    New battery counterfeit or have DJI started cheaping out? (pics)

    I had purchased an aftermarket battery that fits the same way. Does not seem to click in like the originals.

    Is the Mavic Air really that good? A photographer's opinion.

    I think the main key here is the ease of transport. Not so much an issue for a photographer who is hauling along a bunch of equipment as it is, but rather the weekender who wants to have a sky camera with him when he goes to his cabin or lake. The other draw is the speed which will be appealing...

    Well, my friend crashed my drone

    Man that sucks. It reminds me of a time about 30 years ago when I let my friend drive my slot car I had since the early 60's. It was a race winner and very fast for it's day. My friend had never driven one before, and proceeded to smash it into a wall. That was the end of that as the magnesium...

    P4 Advanced Crashed and Lost! Is it Traceable?

    There was a recent video on one Mavic saving another from a tree. He ran a length of rope down with a hook on the end. Hovered above it, hooked it and pulled it out of the tree. The control was a bit weird with the extra weight but he was able to do it.

    Terrified newbie

    Perhaps you did not have the multi position option checked in the go app, letting you use either GPS in position one or the pilot mode in position 2.I think these are set as a default however. In position one the drone should have just hovered there when you let go of the sticks. If you were...

    Flying in CT

    Hello from Fairfield county CT. Just got my first Phantom and was wondering if there was a list of places in Fairfield CT to fly without getting arrested. I know about the airfield at Sherwood Island but these guy's are RC plane pilots and I'm sure would not appreciate a quadcopter hovering in...

    Buying a refurbished phantom pro.

    I bought a new Phantom 3 standard off ebay a few weeks back from a woman that was selling it to raise money for a soup kitchen. I suppose it was a donation or something like that. Anyway it was 410.00 and factory sealed as it was supposed to be. Flys great but had to calibrate the IMU before it...
