    Scared to fly too far....

    (Sorry for posting twice, I didn't see my first come up.)As a former USAF Weather Specialist, I can assure you, wind can be calm at the surface, but a couple of hundred feet up or less, the winds can be ripping. My advice to all is get one of the weather programs, for drone pilots, to find out...

    Scared to fly too far....

    I can assure you, as a former USAF Weather Specialist, what you say is absolutely true. It can be calm at the surface, but aloft, the winds can be tearing, There are several good weather programs for drone pilots, and I suggest everyone get one. They will tell you what the wind speeds are aloft.

    Possible answer to why some have cracked shells

    I thought maybe the vibration of unbalanced props might be the reason. Lets get a few more answers before deciding.

    Possible answer to why some have cracked shells

    How many of you, with cracks in the shell, have balanced your props? Do any of you, who have balanced your props, have cracks?

    Got my Nvidia shield tablet today, HELP!

    Just install the DJI GO app, and fly. I leave all the rest of the stuff on there so when I'm not flying, I can play a few games. Some of the Nvidia stuff is interesting. Doesn't take up a lot of room. Of course, I have the 32GB version with LTE, so it bothers me less. Love my Shield! Great video.

    Nexus 6?

    I have a Nexus 6p, but I think I'll stick to my Nvidia shield. Great tablet for flying! There is a printed sunshield for the Nvidia Shield. Won't fold up, but works great.

    Got my deal on Amazon last week. Phantom 3 Pro with three batteries, Manfrotto bag, filter kit, and three battery charger for $1600. Priced it out, and after the accessories, drone came to $1000. They must have known in advance.

    Myanmar, Vietnam and Lens Removal

    I was in Vietnam, but when I was there, the only things flying were bullets.

    Vision Camera Stabilizer

    KenW: Exactly which gimbal was this? Ali Baba sells a few. I wanted to find one tested and tried. How is that one working out for you, after some time and use?
