    EXTREME Price Jump

    Not so. Price and availability controls the market. Law of supply & demand. Basic economics 101.

    Beware this company!!!!!

    Had a similar "Bait & Switch" ordering high quality Garmin Dashcams. Received cheap quality cams instead drop shipped from China. I've been arguing with the credit card company (Citi) for 3.5 months now about getting refunds. Very poorly handled by them. They are very inept. When it's...

    Another near miss at Heathrow

    And the article includes an image of a DJI Phantom. I would think DJI would be going nuts over those negative images.

    Drone flies alongside a jet.

    And the article is headed by a big image of a DJI Phantom. A Phantom 1 no less.

    Anyone using a GPS tracker?

    And if you are operating the craft in an area of no cell service? Marco Polo for me. Hope I never have to use it.

    Illegal to fly under 400 foot?

    Same in Oregon. If someone complains, then the craft has to stay above 400' above their property. It hasn't been tested in court yet.

    Am I Lucky Or What?

    Yes, it is much less up front cost. But, where I operate in Oregon, cell service is patchy and in most cases, non-existent. Something to consider when deciding which one to utilize. City slickers likely don't need the self-contained style of tracker.

    Worth upgrading Phantom 2 or just buy Phantom 3?

    Another opinion. I like the P2 with the FPV setup. Yes it was work to research, get, and install all of the various pieces. But, it operates on its own without smart phone technology. Not having a smart phone (I'm a flip phone guy - I know, I know, I'm a tech dinosaur) I like that. With...

    Am I Lucky Or What?

    Glad you found it. That or those (can't tell how many by the herky jerky video) storm cells are fairly obvious to see. As a licensed pilot, we are taught to give storm cells a 20 mile space as they can have that much influence.
