    FAA Requirements And VR Goggles

    If flying strictly for fun you do not need any kind of certification. Your drone needs to be registered but that's it. You should be able to find everything you need to know here. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) VR glasses are a sticky point. The problem is if you're wearing them you can't...

    That's awesome. How did you finally find him?

    Just a thought and solution about the Phantom 4 in 2020

    Can’t find Pano mode on Phantom 4 Pro - it’s disappeared?

    I thought about the RTH after the fact. LOL I didn't realize that HIGH wind speed was so low that's good to know. Thanks.

    Thought my P4P was a goner

    Just a really quick flight over the woods this time. LOL After watching the video I can see where I had my problem. It was all of 30 seconds before forward progress resumed. It felt a lot longer then that.

    Thought my P4P was a goner

    Almost had a stroke today. I was out flying over the woods and took her up to 400 feet. That is when I got the high wind warning. I turned her around tried to head home but it wouldn't move. I tried to go left and right which it did fine but still no forward movement. I tried to fly...

    How high can this dron fly?

    Legally here in the states 400 feet. DJI built in a 500 meter limit but there are videos taken at over 10000 ft.

    HELP!!! My P4 just arrived and I need help

    Did you take both gamnle locks off? There is a small foam block along with the plastic clip. Did you download the DJIgo app on to tablet? I cant remember but that may be where you register your account.

    Need good case for new P4 pro+

    I cant help with cases but keep in mind you can't check lithium batteries. They have to be in your carry on luggage.

    more gimbal motor overload

    I had the same pro lem with my P4P a d tried all the different calibrations with no success. I called DJI and they had me send it in. I have no idea what they did but it works now. The tech didnt put any info in the repair log.
