    DJI Care Plan

    Does anybody know if the DJI Care Plan cover fly aways of Drones? I see that it states that in the TOS it states that it doesnt cover stolen products. But how could DJI differentiate between a stolen product and a fly away? Maybe by looking at the flight logs? But that isnt 100% accurate as one...

    75 flights on Phantom 4. 75th flight, drone flew off and either crashed or just flew off into sky.

    I don't consider to be a novice at flying this craft, or using the DJI Go App. I really never had to use the flight record until now. All my flights show up fine on Healthy Drones site and Dji Go, except for this one ( It shows up in Japenese or Chinese text..where all my others were normal and...

    Sudden Erratic Flight

    Hi, While flying today, my Phantom 4 went from hovering to flying in somewhat fast and erratic, wide circles, bank heavily as it flew. It really took me by surprise because it's been rock solid up until now. The winds on the ground were calm, but I was flying close to 300 feet so it's possible...

I saw the logs and it flew for...

    First: Excuse me for my very bad grammer. Yesterday morning I made a video of the sun rising. I did not calibrate the compass because I did not change position more than 10 mile sins the last time I flew my supermachine. I took off and had the Phantom advanced at the same spot without moving...

    iOS9.... Almost A Fly Away

    Hi Folks, I recently bought a new iPhone 6S and have just taken it out to try with my P2V+. It took off fine, flew infront of me at about 150ft then all hell broke loose. It went off on its own at about a 10 o'clock direction at what looked like more that full speed. I thought it was a gonner...
