Well, unfortunately I will not have a drone. Been spoiled using a company drone and all of the accessories I had added to it at company expense. I probably will not be purchasing one, but who knows. Honestly, I have no burning desire to fly a drone for recreation. Plus my retirement budget...

Well folks... it's coming to the time that I will be riding off into the sunset. I will officially be retiring (at age 72) on June 1st after 49 years in the Environmental Services industry and will be passing down the company drone to the next operator. I began flying a drone (Phantom 2...

A couple of questions. Do recorded videos show up on the card? If you set "Cache video when recording" in the DJI Go 4 app, can you call the video up and review it? Even if the problem isn't the card itself (which it obviously isn't at this point), you would think the drone would throw a...

A few months ago, I joined a Facebook group called "Old Farts with Drones". Well, it seemed to me many of the old farts just wanted to get into arguments and bash each other. Really nasty name calling and sarcasm amongst the members whenever they disagreed, rather than discussing a topic in a...

I had similar wacky stuff happening with my Phantom 4 Pro this past month. Video, gimbal, and battery issues - all at the same time. Turned out to be a bad SDcard. Crazy!!!

I was asked to photograph a company event with my drone, so a few days beforehand I decided to run through some of the camera and flight settings like I usually do in preparation for a job -- only to find that I had no video feed in either DJI Go4 or Litchi. Not only that, but I get the message...

The Phantom P4P is well designed to accomplish tasks that it was built for, and not well designed for the tasks that it was not. Instead of trying to modify the Phantom P4P to try to meet your requirements (which IMO will be futile), my advice would be to save up and spend the money on a larger...

Can you successfully log into your DJI account via a laptop that uses the same WiFi network? If not, your modem may need to be re-booted.

@Droneted recently re-flashed my Phantom 2V+ wifi that had been laying around unused for a couple of years and no longer had a video connection. It now works like a charm. I'll be using it to train a new hire. I highly recommend Ted.

Funny you should ask. Just today I asked Ken Heron, a well-known drone operator, how he can take off from the hood of his car as he does in many of his videos without compass errors. He said the compasses on drones newer than Phantom 4 are more precise and he has never had any issues launching...

Very nice of you.

Just noticed where you live.

Wishing you clear skies on April 8th, Ted.
