Welcome from Newport Beach

What part of Newfoundland are you going to? I grew up there. Be very wary of the weather/wind. Like they say “in Newfoundland, if you don’t like the weather, wait 10 minutes”. If any of the bergs come into some of the sounds or inlets, that might be a better bet than trying to do it on the open...

First flight was a success. (First time trying to post a link - hope it works). Got a few minutes of mini 2 footage from my maiden flight today. You guys weren’t kidding. Very impressed. I’d have to say first thoughts are that it beats the mavic pro and P3 pro so far.

I hope this doesn’t violate any forum rules but I’m kind of in a bind. I recently lost my job and have been unemployed since the beginning of October. I just secured a new position but it isn’t set to start until January. I’m desperately seeking to pick up a few small projects with my drones...

I have the horizon tilt “lag” when yawing left or right. I also have litchi so will try to test it today and report back.

I have a phantom 3 professional that is on the latest firmware version. Has been updated on nearly every version and never really had any issues. I purchased a Mavic Pro when they first came out so the Phantom is getting less use. On the last few flights I've been having a problem with the...

Badass Scientists Use Drone To Rescue Man Trapped By Hawaiian Lava Flow

Anyone know if Statefarm (or any insurance company) is offering these policies in California yet?

Wow. It rusted that much? Good to know. I live 50 yards from the beach. Going to add a new wipe down routine from here on out.
