    Firearms

    You mean you carry to the 'Stop & Rob", whatever for? <insert sarcasm here> As a retired LEO and current Reserve Officer I wouldn't feel 'dressed' without my Glock 27.

    Ignorant People Make Me Wonder Why I Bother?

    I remember that story, and the video. At the time I just thought what an incredibly stupid thing to do.

    Ignorant People Make Me Wonder Why I Bother?

    In 3 years and hundreds of flights I have only had a couple of negative encounters with people. Most are just curious, and want to know about the drone, I keep some copies of the 'Know before you fly' flyer in my bag to hand out, the one that lists the 'do's' & 'don't' of flying. I did have one...

    Tablet holder for you Ipad Flyers

    Actually this looks pretty good, not to many options with the current design of the controller, making a phone sized iPad mount that quick connects to the controller is awesome. All of the data on the Mavic screen is duplicated on the DJI GO app so as long as you can reach the sticks OK all is...

    My first creek flight, crash, and loss.

    I had this situation once with power lines where I saw them at the last moment (darn things are very hard to see, look for poles or towers). I did not touch the elevation control just pulled all the way back on the throttle held it for a moment and released, stopping the bird in place. Then...

    Not THAT bad after 1500' death plunge

    15 flights on it so far without control issues, but I have seen a random 'blip' in the video feed. Several times during a flight, just a fast flicker but never had it before.

    Increase in the number of crash threads recently?

    I am on the latest firmware with 15 flights and no issues yet, full sat's and signal out to 10,000'.(DBS Mod's antenna system) I do however have an intermittent 'blip' in the video feed that is bugging me, which I didn't have before. Tried changing channels and locking it down but the blip is...

    Near collision with military hellicopter

    The rule is simple to understand, YOU ALWAYS yield airspace to MANNED A/C, how hard is that to understand.

    Don't launch from roof of your car ...

    NEVER, EVER launch from a metal surface, unless you don't want to keep your bird. The compass is on the bottom of the landing leg within an inch of the car top, and the metal will seriously screw with the compass. Some times it will correct itself after lift off, and others it will just fly...

    Dbs extender

    Yes, both cables from the DBS 02 panel kit will screw right on to the MAXXuav connectors.

    Dbs extender

    Get the dbs 02 panel antenna, I love mine. Basically I run out of battery before range. I got a set of 2.4 Ghz antennas to screw on for when I am just doing local (within 1000'). But I have my case cut out to accommodate the DBS on the controller. For the money its the best IMHO. No drilling the...

    IMPORTANT: DJI Go app 2.50/2.51 enables GEO functionality

    Same here, my bird is flying just fine on 2.4.3 and 1.4.1, where it will stay for the foreseeable future.

    P3P Firmware V1.07.0043 PLUS APP

    Well this totally sucks, guess I won't be updating past 1.6

    P3A/P - is our range crippled now??

    I am sure glad that guy was banned, I had him on my block list but he still showed up in quotes. On another note I have seen no range change in my P3A (initial release) with all firmware updates applied. Over 200 flights so far without one issue. (knock, knock :) )

    Flying anonymously

    Man, that dude just landed on earth, that was the strangest post I have ever read. I sure hope that was all tongue in cheek, otherwise if he wants to meet the serial killer he just has to look in the mirror.
