    Drone scam on craigslist and a fake eBay page

    Exact same scam for a golf cart, and a Jeep. I suspect just about anything, any item for sale on eBay will get this treatment. In the case of the golf cart it wasn't a fake page, it was a screenshot of an actual sale that had expired.

    Go4 update wants personal information?

    The app update. Fortunately I don't allow automatic updates, so it had to prompt me and I spotted the new permission.

    A new use you never thought of...

    Like many people I try to avoid doing my chores until the last minute when I just can't put things off any longer. One in particular is clearing my driveway of millions of pine needles and leaves. This takes about ninety minutes with the leaf blower, moving the extension cord three times...

    Air Map for Kindle Fire?

    I have a new 10 inch Kindle Fire to use for my flights, great resolution, bright display, and amazing price. I had to do a slight hack so it would load apps from the Google Play Store, but that worked fine and I loaded GO4 with no problems - works fine. But Air Map won't even give me the...

    Privacy? I don't got to give you no stinkin' privacy!

    Using GO4, what all information is going upstream that I don't know about? My location? My flight path? Flight parameters? Personal ID? Where I took photos??? I assume with a cellular connection to the GO4 app this might be real-time, and with an offline tablet perhaps it catches up the...

    Clip longer than five minutes

    Yesterday I shot a steady fourteen minutes, never gone that long without a cut. Surprised to see that I ended up with three clips of no longer than five minutes each. When I tried to stitch together in GO4 I got a message that I can't do this due to some inherent limitation on what can be...

    Where is the doggone zoom?

    Thanks. I know the lens if fixed but I figured there should be an electronic zoom since digital zoom has been a feature of digital cameras for twenty years. And it must be latent in this unit since it does show up duing focus. Maybe someone will develop a hack...

    Where is the doggone zoom?

    Phantom V 2.0 with GO4 and I don't know where the zoom control is. When I push my shutter button halfway to focus it moves to a zoom view, so how can I lock on the zoom mode? I have looked at every darn youtube I can with no reference to this. Frustrating. For that matter I also can't find a...

    The most difficult part of flying

    Is seeing my darn screen! I have tried my Samsung Galaxy 8+ and my eight inch Android tablet. Both function perfectly but I just can't see the screens. I live in Yuma, Arizona which the record books say is the sunniest place on Earth, and there is no such thing as a shady day. I need...

    Backpack recommendations?

    Hi - V2.0 w total three batteries. Looking for recommendations for two carrying items... An appropriate backpack for the entire kit including spare blades. Prefer to stay away from the DJI brand at over $200 if I can. And, some kind of utility belt, waste unit, whatever just to carry two...
