    Latest Update to Itunes No longer supports Apps

    Well, I downloaded iExplorer 4 (iExplorer) to test if it works, and then bought the full version ($39) but at least I can download/upload anything I want from my iPad Aire 2 now. It's the only work-around I was able to find...

    Height estimation

    That makes sense but can you set the RTH altitude on the fly, i.e while it's up in the air, or do you need to land so it can reset and capture a new RTH position?

    Latest Update to Itunes No longer supports Apps

    You evidently haven't upgraded to v12.7 then. No more iPhone app browsing in iTunes on Mac makes me sad or Apple's iTunes update removes the desktop iOS app store

    Latest Update to Itunes No longer supports Apps

    Yeah, I'm sure. If you updated to iTunes version 12.7, you'll never see the apps on your iPhone or iPad listed there anymore or have the ability to access the files in any apps. I searched Google, and Apple evidently downgraded iTunes with the latest update to remove the "bloat" and to...

    Latest Update to Itunes No longer supports Apps

    So I've downloaded my flight logs and video caches from my Ipad's DJI Go 4 app, using iTunes just like they recommend on the HeathyDrones.com website. But the latest update to iTunes deleted any way to connect to the iPhone or iPad apps, so I have no idea how to download these flight logs...

    CNN granted part-107 waiver to fly over people

    It's also for a much smaller drone; nothing the size of the phantom birds...

    FAA heliports

    Within five miles from my house, I have a country regional airport, a regional hospital helipad, and a private party airport. I visited all three. The private has seven semi-trailer trailers along the runway being used for storage for the apples they pick. The airport hasn't been used for...

    Easy question for some!

    I use an IPad Air 2. It doesn't have cellular service but I link it to my cellphone hotspot before my flights (it's part of my preflight checklist).

    large flying bugs...could a collision bring a drone down ?

    I doubt that bugs will bring your drone down, but I would imagine full-sized birds could if you flew into a flock...

    Problem with h.265 footage - "broken GOP"?

    My output is always HD 1080. But I record in 4K specifically to give me more editing options in zooming around the 4K video...

    Kudos to DJI.

    Well, my worst fear happened today. It was my seventh flight. I had small trees in front of me on the bank of the Rappahannock River with my bird out about 900 feet. My video started breaking up, so I knew it was time to head back. I turned the bird around just as the DPI Go 4 flashed that comms...

    Part 107 Pilots

    If you're a certified Part 107 pilot and fly most your flights under that moniker, did you file for a business license in your state? And if so, did you file as an LLC, C or S Corporation? Just wondering how the majority of forum members claim income on their taxes if they actually make money...

    Crazy jello with P4P!! Is this normal?

    Question: do you folks re-install the foam block after each flight or did you pitch it and just use the Gimbal and Lens lock?

    Flight radar arrow points in reverse to way drone is facing P4P

    Fantastic point! Bird can't know where it's pointing without a calibrated compass... :-)

    Error Message on My P4P

    I know many here don't like to update their firmware, and I agree it's a pain when DJI restricts where you can fly, but I always assume they have a better handle on how to keep this bird in the air than I do. They know the electronics, transmitters / receivers, sensors, etc., and update the...
