I live under the final approach path of a major airport and I never give privacy a second thought - I'm more concerned that one of those planes will fall out of the sky. sort of like the Phantoms do from time to time! Police helicopters are far more of an intrusion than anything else in the sky.

This is why I'm selling one of my drones and maybe both of them. It has become politically incorrect to fly a drone and the hassles just are not worth it anymore. In CommieFornia where I live I am the ultimate hated person, I fly drones and am a gun owner - no one is a lower life form here...

Agreed, I've been using his device for about a year as well and my batteries are over 3 years old and still going strong.

After this latest update I'm getting the "strong interference" warning and scrambled video on my Android device. I get the same message on my iPad but the video is fine. Something in this last update caused these issues as they were not there before the update.

The state legislators in Commifornia can't wait for this bill to pass. There won't be any place to fly except for a few "designated" drone flight areas the size of a baseball field. This hobby is already very restrictive as to where you can fly without getting harassed in CA - even if those...

I hope you are successful with your design. Noise draws too much attention and I think people would be a lot less annoyed with drones if they didn't make so much noise. Keep us posted as I think you will have a lot of interest if these become available.

They are back up to $54.99 now.

Of course the Porsche variant will have a manual fly mode for those times you want to take it "to the track" and drop all of the "traction controls".

Spot on

Again, it's not a tablet - it's not intended to run your other apps. It is not meant to be a replacement for your tablet - just a replacement for your tablet when using it with your drone. I see nothing but upside in this.

A lot of apps have processes that run in the background. The only way to really be sure they are not running (on Android) is to do into the settings and force shutdown. Otherwise there will be processes running that start with the tablet startup. Apps are really never truly shut down unless...

I completely agree that a dedicated monitor is the best way to go. I have tablets to run all the other apps I want but those tablets sometimes have or create conflicts with DJI GO. I've been thinking of buying a tablet just to use with my P3P, strip out all but the most essential software and...

I did this mod on my P3S and the only issue I found with the kit is that the cables that came with mine were too short so I ordered different (an in my opinion, better) cables from amazon - the seller was a Chinese company but the cables were very good and sized perfectly. Shipping was also...

Yeah, keep the one you have, learn about it and how to take good video etc. There's no point in jumping to the next level until you are sure this is something you will still be doing in 6 to 12 months. With the increasing restrictions on where you can fly (in CA for example) this could become...

Drone Laws are going to get just as ridiculous as gun laws. I can see Bloomberg and his gang of zealots jumping on this.
