I second this. While RTH is nice, it isn't always the best way to bring it home unless you're in an open area. I tested it once with my P3P in an open field and it will land up to 15 feet from the takeoff point. To test this I'd take it up and fly in one direction the hit the RTH button, then...

On my Nvidia K1 tablet I have to force stop on the DJI Go app before I can run Litchi otherwise it crashes. This might be the problem you are having if Go is running in the background.

I find there are many things more annoying than the sound my drone makes. For example the family who moved into a house over a block away who play their rap music so loud I can't hear my lawnmower running.

Like Meta4 said testing before would be a good idea. If auto doesn't give you good results try higher ISO settings. The problem with this is higher ISOs generally mean more noise in the picture. If your subjects are stationary you may have better luck with longer shutter speeds.

...as well as retractable landing gear, foldable arms, 360 degree gimble, will still allow you to land safely if you lose one prop or motor. Like everything else it has its good and bad points.

Is that 6000 feet ASL or AGL? If I were to set the max altitude to 500 meters I could fly to 1640 feet AGL. The elevation of the local airport is 2284 feet so I could fly to an altitude of 3924 feet ASL if I took off from the airport. Denver airport sits at an elevation of 5430 feet. Taking off...

April 8th, 2024 you'll get another chance. The path will from Texas to New York. The path will take it through Erie, Pa which only 3 hours drive north of me.

I'd probably word that differently. If my church asked if I'd take a picture of their new steeple or if I offered to take the picture for their website I'd need a 107 certificate. The same for any non-hobby/recreational use.

I'm a hobbiest, but in this case I don't think it matters one way or another. Nor do I think airspace matters. I'd notify them no matter what leaving them the time I'll be flying, where, how high and how long. I also give them my name and number in case an unplanned flight is coming in. I look...

How true. A woman I used to work with lost her husband to mesothelioma. She was a part of a class action suit. Once the lawyers took their cut they then charged for incidentals (paper clips, paper, pencils, lunches, expert witnesses, and every other expense they could think of). In the end she...

Try advertising agencies. I see more and more advertisers using drone footage. From flying over car dealerships to show their huge inventory to retirement communities showing their properties and everything in between. I'm sure there will be others with many more suggestions.

Perhaps, but the TH has several features the Phantom does not have such as retractable landing gear, you can pan the camera, 6 motors allows it to switch to five motor mode to keep it airborne long enough to land, and with the wizard allows two person control (one controlling the camera, one...

Actually there is an even better solution. I've been looking at the Yuneec Typhoon H Pro and the Autel X-Star Premium. If DJI decides to brick my Phantom I'll be buying one of these models. If enough people drop DJI maybe they'll get the message. If the airport and the hospital (MedStar) tell...

Just looked, the GoFundMe page is gone.
