FYI Neary Aerial drone insurance appears to be a scam. I purchased insurance for my Autel X-Star, I think I paid around $230, for it several months ago. Had an incident and sent an email to Matt Neary, no reply for over a week so I tried to call--number disconnected. About two weeks later he...

Wow that looked like an English major's nightmare, I was using voice recognition. Ignore the grammar lol

My P3S is have a problem, right after take off, within a minute, the app loses total connection. It just goes bank and gives the red warning loss video transmission, even the controller/Gps signal shows nothing. Iv tried it with two phones, an iPhone and an android--same thing. This just started...

I rate the XSP much higher than the P3. The P3 has some advantages, such as being faster and more responsive in Gps mode and more features in the app but I think the XS is a better product and Autel is a better company.

This is typical Chinese style service. I live in China most of the year and the service quality here will never be acceptable in the USA or Europe. DJI does not understand this so I jumped ship to Autel, they have USA based service.

So far I have been lucky as I have not had any encounters with an angry neighbor or bystander regarding my drone flying. It seems to be pretty common though judging by all the stories and YouTube videos. Do any of you have any confrontation stories? If I were confronted, while legally operating...

Lol yep

The orange one reminds me of Halloween. Might put a jack o latern decal on it lol

Iv just joined the Pumkin Army.

Thats why you re Thats why you record every encounter.

If I were you I would have told the officer flat out that I was not breaking any laws and I will not stop flying just so you don't get another call. And if you do write me up on a false charge it does not matter if the DA wants to follow through with it (doubtful) or not, as we will be going to...

That would be cool, Id actually like to do some rain shots. Do you know where I could get a waterproof shell? The drone in the pic doesnt look like a phantom.

Thanks! I bought two units from the link you provided.

I have insurance on my drones, but its only valid if I can retrieve them. A crash in a lake or the sea would mean the craft is pretty much lost. I saw this on the internet where someone had attached portions of a swimming noodle to the landing skids Customizable Floating Extentions for DJI...
