I use tripod mode often but I do mostly roof inspections.

So you wiped the phone once and that broke it and it took wiping the phone again to get it to work? I ask because i wiped my ipad before updating to 11 and now after reconfiguring everything on my ipad Go 4 does not work. I did not do a restore so this is a fresh setup too. I am hoping I do not...

I bought some clips on amazon. Just double side the strobe on to any leg in any direction. They lock tight but can come off as needed.

Did you try the following after the firmware update? * Once successful you can hit Go Fly but you are not done yet. * The Overall Status in the Aircraft status pane should show the controller needs firmware upgrade. Proceed with that. * After a few minutes of annoying beeps it will be...

I just use ground station pro for waypoint missions.

Just got dine testing on new FW. Oddly enough when i got at location and fired the p4p up it said firmware was out if date. I obliged and hit upgrade. A minute later she was good to go. Manual flight when perfect. I also ran a mission on GS pro and that went flawless as well. I'm happy so far.

Steps I took to upgrade Plug in RC to iPad Turn on both P4P and RC Open Go 4 Prompted to update No Fly DB. Needed to plug ipad directly to P4P After No Fly DB stated it was finished I unplugged P4P from iPad and plugged right back in the same way. Prompted to upgrade P4P firmware. This process...

Yes you can keep it in the car but you should keep your car running with the A/C on. :p

The area imaged by phantom is relevant as a supporting detail of why my flights do not need to exceed 100 ft AGL. I felt like at that altitude coupled with a small area of operation (single property) would mitigate most if not all risk of the flight. Again if there are aircraft lower than 100ft...

Got it. When I restructure the request I will be sure to list the standard and explicitly describe the measure that will be taken. I didn't want to be too redundant but based on what I am hearing more is better.

I was thinking that 100 ft max altitude would help in these regards. If a manned aircraft if a 100 ft AGL they have bigger concerns than my phantom.

Thanks. This is exactly why I submitted for this waiver. I want to use it as a learning process. I will take your suggestions and rebuild my request to see how it goes.

I submitted on 5./2 and got the response today 5/19. Here are the standards. I was hoping that flying under 100ft would satisfy 1 and 2 and the top strobe would satisfy 3. § 107.51(c) Operating limitations for small unmanned aircraft. Visibility. A remote pilot in command and the person...

So I wanted to test the waiver process to see how that worked. I submitted for a waiver to §107.51(c) for the 3 mile visibility restriction. Below is what I submitted (Blue) and the FAA response (Red). Can anyone think of what else I could put in here that would allow them to approve? For...

I work for an insurance carrier and am reviewing UAV solutions for roof inspections. If/When you are doing more than just panos I would love to chat.
