    Anyone Stopped from getting on Airplane by TSA?

    Just went to Puerto Vallarta Mexico last week. Total of 5 security checkpoints including US and Mexican Customs. Nobody asked about it or looked at it.

    Anyone getting a constant obstical avoidence alert when flying???

    Flying in Mexico a few days ago over the ocean at sunset. It was twilight time. On my way back to home to end my flight I had three episodes of obstacle avoidance. I was at about 90 feet over an open bay flying in a southwest direction. It was weird. Initially thought there may have a bird cross...

    Nonsense From DJI Tech Support

    After presenting my case they agreed to take the good but non-functional battery for testing with a disclaimer they were probably going to charge me for correcting the firmware. Does that mean every time there is a firmware missmatch from update failure, like will occur if your internet...

    Nonsense From DJI Tech Support

    I’m sure it’s whichever’s less. However, the battery was in perfect condition until the firmware issue happened. That was 3 hours earlier so it’s not the battery. It’s the firmware. IMHO

    Nonsense From DJI Tech Support

    Spoke with Tech Support today. Eight month old battery works perfectly while I fly for an hour. Three hours later do firmware update which fails for some reason. Out to dinner. Come home and retry the update. Suddenly get error message. Battery starts flashing 2 center lights on and off. Tried...

    Help With Battery Error

    Any other suggestions from anyone? Is this battery toast? Hard to believe for just a firmware mismatch.

    Help With Battery Error

    I assume you mean plug the usb cable into the powered up controller, then my iPad, turn on go4 app,then attempt to turn on the battery in question while in the aircraft. Correct? That does nothing. Battery lights unaffected.

    Help With Battery Error

    Have reviewed all the treads on this problem. None of the suggestions have worked just yet. Any new suggestions would be appreciated. Firmware error with different versions caused the battery error, identified by the 2 center lights constantly on. That was 2 weeks ago. The battery will not power...

    What the hey battery

    Got it. Thanks. That's exactly what happened to me. Nice of DJI to inform us of that error in the manual. Studied it for quite a while. Ugh!

    What the hey battery

    Have 4 batteries. Placed 3 on charger after they have been setting for about 3-4 weeks and spontaneous discharged to two light level. Checked back about 4 hours later. Two batteries charged and one is stuck with the 2 center lights on. It won't turn on. It won't turn off. Just stuck with the 2...

    Polar Pro and Amazon. No No No

    Ok as a non-professional who shoots professional quality photos I'll bag the "Professional Series" filters and go with the "Cinema Series" . Hope everyone else out there is clear on this. If you want professional don't go with professional! Thanks for your help with this.

    Polar Pro and Amazon. No No No

    Ok so I have not yet heard the exact difference in the Professional series and the Cinema series and why a professional would buy the Cinema series over the Professional series. Marketing gimmick or real difference??

    Polar Pro and Amazon. No No No

    So it's a little confusing and misleading. Maybe Jeff from PP can weigh in here. Would a "professional photographer" purchase the "Professional Series" or the "Cinema Series". Well possibly either but when both series were not available to review you can't know which one to choose. Seems like...

    Polar Pro and Amazon. No No No

    Looks like I made a mistake. Duh! Did not realize PP made 2 different 6 pack series. On PP site they now have 6 pack professional and 6 pack cinema. Not sure what the actual difference is. Assume the cinema series are higher quality but can't tell from the site. Looking for the highest quality...
