Update: DJI repaired the bird under warranty with zero out of pocket cost, and I received it in the mail yesterday via UPS. Flew it today. Checked the battery snap at least 15 times before I took off. I may mod it to include an external safety harness - possibly velcro strips.

ROFL I thought the glass was loose and free by design, and I cursed it every time I had to swap filters. I have been battling that thing since I bought my P4P. I'm just going to buy a Polar Pro UV filter to replace it.

Yep, trying to get that 'reverse reveal shot' of the smoke stacks. Just tested the motors. They run.

The battery was at the tree base. It may have popped out when it collided with the tree or concrete structure next to the tree. Perhaps it was not seated all the way? The battery seems fine, however, as this is the one I've used to power the bird up for the data extractions. Thanks for your...

Maybe 3-4 times, now. I've exported all files stamped in that time frame. I do not have an option to not choose the vid files, either, so it seems the exports are exceedingly large. The UI must have changed since that guide was written. I'm concerned I am frustrating you. My apologies...

This is a listing of the data files. There may be a discrepancy due to a time zone change, maybe? That doesn't seem likely, however. But this is right on the border of the CST and EST. Index by msteele posted Oct 12, 2017 at 10:39 PM I'm going to try to add the remaining files.

How's this? Dropbox - DJI_ASSISTANT_EXPORT_FILE_2017-10-12_19-50-01.DAT EDIT: Probably wrong file. Let me know. EDIT 2: For reference, here is the last frame of the video on my controller. I'm unable to see the relevant file on the SD card. Drone POV is pointed at Home Point located in far...

Sorry, please remind me the location of the file you are needing? PS: yes, I recovered the drone. It dropped into a tree with significant damage. It may have hit the lip of the parking garage on it's way down. :(

Any chance for someone to determine if anything occurred that I could have avoided? Here is the link to my log. P-GPS mode No abrupt flight control movements Noted high-pitch prop noise for about 1 second before drone disconnected. Drone dropped from ~210'-240' AGL Thanks. I'll respond to any...

The second video in the canyon reminded me of Christmas time, for some reason. :)

Good info here for a novice such as myself. I'm also curious as to how the 60 sec video from LarBear360 turns out if Kristina sent it to him.

If I had a 10th of your skill, I'd be light years ahead of where I am now. Absolutely gorgeous.

I should have learned a trade like this. You do beautiful work, and the craftsmanship is stunning. I am a firm believer that the small details - like in the tile design of that T-junction you did - separate the amateurs from truly skilled, such as yourself.
