    Samsung S8 and OSMO compatibility?

    Make sure the software from DJI is also updated. If that doesnt help maybe there is some corruption in the app and a reinstall would help. beyond that, it may just be a "report and wait" situation. Also remember that once you have your phone set up to be used in your Osmo mobile 2 you dont...

    Would you buy a spark with a cracked arm repaired with super glue?

    Nosir. 150 tops. then maybe buy a new part to replace the cracked one. assuming thats all thats wrong with it and i wouldnt buy it unless i could fly it to make sure it wasnt complete carp.

    P4 Firmware something is wrong with latest firmware

    Here in the USA sometimes we get temporary no fly zones where it is normally fine to fly. Mayne that's the cause?

    My first and second crash... Now motors wont turn on... Might need some help on my Phantom 4

The part comes in a set for 15 bucks from my local DJI retailer and ive seen it on amazon for 25. Fortunately it wasnt the IMU or Flight Control boards. I will...

    New App Let's Public Report "Illegal" Drone Activity in New Zealand. Good Idea or Bad Idea? Would This Work in the US?

    i think it would be great if it just went to the app itself and gave the users a placebo of actually reporting them. lol. since most times they just want to complain to someone and feel superior to the hedonistic drone pilots it could provide an outlet for their rage that doesnt involve them...

    My first and second crash... Now motors wont turn on... Might need some help on my Phantom 4

    Well on first inspection of the pins they all SEEM to be in line, but its difficult to know if they are functioning properly until i dig in. at this point its time to crack open the body and look at the internal components to ensure everything is hooked up properly and nothing is burnt from the...

    I should also mention that the remote connects to the drone well and when i push the stick left and right i get the usual response from the gimbal. it pretty much does everything except read the battery level and start the rotors. and of course theres the rapidly flashing yellow lights.

    My first and second crash... Now motors wont turn on... Might need some help on my Phantom 4

    This is awesome! thanks for the link. So one thing i noticed during my trial power up is that there is no battery level reading... so im thinking there may be a problem with the module that meters the battery. this happens with both the batteries so im thinking its one of the internal parts.

    Not even a scratch on visual inspection of the batteries. Battery cells are all in decent shape and reacting to charging well. Going to test it later to see if it boots up fully and gets the rotors turning.
