    Is it the Heat?, or being left for a period of time?

    Heat or unpowered? Good question since mine could have been either one. When I flew it last November all was fine. Once mid winter I did what DJI recommends, remove props and run down the batteries and then recharge to half charge or something like that. It could have been the heat from the...

    My Drone Flew Away, there goes over $1000

    Is it legal to fly up to get closer pictures with a drone? A blimp is aircraft? Just wondering since I seem to be in a blimp flight path during football season. I'm going to guess it is not legal. But wonder why nobody else has mentioned this.

    Just sold my 3rd party battery... Why?

    I replied, that's all you have? So it's your job to tell me my post is irrelevant when it was on topic while yours wasn't? You can say "no offense intended" , I wasn't offended by you, just annoyed by your smartass attitude.

    Just sold my 3rd party battery... Why?

    Panel Line Your DJI VPS like a model

    I like how you labeled the battery. "Battery #3", that way you won't get it mixed up with something else.

    Best Buy

    I usually don't find Best Buy to be the best buy.

    P3 charging hub work with P2?

    Thank you all for the replies. As it turns out a single will work for now. Have 4 batteries but only is worth using, the other three are swelled up and in Assistant it shows a lot of variation between the cells. One of them shows 7 discharges, two only show 3. I think these batteries are a lot...

    Had the P2V+ for one day and almost ready to sell it.

    Thank you for your advice. BUT I followed all the posts and advice that told me to be SURE everything is up to date. I haven't lost anything. Camera tilt sucks with Litchi but it's fine for everything else. The Vision app seems to work fine also. I do get some screwed up video feed to my...

    Interesting accessory

    Does the one with two red pods cost more to produce than the one with four white pods?

    Done with aftermarket battery

    Sorry to hear that. How old was the battery? Did you know it was an aftermarket battery when you purchased it? Ebay? Could you explain further please? I'm interested.
