Odd someone would ask for an opinion and then get insulted when an opinion is given that differs from his. That's why I find forums like this a waste of time for the most part. And I've just wasted time reading through this nonsense thread. :-/

OK clue me in. I have CF props on my P3P. Is this an issue? What do I need to know? Not familiar with any negatives around CF props. What am I missing?

Once had the same problem. Learned from another thread that reformatting the memory card from the DJI Go app clears the issue. Not sure why it does that but now I format it before every flight if I'm taking pics or video I know will be important to keep. Just make sure you've downloaded anything...

Today I was able to test this. Once the bird was connected to the controller I was able to change the max altitude to over 120m. But if you enter anything over 120 you get a warning that you are exceeding the FAA max altitude limit. But if you acknowledge it, you can set it up to 500m.

I have also been unable to set altitude higher than 120m in DJI Go. Does this possibly have to do with the FAA limit of 400 feet in the US for drones? 400 feet is pretty close to 120 meters (393.6 feet). Just curious if anyone knows if this limitation is set for the Go app in the US and cannot...

Just turned over my bird to install some reinforcement plates under the motors and noticed one of the opaque covers on the status lights is missing. Don't know if it flew off in flight or what happened. I don't think it's more than a cosmetic issue, doesn't affect airflow as far as I can tell...

Got a new P3P this week. Have flown smaller quads before. I must say this thing is a dream. Took it to an open field this morning for some basic maneuvers. Love the responsiveness, hover, RTH (tried that to make sure it worked). Took some practice video and stills. Gonna love this thing. Will...

I just got a new Phantom 3 Pro this week. Took it to Lover's Lane for some testing. Love it. Very responsive. Is there a drone club in Bastrop? I live just S/E of the city between Bastrop and Smithville.
