I’m betting the freezing temps with the fog didn’t help. You have mothers warming and fog all around. Add some temps below freezing and this is a high possibility. I used to fly rc airplanes and this was before drones. I fell in love with the hobby. Well I live in Minnesota and decided to fly in...

So what can a person do. A skilled hacker can steal data from DJI which in turn has access to your phone. Your phone has data on it in other apps. Like credit card info, bank, personal info you wouldn’t want stolen. All a hacker needs is a backside to your phone. It’s scary. The military said to...

I have been flying TC equipment for over 10 years. Props can ruin a day fast. Unbalanced props cause vibration and over a period of time the screws come lose. I had a issue in the wind with my typhoon h pro. Tipped over and the blades were just scratched barely. I knew better but of course being...

If your app thinks your in a airport zone it won’t take off. I had a similar issues with a private airport. I had to go home and unlock the area. Went back the next day to finish the job and it was fine.

Personally I have had no issues, if there was an issue during flight you can just switch the flight mode to sport or manual mode. It will stop the litchi flight. I ran into on issue and it was my fault. I relied on google earth for elevations and cut it too close. I was able to prevent a crash...

He got stuck in a tree as well. That’s why he hasn’t came back. Lol

Unless those sound effects were yours. They were spot on. Seagulls talking and then boom a collision sound then you drones tumbles. Seems like a bird hit your drone.

You can see that there were birds around your drone. Seagulls will attract drones if they feel it's a threat. It looks like a bird strike to me.

I noticed the uneven level video. After your tip over you should have shut off and placed on level surface. The drone had to look like it was flying off. I thought you were in attitude mode. Clearly you were not. Calibration is key with these drones. Sometimes the compass can get mixed up as...

Where about you from. I'm also up here. I have been out. Everyday the last 2 weeks. From the looks of it, we should be pretty good temp wise in the next couple weeks. My rule is 20 degrees or lower no flying.

My first flight was a disaster. There were no drones for us. It was a fixed wing all manual. I remember the short lived excitement in the air for a whole 10 seconds before nose dive into the ground. I seen many birds end this way under my control. I eventually became better and only crashed upon...

Best practice is to drain aircraft to 30 percent and charge. The transmitter is the same. It’s a LiPo battery. Topping off charged up batteries cause early swelling. I have been buying lipos for over 10 years now. There is a happy medium to them. Take care of them and they will take care of your...

No way is it dead. Those small drones are nice. But here in Minnesota we get a lot of wind in the spring and summer. Those drones will suffer in high winds ruining shots. It was 17 mph winds and the spark had a tilted horizontal plane in the shot. The p4a was a rock. My Typhoon H pro was even...

I agree with pano being missing on the p4a. I can take the pano alone. I learned without using special software. Most should. That’s the issue today with drones. No one is learning how to do things on their own. I remember crashing my way to being good. Not today. Just put it up and push a button.
