    I use NLD all the time on 4 different models. Never had a problem.

    What's up with DJI

    The fraud thing stated it had pushed up the price of the drones by 20%. Have we seen prices fall by 20%? Nope. They make great products but I hate and distrust the company. No longer buying DJI.

    Bullet Drone

    Shooting a drone out of the sky is illegal, no matter what kind of 'bullet' is used.

    Can you have too many drones?

    Then I'm a hoarder. Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro+, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, Typhoon H, 2 Parrot Discos, various small indoor birds. Main difference - I have no better half to keep me in check!

    Post your drone fleet!

    Ughhh, too many toys. Had a regular P4 as well but wasn't paying attention and lost it. (and I'm eyeing a M2P) (and a Typhoon H plus) :rolleyes: Love those Discos! Battery upgrade and 2 hours in the air. Also easy to fly over 4G. ;)

    DJI addresses alleged corruption scandal that reportedly increased product prices by 20%

    DJI addresses alleged corruption scandal that reportedly increased product prices by 20% Will we see a 20% price drop? I seriously doubt it. Looks more like propaganda than anything else.

    Jurisdiction: Railroad vs. FAA ... is this similar to National Parks

    Pay the fine. Then file a counter suit for 100 times that amount for violations of your rights.

    Drone Operator Stupidity

    'Schrodinger’s Drone': This is a great article. Still no evidence in either Gatwick or Heathrow. Drones Are the New Flying Saucers

    Flying over animals

    My ex has a farm with about 11 horses and the neighbor a herd of cows. In both cases, when flying at about 8 feet above the ground, they all ran over to inspect the aircraft. I was shocked to discover their curiosity. Flying around the pasture, the horses all followed it around. Some of the...

    Come on guys - it’s driving me nuts!

    I battled this across multiple firmware. Once you find your shot, give the gimbal time to stabilize. You'll see it slowly move to horizontal. For me, it took waypoint flying to figure this out. In many of the waypoint apps, there is a setting to wait x seconds before taking a picture. I...

    Drone Operator Stupidity

    The Gatwick incident has all but dropped from the news since the police admitted it was most likely their own surveillance drones which caused the incident. I'm betting the Heathrow incident may be the same. We're fighting a loosing battle because the media is quick to blame without facts and...

    Another brand besides DJI drone

    There is a simple hack to enable waypoint navigation. Export the Typhoon H model from the ST16 Controller to an SD card. Open SD card on PC and find/open the manifest.csv file Change the Name to Typhoon H Waypoint Change the Type to 403 Save File - overwrite the one you opened Import the new...

    Another brand besides DJI drone

    I have a Typhoon H. Certainly a better aircraft than the DJI consumer models. I purchased it over a year ago and there has been a total of only ONE software update. The new H plus uses the exact same 1 inch sensor as the P4P. Because the camera rotates 360 degrees, there are many more shots...

    DJI security concerns

    I stopped buying DJI a year ago. The P4P+ was my last DJI product, even though I would love a new Mavic. The constant updates, the customer service hassles and the questionable security moved me to other brands. DJI uses their consumer base to test hardware and foster relationships with...

    Stay away from the Parrot Disco if you are thinking about buying it.

    When the priced dropped from $1200 to $399, I purchased 2! Love them. Great machines. Stays in the air so long you'll get tired of flying.
