    Do I need to reset drone and controller

    Thanks ianzone for the info. I am really on the fence about maybe selling it. The mavic can’t match it for sure. However I ride pretty rough terrain, rocks, jumps and logs, and the phantom is just way to big.. My mavic air 2 And or the mini can fit in the pack. Not easily but it fits.

    Do I need to reset drone and controller

    Hi everyone, I have been thinking about selling my phantom 4 pro. I have my Mavic now and the phantom is just too big to take with me on mountain bike trips. Can anyone tell me if I need to reset the drone and controller to factory settings before I sell it? Or is this not something to worry...

    Can I fly using another app? In a no fly zone.

    Thanks everyone . And No , not looking to break any rules. Looking for an exception. Due to the circumstances . If I am saying that correctly. The county airport is very busy so there is a no fly and no low altitude choice at all .

    Can I fly using another app? In a no fly zone.

    Hi everyone , So my dads home and 6 acre property is going to be purchased by the pa turnpike . It has been coming for over 25 years or so. About a year ago I was able to fly my drone and take some pictures for him. His property is certainly within a few mile radius of the county airport . I...

    What’s the recommendation when no cell signal ?

    I am wondering what is the best way to handle your drone or fly when you do not have cell phone signal? First From what I understand is that you do not need cell phone signal to communicate with drone and fly. Hope I’m saying that right. How do you verify or check home point ? Without that map...

    Register drone with FAA

    Hi everyone. So I crashed up my p4p a few weeks ago. I sent the drone to DJI because it looked above my self repair capabilities. They sent me an estimate and I agreed to have repaired . I did not receive back the same drone based upon the serial #. I knew that was a possibility from reading...

    lucky crash but what happened ?

    msinger, That may explain why the Phantom did not land but rather headed off without my control. when I think of this further and looking at the map. I am noticing that the phantom flew in the direction of the 1st waypoint I had marked. I really appreciate you all checking this out for me. I...

    lucky crash but what happened ?

    It’s apparent that I do not know how to properly use that flight mode. Need to learn more about it before next attempt.

    lucky crash but what happened ?

    I don’t think so Msinger. I marked 3 waypoints and then flew it home. So another words . I was not flying a waypoint mission , rather marking waypoints.

    lucky crash but what happened ?

    Thanks Msinger. Like I said I was trying to learn how to use that flight mode. I have thought that maybe it tried to go to next waypoint as I was trying to land it. Not sure? It certainly will make me nervous if I attempt to try this again And if I do, I will be in a larger open area. Lol...

    lucky crash but what happened ?

    so as a rookie with the P4P, I wanted to try out the waypoint flight mode this past weekend. It seemed to be going well as I was just marking waypoints. just kind of testing things. So when I decided to bring the bird home, all seemed to be going well, as I was descending closer to my home...
