    is this legit loophole for hobbyist offering aerials??

    It's like the ancient joke: Man to woman in bar: Will you sleep with me for $10? Woman: Of course not! Man: Well how about $10000? I forget the rest but somewhere in there she asks :"What kind of girl do you think I am?" and he replies, "We've established that. Now we're negotiating the...

    1st Aircraft Drone Strike in Canada?

    But sometimes you can with gaffers' tape. First bind the wrists behind the back, then wrap the head to cover both the mouth and the nostrils. Within a couple of minutes, stupid is fixed!

    What Android tablet works fine with phantom 4 pro?

    Thanks to both you and racman66. I updated the firmware from v. 4.3 to v. 4.4.2, and it solved both problems. Or as Douglas Adams wrote for geezers the age of cavemen like me, “We'll be saying a big hello to all intelligent lifeforms everywhere and to everyone else out there, the secret is to...

    What Android tablet works fine with phantom 4 pro?

    Based on your suggestion and another list of compatible deices, I bought a "new" 2013 ASUS Nexus 7 on eBay with Android 4.3, and it works fine, but when I try to install the DJI Go 4 app, it says "Your device is not compatible with this version". I tried installing the DJI Go ver 3.1,8, and it...

    What to buy to use as a screen on my P4P?

    Unknown, but these USB 2 cables work with no problems showing in-flight video with no stutter or other problems. The biggest advantage is they are like the baby bear's porridge - just right. Long enough to reach from the port on the back of the controller to a pad without strain, but not so...

    What to buy to use as a screen on my P4P?

    Here's an accessory I suggest: Micro USB Cables 1ft High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B. I have both a P3P and P4P and I bought an iPad mini 3 16Gb. Search the description in the sentence above on Amazon and you can find packs of six for about $9. Like the proverbial horseshoe nail, the...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Just three things to consider before I buy one in addition to my P4, for easier travel: 1] Will filters for the P3P/P4 fit the Mavic? 2] Will someone make an aftermarket adapter so that phones thicker than 8.5mm can be used? My current phone is 10.5mm thick, altho 30mm shorter than the...

    DJI "support" is non-existant for exchanges of DOA products

    DJI "support" is non-existant for exchanges of DOA products I bought a third P4 battery direct from DJI, and it was DOA; Dead On Arrival. It will NOT take a charge, tho my others will. I called DJI about a return and replacement, and got this BS in return by email, with my reply to the BS...

    Traveling with the phantom 4 to Bali (Indonesia)

    This video was done by two brothers from Miami on a live-aboard trip out of Maumere, Flores via Bali, 12 days on an East of Flores trip in September 2015, partly using a P3P, which was why I bought one when I got back, and a a P4 later. In my avatar, that's a divemaster on one side and another...

    Is it just me, or is the "Last week's most popular topics" getting dumber?

    Nothing much can be done? You've given up on progress. And a smiley to you! Let them be? Looks like you're more Beatles and I'm Stones. I'm 75. You say Let it Be and I say Gimme Shelter. See that icon? That's me with two others on the deck of The Seven Seas dive boat in Sept 2015...

    Is it just me, or is the "Last week's most popular topics" getting dumber?

    Not to be an old curmudgeon [tho at 75, I am one], I'm gradually losing interest in reading "Last week's most popular topics". I realize it's easy to look at numbers and select on that basis, but it seems to me to increasingly be on topics that have been discussed before. It's like those who...

    DJI only honoring their Phantom 3 warranty if purchasing from dealer (starting 7/18/2016)

    So they're saying that products bought directly from DJI will no longer have warranties? Only those from authorized re-sellers? Really? That may not be what they intended, but that's what they said, If you read it carefully. DJI needs to hire more proofreaders.
