Good lesson.. In many ways here JR. our "hero" violates many laws ( If it was a dji he was using a camera equipped drone to fish in Florida ( Not Legal in that State !!!). To punish himself JR then attempts a hand landing that goes terribly wrong. ( but probably a little humorous for those who...

DJI would have sent you a refurb (as good as a brand new drone) for half price! If my business was repairing drones I would highly recommend my service against DJI's as well. He gave you a used gimbal. gimbals are very sensative but unless you pinched it and held it tight while it initiated...

If you don't register the drone then the RID number CANNOT be traced back to you. Its not like the drone somehow displays its purchase info. However the number will be displayed SO I suppose if they somehow took your drone read its RID number thru an application and then checked all rid numbers...

Was this a DJI repair? I own an Air 2s that should have given out a year ago from overuse IT will not die. Gimbals are tricky and other than just replacing the whole thing I tend to pass and refer the person to DJI. If this was NOT a dji repair perhaps the person did not run the calibration...

As long as you DO NOT tape your wallet to your drone you wont be tracked lol. The RID number your drone transmits is simply that- A number BUT now what they CAN do is prove you are a repeat offender and therefore deserving of the FAA's STEEEEP fines, simply by putting your RID number into a...

Very nice! your gonna love it!

I would post the log, and read post 30 I agree with the tripod mode comm? I forgot about the vid sorry. The antenna could have been loosened when the Drone crashed. NOW remember-!! that the antenna wires run through the front arms of the drone.is one of those damaged as well. These drones can...

Refurbished from DJI is a very good deal they double check them before they are shipped so kinda Better than new. Best Buy repaired, YES STAY FAR AWAY!!

You can find quite a few on ebay- Most of them are around 35 U.S.

Ping anytime you like! That is a possibility Sure BUT you do have an arm problem that needs attention. It is very possible that interference may be the cause this particular problem however the most obvious explanation usually ends up solving the problem. Not having been there and not seeing...

YES they are essentially the same drone.

You have to be careful too much heat will lift the pad. Thats the Best soldering iron for drones! IMO

Could be -Its kind of like having a wobbly tire on your car...Sort of. The drones pid has to over work the three other motors to keep the drone from pulling in the broken arms "new thrustlines" direction. it only needs to be off by a hair or so. It can be very subtle or not. If the drone is...

Thanks for the video. YEP There's the problem you need to replace all the cracked plastic parts with new and your drone will fly like new! Not sure why it would just go completely crazy in the air as you describe but stranger things have happened. I would not fly the drone any longer it could...

The alientech boosters are nice if you want to install it. Don't forget your lanyard!
