    The Realtor Can Be Fined for Non Part 107 Pilot???

    I have a related question...what about if I video my own house to sell? Does it matter if I sell it by owner or with a realtor if I video it myself if I do not have a 107 license? TIA.

    Is this the gimbal vibration problem?

    I realize it doesn't go that far. The noise and vibration gets worse the farther it tilts. It starts about 25-30 degrees and really is noticeable when really tilted. I was just trying to get something that could be seem/heard. Thanks.

    Is this the gimbal vibration problem?

    OK, good to know. I can start feeling the vibration about half way to the limit of the travel, just wasn't sure if that was normal or not. The camera I was using to film won't pick it up, but I could hear and feel a high frequency vibration. Thanks.

    Is this the gimbal vibration problem?

    I am in the process of vetting my new P4P and running through the checklist here: How to validate your new Phantom 4P. What to test for. . During this process, I did notice a significant vibration. I could feel it in the arms where I was holding it and in the legs if holding it there. I...

    Unable to use my ipad with P4P

    I upgraded to 11.2 and that appears to have fixed it. I didn't realize apple was so specific to certain versions. Thanks.

    Unable to use my ipad with P4P

    I bought an iPad mini 2 that I was wanting to use with my P4P (it is in the recommended list on here), but it doesn't ever connect to the controller. It always says disconnected on the home/startup screen and nothing is usable when I enter device. I tried 3 different cables that work with fine...

    New P4P just arrived

    Thanks for the feedback. I guess I will see if it works correctly...found the check list here (How to validate your new Phantom 4P. What to test for.) ...and if it does, I guess just use it. I find it hard to believe that they can require you to buy from an authorized distributor, but yet not...

    New P4P just arrived

    Thanks for the info. I will see what I have when I fire it up...although rethinking about keeping it now. I got it from an overstock/closeout company on ebay. Missed one for $940, but still saved $400 over anywhere else I could find. I reviewed the warranty and didn't see anything about only...

    New P4P just arrived

    My new P4P arrived yesterday. It is brand new (still sealed). I only paid $990 for it so I think I got a pretty good deal. I got all the batteries charged up last night, but before I fire it up, I have a couple questions. First, I see lots of posts about firmware. I don't know what mine has...

    is this legit loophole for hobbyist offering aerials??

    Can you do both? Can you fly under 107 for profit but once you have the 107 certification, are you never allowed to fly under hobbyist...even on your own time? Say I want to take video of us boating on the weekend...or whatever...am I bound to always fly under 107 rules even when for my own...

    State Farm PAP - $30 for $1500 coverage.

    I will say that I had this same coverage on my Blade Chroma that I just lost in the lake. I had $700 on it. It cost me $0.44 per month ($5 per year). I filed a claim online Monday, they called the next day to find out what happened. I had a $700 check by the end of the week. Needless to...

    New owner (almost) with questions

    My P4P will be here next week, but I have a few questions before it gets here. I see intelligent batteries advertised/talked about. What does this mean? Can the battery tell you how many hours it has flown or flights it has been used on or how much life is left? How much usage should I get...

    Hello from Southern Indiana

    Looking to replace my lost Blade Chroma with something a little more advanced. I am mainly looking to do night/evening video of Christmas light displays. The Chroma camera just did not do very good for that. I think it just did not have a bright enough lens. Daytime was great, but night was bad...
