    Flying Etiquette - Man Attacks my Drone with a Fishing Rod after Boat Grounding

    This 100%. If I was in a boat and someone was following and constantly getting this close I would be annoyed too. Illegal? Probably not, but I honestly think you're flirting with the line here with it being harassment. A few fly by's are fine, but you were much too close and definitely violated...

    So just to be clear...

    Good info. Could you point me to where the actual booking for the test happens? The FAA site is pretty vague. The source material for the knowledge test is also surprisingly difficult to locate. I'm not a pilot nor have I ever been one. What resource do they offer for me to learn the information...

    P4 camera not as sharp as I was hoping

    I'm curious as to which TV you have that will allow you to put your card directly into it to watch the files right out of the quad. Thanks.

    META-REVIEW: Complete list of Phantom 4 features & what people are saying about it

    What exactly is meant when they say that the p4 is 5x more stable? What are they referring to by stability here?

    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    There are some very important things that I wish I would have learned about early on, or at least been aware of. One was a proper pre-flight routine. Like checking for cracks in the props or the shell, making sure everything is calibrated correctly, satellites are acquired, battery is in firmly...

    Suffolk County law proposal - prohibition on use of unmanned craft

    I understand that point of view, and it makes perfect sense. I wouldn't expect to be allowed to drive my car through the park where people might be playing basketball. But at the same time, what if I wanted to fly a kite in that same park? Can they say no kite flying? Where is the line drawn in...

    Suffolk County law proposal - prohibition on use of unmanned craft

    I know many people here are well versed in these matters. I'd really like to know if your county park authority really has any legal say whether or not people can fly there or not. I'm sure this issue will become much more prevalent in the future in many more places. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

    "DJI Care" Announced by DJI

    Exactly. It might make you think twice about sending it in for a $50 repair. Especially if current turn around times are any indication. Hopefully they will have repair centers that are closer than China.

    Who's actually filming and Editing in 4k

    Using the gopro program, put your 4k video in, and tell it that you want 1080p to come out. It will do your conversion and give you the 1080p. Keep in mind that if you are doing a full 10-20 minute video it will most likely take HOURS. Do it overnight.

    Who's actually filming and Editing in 4k

    I'm interested to see the 4k side by side with 1080p for myself. I still film in 4k even though I have no 4k TV or monitor, which may or may not turn out to be a waste. I guess we'll see.
