I’m still trying to figure out why in the hell we tolerate this b*llsh*t in the first place. Why do we have to ask permission to fly a $2K piece of hardware, and even more enraging, we ask permission FROM THE PEOPLE WE GAVE THE $2K TO. If the company that I bought the **** thing from decides I...

Thanks Thomas, me too.

Welcome to my world?

Backstory is in original thread. Link above.

The first one, red sticker/already opened/etc. Was sold and shipped by Amazon. That’s why there was to be such a delay getting a replacement. Amazon’s stock dropped the weekend after Xmas and the replacement had to come from their stock. And I was absolutely irate at the beginning of this...

It’s great footage of a beautiful place. (Where is that by the way?) Your gimbal work while flying was pretty good too. it’s long enough, and varied enough for a couple of transitions to make it an even more dynamic clip. Well done.?

[ From the OP]. Guys, once again, my beef was with Amazon not with the great people I‘ve already met here. Wasn’t trying to start an argument amongst kind folks who stopped and took time to comment and/or offer advice on my situation. Thanks to everyone, now let’s go fly?
