    Canada's new laws really suck! Thankfully I live in the US.

    Try app called UAV forecast. It has a MAP section that shows airports. You need to set it up for 9km.

    Canada's new laws really suck! Thankfully I live in the US.

    A lot of people may not be aware of the new rules yet. I talkedwith 3 p3 owners last summer that I came across while they were flying. Non of them had heard of this forum. I asked if they had seen the new proposed rules. Same thing. None had a clue.

    Is that decrease in mAh too big for 6 cycles?

    With 21 minutes of flight time I would not worry. That is excellent time. Especially in that weather.

    Is that decrease in mAh too big for 6 cycles?

    No. What I am saying is my only flying it down to 50% was not because I knew that I should, But because my hands were getting cold. I the cold weather I charged my batterys inside. Put it in the AC and flew right away. They did not show less MHA. Now if you let the battery sit there and get cold...

    Is that decrease in mAh too big for 6 cycles?

    Started flying in Feb. in Canada. It was cold. That is likely the biggest reason I stopped at 50% battery. Hands were frozen. If the OP does a deep cycle, he may find the MAH's come back up. Here was my original battery at 35 charges. HealthyDrones.com - Innovative flight data analysis that...

    Is that decrease in mAh too big for 6 cycles?

    Both of my batterys went up at first. To 4515mah. Then they started down. I think going up at first is normal. But experiences vary. I never fly below 50% on the first 8-10 charges.

    Noob advice

    Use a version of Go APP that is compatable with FW 1.4. Never update firmware to get rid of a problem that wasn't caused by a firmware update in the first place. You could just create a second problem but not know it. Someone with 1.4 tell please tell him what Go App to use. Then like someone...

    Are they really blaming it on a drone?

    They are saying it was about 3 meters wide. That's not any drone I know of. Do the planes and tower not have radar?

    I thought they said it was a balloon.

    Use box it came in as carrying case, or something different?

    A box is fine if you fly from the trunk of your car. But if you want to park and walk in somewhere you are going to want a backpack.

    Company Uses Drone for Home Security

    Amazon will push this thru and the rest will follow. (my 2 cents)

    taking photos while video is on

    One would not think it would be that difficult for DJI to implement an auto return to video recording. It could be a menu option. If recording video and still image button is pressed. Take the picture and restart video recording.

    The message in your picture is Low Power. Not to be confused with Low Battery. Low power is when it has reach the safe power level to return home. Low battery is an adjustable warning setting. Default is 30%. It is a warning only. It is possible to reach both points at the same time. It just...
