    Your country truly is beautiful, thanks for the tour.

    Bit of a laugh out loud moment

    That looks viscous but makes me think that the hooks at the end of my “quiet” props would cause some catastrophic injuries if one decided to get up close and personal with them at face level say!

    Free micro SD card recoverer for your bird.

    Thanks for the reply Meta4, I’m pretty sure that I shut the video down when I’ve landed plus I get the video on my iPad when I am done flying. Looking at this makes me think my so-called Smart TV isn’t reading my cards properly. I’ll try a different method, I can’t think of anything that I’ve...

    Free micro SD card recoverer for your bird.

    Off topic here but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I can only see the couple of still shots I've taken and the 20 minutes of video doesn't play at all on my 4K HDTV, it's happened on 3 or 4 different sd cards. Just see the stills and no video. I feel that I'm missing a very basic...

    First Crash (Could’ve Been Worse)

    I'm afraid that is all I can offer at this time, good luck.

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    Extremely rare sounds good, I’ve got my new drone and I’ve been nervous when I take it up because there was only about 2 seconds between the warning and the drop of death. I didn’t think to try to turn the motors before sending it back. I probably only had 5 or 6 hrs flight time on it before it...

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    I was very relieved and grateful that they took my word and replaced it, I want to send out another big thank you to Amazon for their most excellent customer service!

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    Matchlock Bud, Amazon was kind enough to ship me a brand new drone but sadly I wasn’t lucky enough to get a battery that would take a charge although Amazon came to the rescue again and had me ship my drone back to them so they could send me a new one. Here’s where I’m hoping I can get as lucky...

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    I'd be the first to admit pilot error but I wasn't doing anything, I was reading my screen and my buddy told me that it was gone. I think that the one cell of the battery losing power was enough to overload the motor but I still don't know why it went down, the warning said the aircraft will...

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    I was very happy with Amazon for stepping up and sending me a new one just on my word that it fell on it’s own accord. The insurance idea is a good one, thanks.

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    Hi Fly Dawg, I managed to get the flight record open and readable but now I’m having problems moving it around. Nonetheless it seems that one cell in my battery kept dropping faster than the others and by the last entry it was at a 2 volt deviation and I guess that caused the motor overload and...

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    I shipped the unit back to Amazon the day after the incident so can I still get some information out of the app in my iPad? I already received the replacement drone and the battery was pushed all the way in so the battery was dead and gone, I had to send the whole drone back in order to get a...

    My p4p dropped to it’s death

    I haven’t the time right now but I intend to sit down this evening and wrestle the flight recording out of my iPad and post it, this may take a little doing but I’m in need of answers and I’m sure that I’ve got enough of an explanation on how to do it. Thanks for your continued efforts and patience
