Another example of fake news. I am sure the owner of the home thinks it's what she saw, but I don't believe it to be the lights of a drone.

It looks like he may have met up with a drone earlier, his feathers have a gap or two.

I just call mine "my flying camera", I could shorten that to just FC.

Early in my first month using my P3P (two years ago) I tested the RTH feature maybe twice, but like Michael S, in general I want to be in control, and do not use the RTH feature to bring it home. I tested the other features, point of interest and the like, but felt it was wise to learn how to...

I keep seeing TV commercials for a product called "Tile" that appears to be a GPS locator tag you attach to an object so it can be found if lost. It may be a good item to attach to our birds.

When I last installed the DJI go app it gave the same test. I passed easy but I don't agree with it on all levels but do agree with some aspects, but it would be interesting to know if you have to have 100 % right or not fly at all?

First video with a flying camera, but not your first rodeo, you are most likely accomplished already in photography and or video capture, and this one just happens to be captured from the air. You don't need much advise, other than perhaps to get your 107 license so you can be legal and make...

I regretted buying the Litchi app quick enough to get a refund, so in essence, no regrets from me. I hope to get out and fly my bird today, my problem is I tend to go out only when I feel conditions are best for the image I want to capture, I need to start looking at my bird in a different way...

Very nice.

I could not fly just two days ago, said I needed to update the firmware, and until now I had only done that once back almost a year ago. I decided to just uninstall the DJI app and install it again and was able to fly, but had to answer a number of questions first. If I had not known the answers...

I have a steep roof, and leaves gather in a few areas, and I use my P3P and get the job done quick and easy, and yes, it's important to do it when the leaves are dry. I did my roof just this afternoon in fact. I also have two steel gazebo's in our outdoor kitchen area, and use the drone to blow...

I thought I had it down pat, a good number of flights never with any problem, even a very tough flight where all of a sudden 45 MPH winds came in quickly, then trying to show just how precise I could fly it, in some tight places, like under a table, through a series of tree limbs and the like...

Great flying for sure.

I have got out as far as 5,000 ft away with a wind surfer over water, but if I have too many trees, homes, telephone poles and wires, it will not go normally much more then 1,200 feet away before it will start to give me transmission signal problems. I don't like to fly over populated areas and...

I once had that same disorder, had to make something more of items that I owned so that it was unique / or the best, but over the years that disorder has seemed to weaken, and does not affect me as it once did. Looks like you are doing some interesting things in combining two hobbies together.
