    Flying in wind

    I was flying out in the Mojave desert yesterday with 30+MPH gusts with no problem with my P4. I was flying with the wind and hit a top speed of 61.7MPH. Flying back into the wind was slow but not a problem.

    Transferring video from SD Card

    I had similar difficulties last week that I sought advice on at the DJI forum. I had corrupted files. Someone recommended connecting my MacBook Pro to the P4 with the included cable. The P4 is now seen as an external drive. (P4 power is on during file transfer. You might begin by "copying" the...

    What's in My [Phantom] bag?

    Most photographers know that a popular topic on YouTube is "What's in My Camera Bag?". I'd like to share what's in my Phantom Bag. Actually, what's in my Phantom Travel Case and Phantom Backpack. I know there is a thread on backpacks but in this thread I'd like to see what you can actually fit...

    recommendations for the BEST fpv goggles!!

    Yes, the FoxTech are great. I put a cloverleaf antenna and got 1500 meters distance. You'll need to power it with a small battery. Here is a video that shows my setup and some ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxSEXDYP4tE

    Best place to buy Vision + ?

    I've dealt with the folks at DroneFly in the LA area several times. They seem like good people. I wanted someone local (I've stopped in at their facility a few times) and they provided good service. I had an unpleasant experience with another local company that didn't care to listen to me and...

    recommendations for the BEST fpv goggles!!

    I've used the FoxTech goggles for about a year now with no problems. Requires a power input of course but has an integrated receiver. At that time it was roughly a little under $400. I felt it was a good choice but my only issue was a lack of clarity. Example; I couldn't see if there were any...

    Drone at UT game.

    If you'd like some comic relief, watch the news clip at :04 several times when he says "... investigating a DRONE that flew over...". It's hilarious. Everyone just loves this new word. You'd think he was reporting on a UFO from Mars. I was flying Saturday in a populated area in a park where no...

    Southwest Airlines & Phantoms

    I have successfully flown Southwest with a Pelican case (checked) with my Phantom. However the batteries were with me in my carry-on. I think the issue is with TSA, not so much with Southwest.

    How to accept payment for aerial photography in U.S

    I was curious, given the title of the topic. That's all. I've seen copies of citations, and personally know of a professional business shut down for the reason of this subject matter. My question wasn't a complaint. I asked, I saw the answers and that's all I could ask for. Thanks.

    How to accept payment for aerial photography in U.S

    I was under the impression that this forum was mostly frequented by those who flew for a hobby and was interested in staying within the bounds of the law. If the law is presently not to fly for a fee, why are we using this forum to discuss methods of breaking that law? Should there be a...

    Authorities shutting me down

    Respectfully, I find that most who are passionate about multi-rotors and it's fun, and release of the joy of flying and controlling the aircraft in a creative way don't use the word "drone". It also seems that most who are passionate about flying like this are hooked for life and don't have a...

    Authorities shutting me down

    I fly a lot and have for many years. I have never been approached by authorities. Probably because I try very hard to be away from crowds and attempt to stay out of mass public view. I started a thread of hostile "Phantom Haters" a while back viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14908 when I was approached in a...
