    P3A went into auto land mode due to battery

    I'd rather be flying than fishing :cool:. I like to get my fish at a Restaurant, less work and seems to taste better.

    P3A went into auto land mode due to battery

    Go into your battery settings and set your low battery warning to 30% and critical to 17%. Before you do that see where they are now. What most likely happened is the you were close to your critical setting and it did an auto land due to a critical low battery level. When the battery is getting...

    No more Phantom for me.................unless..........

    Polar Pro makes a Gimbal Guard. I don't think you are being fair to yourself or DJI.

    New firmware available...12/25/17

    I have had my Obsidian for a few weeks now and the greatest thing about it is that you can see it in the sky. I have had it out to 800 feet at an altitude of 100 feet and can pick it out easily. The white is just to hard to find.

    Forced to Take DJI Exam?!?

    I don't think anyone disagrees with the Knowledge Test. The questions are simple and you should understand the safety guidelines before you go up into the air. I think the point is, for me anyway and I am Part 107 certified, is that there is no disclosure to the purchaser beforehand. I feel that...

    More bans, no fly zones

    Forced to Take DJI Exam?!?

Another issue with their policies is that they advertise that the product has a range of miles and yet they do not tell you that...

    Your favorite drone forum?

    I must agree. The users here are very willing to help and there is virtually no bashing or sarcasm like the DJI Forum. Although it is only 2 individuals there that do all of the bashing and always have sarcastic remarks along with insults. To bad they have to be that way because they are just...

    Why can’t I fly around this?

    Your main problem is that manned aircraft (Helicopters) will be in the air.

    Dangers of taking off before GPS Satellites have all hooked up?

    Interesting post and this happened to me a couple of days ago but I didn't crash as I was in an open field. It was cold , in the low 40's and I fired up the P4P and took off going up and away and the P4P was very erratic and then I got the Homepoint updated message and it straightened out. I'll...
