    Hard Cases

    The Nanuk looks like a good case too. I actually found one of them for the Phantom 3 for $149. If the cheap one I bought doesn't hold up, I'll be looking to get a better case like the OP has or the Nanuk I found. They both look like they will hold up great to abuse.

    Hard Cases

    That's a good looking case for sure. Be nice for carrying a drone if conditions were rough as in the back of a truck or with other things stacked on the case. Inwardly it's set up about like the one I have, but outwardly much tougher. I looked at cases like yours and just couldn't justify the...

    Hard Cases

    I have a hard case I just bought. I went cheap on mine as it was all I could afford at the time. It's ABS with aluminum frame and cost me $38 on ebay. Dronindave, what kind of hard case do you have and what would you like to have out of it?

    IOS vs ANDROID DJI Go App

    I bought my drone before the end of 2016. Although I'm not sure when the latest update was, I have flown both the IOS and Android and had no problem with either at all. I'm even using an Android powered tablet that isn't on anyone's list of compatible devices and it's worked flawlessly so far...

    Can the FAA track your drone and match to you?

    Yep, they are seeing videos on line (You tube) and tracking the person down that's posting the videos. I watched a video where someone who posts a lot of videos was called by the FAA. He explained what they called about. So there are a lot of those type videos. Just search: FAA Called me about...

    Extendable Phone/Mobile Device Holder!

    I bought this for my drone right after getting it. I used it once to hold my phone and then started using my wife's Ipad Mini so adapted the holder part of it too hold the Ipad. I then purchased my own tablet which is a 10.1" so made my own holder for it. I no longer need this and it's like...

    How Old are you and what Phantom Do you have?

    Janel.......... I couldn't leave mine in a tree like that. I'd either get someone to climb it for me or cut the tree down. :cool:

    Advice on Drone

    My suggestions: Figure out exactly what you want to do with it, now and in the future. How much money you want too/can spend on one and what you expect from the drone as far as bells and whistles, such as obstacle avoidance and such. Then do a lot of research, read and watch reviews of the...

    need a hardshell case

    Best and Cheapest are two entirely different things. But I understand what your asking. I too like to get the best bang for my buck. If your going to find out anything it's best to ask the people using the stuff your looking for. That way you can wade thru the good and bad more efficiently...

    It pays to be nice...

    I took Bickering to mean "Haggling" Sometimes no matter how good a deal is, a person just doesn't have the asking price to readily spend. "Low Balling" is an entirely different can of worms. Low Balling just too take advantage of someone in a "Have To Sell" situation just isn't nice.

    Preferred Sellers! Or some such thing.

    Having purchased a new battery from a fellow member and being happy with the transaction I was wondering if there was a list of good sellers here that other members could add a name too. I thought that this would be good for other members like myself that hadn't been a member long and might be...

    It pays to be nice...

    I can understand bickering on price. Everyone likes to save as much as possible, but sometimes a deal is just a deal and it's just not a good thing to try to save even more and possibly upset a seller. Glad you had a sale and a trade work out for you and that the buyers will be very happy as...

    It would be dead handy...

    I'm using a Digiland 10.1" tablet running android Marshmallow 6.0 w/ GPS and it has thus far worked flawlessly. I love the size and it works great with my remote using the DIY holder I made. I picked this one up on "Deal of the Day" at Best Buy for $74.99
