drone Insurance existed (until now). Do you guys recommend any particular insurer, or is it through DJI?

All that technology, and a piece of plastic is the weakest link. :-(

I have/had a P4 that was gifted to me by my wife and kids 2 years ago. I was petrified to fly it, it costing so much... So I cut my teeth on a less expensive drone, then when I was a better pilot I began using the P4. I loved it, and I have some nice videos from it. But I haven't spent more than...

I'm having the same exact problem as the original poster did. I suspected that the firmware screwed everything up because I hadn't used the drone for over a year. Before I updated the software everything was working fine. Before the next time out I accepted the update and after that I had...

Cool video! Smart to take your drone out, and not your Mustang! [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
