We just recently started our program and purchased an inspire. I'm hoping in the next year that I can find budget money for a flir camera. Shoot me a pm with your department email and I'd be happy to share our policy.

Thanks, yeah I'm sick to my stomach about the crash, very stupid mistake on my part! I was able to get the bend somewhat corrected but the gimbal is toast. Put it back on the phantom and it doesn't move and just reports errors. Looks like it's off to dji [emoji20] Sent from my iPhone using...

Sad to say I was filming some cool night time motor officer training and I crashed. It appears that the gimbal took the damage. To me it looks like the motors have popped out or separated to a certain degree: There is also a slight bend in the camera arm. Can this be fixed or do I need to...

Yeah that would be nice! didn't put too much thought in to that, just a random idea. It's obviously way off though. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I saw that too with my records. Mine said 11578' was the max height I've gone. To each their own but I've left the hard limit on my bird to 400' so not sure how that ever got in my records. Maybe they are figuring it based on sea level? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I did this one with iMovie: For the record I was trying to chase my wife as she was driving home as practice and was paying too much attention to the video and not the path of the bird. Live and learn, plus there wasn't any damage! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Since I got my phantom in the fall/winter I didn't have this problem but now that it's spring when I fly around my yard I get dead bug goo on my quad. I suppose I need to throw some wet naps in my case lol! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Very cool!

I think you are forgetting that Miranda only applies to custodial (i.e. A reasonable person feels that they are not free to leave) interrogation. Miranda clearly does not apply to an online chat like the op had. In this day and age it would not surprise me one bit that some Leo's are now...

I'll bite, how high can you fly or how high should you fly? 400' is our FAA set ceiling so that should be yours. As far as how high your bird is able to fly someone else can answer that, I really don't know. Kind of similar answer to how far; we are suppose to keep line of sight but I know a...

Ok I added links to these two apps but they aren't showing up: Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I didn't think about your location and its laws. I would still urge against using a uav for this. I think it would draw more attention then you would want. There are some apps that are made for situations like this: EmergenSee by EmergenSee, LLC https://appsto.re/us/u50HA.i SafeTrek - Hold...

At only $399 you can save a bunch of money: TASER Pulse - PRE-ORDER | TASER International But really dude? If your neighborhood is that bad move or at least walk with her if you can.. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

If it's not getting prepped for flight I have it on, but agree with everyone that its design is a pain in the butt. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
