I know I am in the minority but if you consistently break the laws then you should get into a different hobby, start collecting paper dolls or something. Yes, I know when I first got my P3A I stretched the legs and went out way beyond VLOS but I did that like twice. Since then I have got a...

You just need the P3P as your controller will work fine with a new P3P. Have you tried to locate it as if it ended in a tree it could be it is not all that damaged?

I saw it online so I went to the store and asked for the Spark Combo open box. They came back with it and it had a yellow tag on it marked as clearance. But I went to the store, specifically asked for it and then got it. I don't think if you look at the showcase they are ever there as he had to...

If you go to the Micro Center website and select the store you are interested in. Then search for instance "dji spark" or whatever. On the left it will show you different categories like New, Closeout, Refurbished, Open Box, etc. If you don't have the category for like refurbished or open box...

I just checked the one in Denver and it is still available. You might want to check your local Micro Center and then check for the open box items. These items comes with a warranty.

Also, they were selling Mavics open box for $558. A number of people on the $399 Spark Combo thread ended up buying those.

I don't know - maybe... But my local Micro Center, which is DJI authorized dealer has an open box P4 for $535 and a Phantom 3 Professional for $335. Both have warranties. But then again they were selling the Spark Combo normally $699 for $399 but that deal ended 31-Dec. So maybe their prices are...

Thanks Brian and Pinnacle. Yea, I don't fly over people, guess I'm old school. I was just wanting to maybe get some footage. A long time ago, back in the dark ages, I was a support engineer for a little company called Datapoint and lived in San Antonio for about a year. I'm on FB so will jump...

I'm going to be in San Antonio shortly for my military squadron reunion. Plan to take a couple of drones with me. If I understand correctly one is not allowed to fly in Hemisfair Park as the web has conflicting information. I guess I will contact the park and see what they say but it isn't...

Yea, I plan to do that but I know at the current time they are overwhelmed with all the Mavic shipping issues so I will call them when that settles down. No biggie as I can just keep flying.

The problem is that I no longer have access to that email account as it was through a school with a .edu address. And when you attempt to retrieve it it sends it to the email address that I no longer have access to.

That is just it. I used my .edu email when I did all my original flying. Then I went off hiking for a long time and reset my K1 Shield and now I don't know my password for my old .edu account. I created a new DJI account and have been flying with that.

They are not on my tablet any longer. I just want to get all my old flights from the DJI cloud linked to my new DJI account. If nothing else once all the dust settles from the Mavic then I will contact DJI.

I have a K1 Shield and have flown extensively (probably close to 300 miles) with 4 different P3 drones. Never had any issue and never any latency problem. I think there is a setting for caching in the DJI go app. But mine works fine as well as one of my best friends who has the exact setup. You...
