    Is DJI care worth the money

    The only thing that bothers me about the State Farm comments is that after it was sent in for repair, it took a few weeks to get it back. Not good turn-around time. I recently sent my P4P back to DJI and had it back within a week after they completed the repair. However, I have State Farm for my...

    P4P repair- DJI or authorized DGI repair center

    Thanks, for the reply. I sent one P4P to DJI. The DJI communication repair service has been good and I will get my drone back this week - total time out and back 2 1/2 weeks. Repair was to the landing supports and gimble. I sent the other P4P to DJIDroneService.com the same day and am still...

    P4P repair- DJI or authorized DGI repair center

    I have 2 P4Ps that are out of warranty and need repairs. Both drones need repair to the landing struts and one also has a malfunctioning gimble. Looking for feedback as to whether send them back to DJI for repair or use a US Authorized DJI repair center. Opinions and experience would be...

    US DHS warns of possible Chinese Drone data collection

    A significant problem with the "don't use Drones, electronics manufactured in China" is the complete lack of drones comparable to the Phantom, Mavic and Inspire series that are manufactured (hardware and software) in the US. Yes, there are some high-end, specialized drones manufactured here, but...

    Printing photos from P4P

    Try Vistaprint.com, I use them for large prints and have always been very satisfied. The P4P takes the photos in Hi-Res and will be no problem.

    Camera settings

    FYI, I have been using a Crystal Sky 7.85 monitor 2000 nit since they became available. Yes it was expensive, but I have never regretted it. I fly in all types of weather and brightness conditions and the screen is always bright and clear. Prior to that I tried all levels of iPads, hoods, etc...

    107 cert

    One of the earlier comments noted that to drone commercial pilots (Part 107) market is flooded right now and that is certainly true but that does not mean you cannot find a niche in the market where you will succeed. I have had my 107 certification for just under 2 years and am getting ready for...

    Mavic Air morning cloud

    Well done. I would eliminate the no-clouds at about 1 minute and 10 seconds.

    AirScouter WS-300C HMD

    I am considering buying a AirScouter WS-300C head mounted display for FPV since it can be used legally by Part 107 certified pilots. My UAV is a Phantom 4 Pro with a Crystal Sky 2000nit monitor. Does anyone know if it will work with my setup? Thanks.

    Is the Crystalsky worth it?

    I have the 2000nit, 7.85 monitor and would never go back to using the iPad Pro. It is absolutely worth the difference in my opinion. I have used it in all light conditions. The difference in all light conditions is amazing. It is possible to now load some 3rd party apps using their APK file. Go...
