If this is the same case I read about earlier, the drone pilot was allegedly flying down into neighboring back yards at or below deck levels. That, is invasion of privacy! Shooting out of the air will get a fine. If the memory card didn't get trashed, the video will prove the case (assuming the...

Great news! How about a rescue mission using a bigger drone?

I would exert a sense of urgency on this matter. Have you stirred the pot on the DJI forums?

The restriction of 500 meters is for height only. This is so as to not interfere with piloted aircraft that typically do not go below 2000 feet unless they are on takeoff or landing approach. Though I live by a lake and have seaplanes flying over my roof at 500 feet , so there has to be some...

Hey everybody, this is a community. Let's not start dissing others. If you want to rant, pm the intended audience or go elsewhere. I want to learn and grow here.

My P4 purchased in Toronto several weeks ago, with latest software updates, will fly 1640 ft (500 metres) altitude and software will limit at that point, and I have pushed it over water, line of sight, just over 3000 feet distance from home before complaining about loss of signal. Nowhere near...

Sorry, 3000 feet.....

Altitude, of course. I can get 3000 meters max over open water at a 200' altitude, clear line of sight with passive parabolic reflectors.

I will assume yes, check out this FatShark review:

I recently stayed at Chateau Moncton Hotel in New Brunswick. Every room has a dual antenna router. Just sayin'.

I must inquire why is this area in question so special and made difficult to fly in? Is this another Area 51 thing? Seriously, most of us are just big boys with very expensive toys. We don't wish harm to our craft, or anything/one.

Haven't yet read the entire thread yet, but a point to be aware of is that most hotels have WiFi routers en every room. That's probably consuming the entire WiFi bandwidth, and imagine all the spurious signals emanating in the area. It may simply have gone berserk and landed on a roof for all...

That is unfortunate. I always try my best to have the cam recording from takeoff, but alas for all the excitement of simply going for a fly .... Missed out on a complete wind generator scene :(

P4 owner here, but curious if you retained any video from the camera or downlink during its failure and decent. It might offer clues with its behaviours.
