    *SOLD* - Phantom 4 Pro+ with many extras at a great price

    Thanks BB ... it will be on the way later today. To everyone else that contacted me ... (a) it's sold, and (b) clearly I under-priced this. :oops:

    *SOLD* - Phantom 4 Pro+ with many extras at a great price

    I don't want to haggle or negotiate, so I'm posting this below market to just get it sold to a new and loving home. I've bought a new drone and thought I'd want two, but I barely have time to fly the one I just bought, and this terrific aircraft and accessories just aren't getting the love they...

    Dog goes crazy

    You guys need dogs like mine, that are lazy and stupid. They glance at it, treat it with a kind of benign neglect, and wander off to eat each other's doo-doo. I have VPS on ... they don't care. Ignorance is bliss ... and I have happy drone-safe dogs.

    New battery charging problem

    Return and replace that battery. Even if you figure out a way to hack it to a powered state, I'd never trust it in my drone.

    Into the ocean...again!

    Call your wife's bluff ... go buy a Mavic 2. There are too many wimps in the world. JUST DO IT. (LOL)

    brain teaser

    I was thinking "top of mountain".

    Do I need two drones?

    I've enjoyed my P4P+ for a couple of years now, and recently finished the first-flight on my new Mavic 2 Zoom. To answer your question ... I think back to something my dad used to say that's burned into my mind: "At some point in every decision, the right thing to do will become completely...

    Augment ... don't Replace

    AMEN Timinator ... I heard they might be coming out with a similar dedicated controller (with screen) for the Mavic 2. If they do, I'll be first in line to buy it.

    Augment ... don't Replace

    Meant "P4P+" in that last post (obviously). Definitely agree with the "No Enhancements" policy on EOL products, but would hope they release bug-fix firmware when they find any new service-affecting issues. I guess we'll see ... That said, with millions of flight hours and a huge installed...

    Augment ... don't Replace

    I work at HP, and have been a technology junkie my whole life. Living on the cutting edge of what is technically possible ... is where I love to live. Definitely a "gadget guy". Interesting FlyDawg ... that your assumption is that there won't be any bug-fix releases of firmware or software...

    Augment ... don't Replace

    I love my P4P+ and decided to augment my fleet with Drone #2 ... the Mavic 2 Zoom. It arrives on Thursday. No need to gnash teeth or wring hands about the Phantom Series. Love the old and let it live as long as it can, but embrace change and give the new stuff a try. Decided on the Zoom...

    CRAZY FOOTAGE THAT I CAME ACROSS ~ Enjoy!

    Clearly a pilot with more than enough money to replace his drone in the event of a crash. Wow ... I will NEVER be 1/10th that good.

    Stress Cracks WTF

    It's really strange how some crack, and some don't. DJI should definitely start looking into "Why?". Is it "feature-based"? Is it "flight-profile-based"? There's got to be a reason why one drone comes off the production line and cracks ... and the next one doesn't. That said, in the...

    Odd upgrade behavior ... Am I alone?

    Sorry ... missed that part.

    Odd upgrade behavior ... Am I alone?

    Really? Is that true? Are you saying the only way to upgrade the P4P AC firmware ... is via an SD Card? I need to stress-test that theory just a bit.
