    No Drones in state Park?

    The sign is right after you enter and pay to "use" the park. The sign is a metal one, not paper. And this is a State Park, not National.

    No Drones in state Park?

    Sad to see this as we entered the Valley of Fire in Nevada. Hope this isn't a trend...

    Downloading pics from camera gimbel

    I assume you know that you can down load the pictures wirelessly thru the DJI GO app. The controller and P3 have to be powered on and connected. Then thrust the DJI GO app go to albums and download the pictures or video to the tablet device where the DJI GO app is running.

    IOS apps for new firmware

    Interesting indeed. It would seem that it is dependent on iOS 9 (which is still in Beta - possible release in September 2015).

    DJI Intelligent Flight Mode = Mr. Cranky Pants

    That's interesting as the web site indicates that it is awaiting approval from the App Store and the current version does not work with the latest firmware. Same in the description for the app in the App Store.

    Drone Etc and warranty

    The exact statement is: "Does not cover detachable/optional camera". That said, thus can be left to interpretation. It us for this reason I asked them to clarify. They did. Now, if you still don't like it, don't purchase from them. I read this as not covering optional detachable camera. The...

    Phantom 3 prop guards, to get or not to get???

    I've never used the CSC to land the Phantom. I always land, descending in a controlled fashion. Still, any propeller wash can result in tipping over. Regardless, once one gets more proficient, the need for prop guards falls away.

    Phantom 3 prop guards, to get or not to get???

    I have lost props landing when the phantom tipped over. The prop guard have saved me numerous times since. It's not strictly about flying unsafely.

    Phantom 4, what would you like

    I would like to see better battery life of course. Then there are features that we haven't seen yet but are under development such as Follow-Me. A sensor that would detect objects above would be a good thing - consider flying in the blind and amongst trees, i.e a tree canopy. You wouldn't want...

    Drone Etc and warranty

    I have a question out to Drone Etc about whether the camera and gimbal are covered by the insurance however got a response from Joshua Kind from Drone Fly indicating that their insurance does cover the camera and gimbal. Only thing not covered is if you can not find your drone.

    GPC limited edition STORM back pack detailed reviews.

    This backpack look sweet. Does anyone know if the backpack will hold the P3P if it has the snap on/off prop guards? These have a tendency of being slightly wider around the motor. I've had to shave some of the packing around a previous case I had to accommodate the prop guard in the past.

    Phantom 3 prop guards, to get or not to get???

    I purchased prop guards for my Phantom 2 Vision when I first started out. My need wasn't in crashing into something on flying but in take off and landing. In these situations, the Phantom would tip over breaking a prop. The addition of the prop guard saved me replacing a bunch if props till...

    Drone Etc and warranty

    That's interesting as the camera is one key component that I would want to protect from a bad landing.
