Just in case, here is the one which darwin-t linked me to. I can fully vouch for it. After replacing my cracked one, I went from picking up zero GPS sats to as many as 13 (as of this weekend).
Thanks very much for this and the previous links. I have already ordered the carbon fiber camera guard, but am bookmarking the one you linked from Etsy for future reference in case I need to replace or have a spare. I have also ordered the battery contact cleaner and the flight keychains. I...
My wife shot some photos of me flying my "Amelia" yesterday. :D

After a long day of flying:
I'm unfamiliar with the "camera guard". Could you elaborate?
As for the zip ties, I have to say I agree in that they feel stronger than the pins. I just finished installing the pins I received yesterday. They appear to be after-market and not made by DJI (though still came from China so who...

I'm sorry for your loss but you appear to have bought into a thing you couldn't afford to keep up with. For the time being, I can afford it. I'm cool with it.
Not the laser, that RF failover beam, which is in continuous operation in case the laser is disrupted somehow. It is a pretty intensely focused transmission source and I was incredibly careless in forgetting about it and flying so near it. But, I just wanted that great shot of a nearby clock...
Some advice given to me a long time ago has influenced many of my economic decisions:
"If you can't afford to order the most expensive thing on the menu, you're in the wrong restaurant."
I knew there would be crashes. I simply didn't expect it to be so soon or so damaging. That lesson cost...
I can assure you, 100 feet up may even be an overestimate. This took place in the business plaza where my office resides. I was controlling the Phantom from atop the parking garage, which is only two levels up from street level in front, and 3 in back, where the Phantom was flying. My...
