Quite honestly, I did not take a prep course. I used the app Prepware Remote Pilot. I also used used the following videos: I did score 100%. I would also advise anyone taking it today to study up on on the new rules regarding flying over people and flying at night. Questions on these...

Found gimble guard at Amazon and it is fulfilled by Amazon. While it is not Polarpro, I just thought I would post this in case you needed one. I believe it is the OEM part. Amazon.com: DJI Phantom 4 Pro/Pro+ Gimbal Stabilizer Lock/Lens Camera Cover (Part 71)...

Think of it this way. If you have a loose hand around the vertical support, when you cut the motor, it just slides down the hand and the top of rhe hand acts as a stop against the belly of the drone. At that point is when you tighten the grip. There is no fight with the motors since they are...

Well yeah if you try to twist to side to cut the motors like a Spark or a Mavic instead of cutting the motors using the controller or you do a tight grip before cutting motors. I have never come close to injury hand catching.

i always hand catch. It depends on how you actually catch it. If you have a hard grip on it (actually grab it) before cutting the motors then I can see a possibility of stress. The motors will fight the grip. If you put a very loose hand on it,, cut motors and then grip then there is very...

Had the same thing happen but I did not come away with the awesome video. While I did not see it, my P4P2 took a swim. I lost connection over a lake. I thought it was lost and then heard a faint noise, looked up and it was coming down spewing water. Go it landed. Immediately cut power and...

Depends on situation. For example,, I was doing a job between two building that limited satellite acquisition. Part of the job, I shot in vision mode. It was not until I got around 5 stories high that I acquired satellites and got the green status.

General Menu 2nd item below "Cache Locally When Recording" "Cache to SD Card". (Right under "Record Audio with Video Cache") You can turn it on. The path however is fixed and appears cannot be changed. You will have to drill down to get to the files. I plan to play around with live...

Ummmm...I was able to select the location I wanted the cache saved (Internal vs SD card) in Go4, did 2 quick videos to experiment and the cache was saved to the SD card. I was able to call up files and play. Thanks for the caution of using max brightness.

I have been using IPad Mini 4 and 5 just fine for the last number of years. I even recommended the use in this thread. Because of this thread i decided to investigate the Crystalsky display. The investigation revealed that the Ipad Mini 5 has a 500 nit display. I was surprised to find that...

Thanks....doing this has been on my "to do" list but it simply has no happened yet.

I'm up in Virginia. I'm under the impression that NC has a requirement of their own test to be able to do commercial drone work. Is this still the case? How was the test?

The Virginia Legislature put in Virginia State code that localities CANNOT enact laws that prohibit/control the use of privately owned drones from property that is normally accessible by the public. I keep a copy of code on my tablet in the case I find myself in the same situation as the...

The very same thing happened with the Tab S2 so I bit the bullet and got the mini and have not looked back. That said, I have not tried my Tab S4 nor my Note 8 with my P4P 2.O. I have used Samsung products for a number of years (and continue to do so for everyday things) and I'm hardly an...
