    Scammers

    I have seen a lot of private emails on here with generic offerings to buy "your item" and a quick google search invariably turns up a scammer. I hate these POS types... Beware of it! Google this persons email address. [email protected] Scams

    Yup...for a day! We were at Lake Powell in AZ/UT...sunny, warm, and dry. It would power up but never would connect to the controller.

    Arizona. It looks like a brand new drone. DJI has it right now so no current photos. It descended slowly into the water. The blades were not even damaged!!

    What's it worth.---submerged drone

    I got a quote back on my submarined drone. I am thinking of just buying a new or refurbed and selling the soaked drone. Are they of any value? It went down in fresh water and was in the water less than 5 minutes. I sold an early version of the Mavic after I backed into a tree. It was pretty...

    No submarine mode? Into the drink...

    The last words I said to my brother before he grabbed the remote to my drone was "don't crash it...or you bought it". He flew it for a few minutes and then put in the shallows of a fresh water lake. Maybe I should not have said anything. He has a Mavic but not much experience with them. I didn't...

    Unnaceptable flying.

    Irresponsible flying will lead to more and more restrictive legislation on these things. Transponders are coming and right behind them is stiff penalties for careless operations. The community...mostly the outliers...will be solely responsible for it. The future may be that DJI or any other...

    Has Anyone Actually Contacted an Airport to Fly Within 5 miles?

    I call the CT and tell them the basics of what I am doing and that I will be mindful of any traffic. I usually give the bearing and distance FROM the airport. Usual response "uhh....ok". By the way, I fly for a living and the threat of these things is growing based on people not adhering to some...
