    More FAA restrictions are likely on the way...

    They do this all the time, and not just considering drones. RID is basically a new law in an attempt to enforce laws that already exist and aren't enforced. If the FAA did something about the many violations that are reported, maybe there'd be fewer violations? I've actually seen a few youtube...

    phantom 4 pro or dji mavic pro 2

    Personally I don't understand the 'advantage' of portability. It's not like you're going to stick it in your pocket. If you have the Mavic, by the time you add the controller, 2-3 batteries, charger, extra props, filters, tablet, is it any more portable than a P4? I had a Mavic and had a case to...

    Rules against having teenage son/daughter help?

    I use my teenage kids as VO all the time. Their eyesight is much better than anyone I know in my age group LOL

    Another failed mission due to DJI's unlock system

    The lack of third party app support CAN be an issue. That’s why I keep my P4P around. But the Evo handles wind better, flies when and where I want, and doesn’t have the DJI over saturated images. I’ve only had to unlock my DJI drones twice, took nearly an hour each time. No chinese company...

    Autel Evo is the answer.

    Phantom 4 Pro Plus

    The plot thickens. I went to replace the flat cable (no, I didn't swap controllers, doing that today) and found that someone already has. With an aftermarket cable. There was a section that must have been too long so he doubled it up. And there is a little 'pigtail' from the ribbon that isn't...

    Not yet. Probably won't be able to until tomorrow. I work long hours so Mon-Thurs I'm working until dark.

    I agree, I have two issues here. I really, really hope it doesn't need the IMU and MoBo. I don't know that the drone is worth that much. I shudder to think of what those cost.

    Looks like the yaw drift discussions are about the aircraft drifting? This is my gimbal doing all sorts of crazy.

    Phantom 4 Pro Plus

    I tried calibrating the gimble twice, but not the IMU. And I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't try swapping remotes yet. I was hoping I'd post here and someone would say "hey, that's common. You just have to unplug this connector, lick it, and plug it back in and that'll fix it" haha.

    Ayuh...I also will hope that BigAl107 or some other will be able to get you answers, but one thing I noticed that you've not mentioned is that the map screen (bottom left of your app screen) shows nothing. I didn't even notice that! Thanks for bringing that out. You showed perfectly good sat...

    Phantom 4 Pro Plus

    I’m having an issue with my phantom 4 pro + I’m really hoping you folks can help me with. I don’t know if this has been asked, I couldn’t find a thread on it. Please forgive me if it’s been asked and answered already. I’m trying to give you the best/most info possible so I am not wasting...
