    Why does DJI allow you to change max altitude to 1640 ft?

    Because people keep quoting 107 as a reason for the 400' limit. Which is a law when flying under part 107 for Business or commercial use. For hobbyist part 107 doesn't come into play the 400' is a safety guideline not a law it's like a car driving instructor telling you to keep both hands on...

    Why does DJI allow you to change max altitude to 1640 ft?

    part 107 doesn't apply to hobbyist though. copied and paste I think a lot of people get mixed up on what are rules and what are guide lines. It seems to me that if you fly for Hobby then these are just safety guidelines FLY FOR FUN Safety Guidelines Fly at or below 400 feet Keep your UAS...

    How can I fly further than restricted area?

    I have flown my Phantoms at Slade Ky which the Red River Gouge is part of, be careful the 400 ft ceiling may not be enough. Some of the hills are 600 to 700 ft tall, the Mavic looks at where you take off from as "0" height if you are on top of a hill you will be ok but if you are down by the...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    Well I think they are pressured and needed to do something I ordered on the very first day of preorders from Drone World through Amazon. I think at this point they would be happy to just break even on some of the preorders to get some filled. Now I wonder how long it will take to get the rest of...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    I ordered the Fly More combo from Drone World on Sept. 27, 2016 (Through Amazon) I contacted them and they said they could send me the DJI Mavic PRO Portable Foldable Drone Kit (with Remote, 1 Battery, 16gb MicroSD & Charger) and send the rest latter. I took them up on that so now I got my...

    Trackimo Drone GPS Tracker with Drone attachment kit

    Yes it is very small and unlike the others that use GPS and you have a monthly fee it doesn't require any outside service that may not be available where it goes down and at ground level. I just suggest you research both types and both are common for use on other drones.

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    I ordered from Drone World through Amazon on Sept 27 no word from them at all about a shipping date. Can not even get some type of tracking number even though I already paid in full. Just some type of promises and a toy drone. The very least they could do would be to tell where you are in line...

    Trackimo Drone GPS Tracker with Drone attachment kit

    I use the Marco Polo Drone RF tracker because like someone said as long as your drone is powered up you will get a gps signal of its location and even if it is not your controller will have the GPS coordinates where it went down. The Marco Polo use RF and a directional antenna so there is no...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    I called Drone world and my order I placed on 9/27/2016 will now be delayed until the 2nd week of Dec. I told them I will have to think if I am going to cancel it and get a refund back. I called the Apple Store in Louisville Ky and they said no one has one in 250 miles and it will be in January...
