The differences between the P3S and P3A/P are such that while I "want" those extra features, I personally wouldn't get any practical use out of them. They're great birds with great cameras and controllers, but what I have is more than sufficient for my needs. :)

Yes you will want to connect to wifi, enter camera mode on dji go, then browse around the area you will be flying on the dgi go map which will cache the map to the device.

1) The pixelation is just the video downlink from the drone temporarily losing resolution due to signal interference/loss. Nothing to worry about. Happens all the time. 2) You need to sync all the maps to the device by browsing/zooming/etc the map where you'll be flying while your Shield is...

Apologies, I thought you meant a post you wrote. My mistake. :)

Compare it to the cost of getting a pilot's license. If you already have a license you can skip the FAA cert test too...

Yeah, someone corrected me earlier. :) Corrected I stand!

Link stating basically what you said: KEEP CALM: The FAA and sUAVs/Drone Rules (Final UPDATE) by Jeff Foster - ProVideo Coalition They're safety guidelines, but not enforceable laws. That said, I plan on sticking to the recommendations. The last thing I want is to be the cause of some incident...

Sour cream and onion quadcopter props? Yum.

Thanks for the clarification. :-)

Excellent. Definitely worth the shipping $ for the peace of mind.

Yeah, that's pretty much the key. You paid for a new unit, got a broken unit, then a provably pre-owned unit. Sounds like their note about updating the firmware, etc, may have been a cover for selling you a pre-owned unit.
