    Did he fly it into the ground?

    May I ask why you feel it’s standard procedure to lower the altitude of the quad as it’s returning? I wouldn’t even include that in the operating procedure. Of course the drone can be lowered when you have it close to you in sight (duh). I also don’t advocate using auto return all the time as...

    Phantom 4 problem

    Not all issues require downloading flight logs. I for one, know this is a remote calibration issue because I've dealt with this before. The OP will need to calibrate the remote using the Go 4 APP and he'll be off and flying again

    Should i mind my own business? Or write a complaint to FAA?

    I agree with the quote above. Focus on policing yourself before policing others.

    Phantom 4 pro + screen turned off

    That happens all the time. I don't like relying on RTH. Just stop, leave the drone hovering where it is as long as it is in a safe place and restart the App.

    Was unfair to sell the P4P V2.0 then a better MP2 so shortly after?

    Better camera? If anything they are equal in quality........oh...... wait the P4 Pro can do 60 FPS in 4k.....the Mavic 2......not so much.

    I sure am glad the 9450 props have give . I always grab the landing gear then power off.

    Jesus! There's more hair on that arm than I have on my head. No wonder the injury was more superficial.

    DJI Phantom 4 Malfuntion - Climbed On Its Own, Would Not Descend

    This is a very interesting case. It's not often we see the loss of a aircraft that was not due in some way to operator error. It appears this was some sort of transmitter error and I hope DJI does something to help the OP. I will follow this and please keep us updated.

    P4P: In-Flight Power Failure

    Key words there are "I doubt". I would encourage you to investigate. The DJI moderators I referenced are from DJI'S own forums of which I'm a member of.

    P4P: In-Flight Power Failure

    One only has to do a quick search to discover a trend on battery ejections due to even minor crashes. I seem to remember a DJI moderator mentioning this as a safety design. See the link below: Have you CRASHED? Did your battery fall out?

    What’s with the neighbors?

    The new Autel EVO and Parrot Anafi have a capable zoom function. But we're getting off topic.

    What’s with the neighbors?

    Unfortunately the police don't always know what to do when it comes to drone flying. They will sometimes visit the drone flyer and give then grief. There are many YouTube videos out there to prove it. The OP has a right to be concerned.

    P4P: In-Flight Power Failure

    The batteries are designed to separate from the craft on a crash to avoid a fire that would engulf the quad but maybe DJI should rethink that.

    issues with app that never ve had before - please help

    I'm on a Samsung S7 phone. The APP crashes every other time I fly. As a matter of fact with the last Samsung update the APP no longer works with my Spark. There are many different Android devices and each manufacturer puts their own little stamp on the operating system. Too many variations for...
