    Drone shot at today!

    There are plenty of reasons to question the shooter's judgement from your actual experience. This picture is not one of them.

    5P has that crazy Air 3S RTH under trees, through buildings

    I had the OA off, but I think it's automatically enabled during RTH (think I read that in the manual, I'll go back and look), regardless of setting. Yeah, was carefully monitoring, and after watching it twitch around and shift L/R trying to figure it out I finally canceled and just brought it...

    It is, of course, your choice to be rude and insulting to an entire class of people. We have members of the forum that are Sherriffs Deputies. Seems rather uncivil to engage in such casual bigotry in a community that values polite behavior.

    US government abandons plan to blacklist Chinese-made drones

    I expect that if things go well at the summit in April, and they will because that's what Trump and the Republicans need, all this DJI crap will end.

    That was unnecessary, and not something you could possibly know across thousands of deputies across the US. Shame on you.

    5P has that crazy Air 3S RTH under trees, through buildings

    Except I couldn't get it to fly back through a sliding glass door on return after taking off from the coffee table. Too narrow, I presume. it just stopped there and refused to go through on RTH.

    What is your light set-up? Here's mine:

    Thanks @BossBob. Interesting differences... Appears the CAA does not require prop protection for flying a mini over people, sparsely distributed. They FAA requires fully protected, enclosed props. Also different is it appears no class is authorized to fly over crowds. The FAA allows this, again...

    .TXT file from the RC. If you used an N2 then it will be on your phone. The PhantomHelp site has the detailed instructions.

    DJI getting lazier and lazier with manuals

    A lot of features not covered in the manual any more. Camera in particular. Any documentation anyone knows about for all the shooting features, like the new custom pano? Or are we supposed to figure this out while in flight? It's not complicated or difficult... but I'm one that always feels...

    5P has that crazy Air 3S RTH under trees, through buildings

    I was quite impressed at how it duplicated on return the outbound path low to the ground through a corridor with the house on one side and trees/bushes on the other, maybe 10 feet wide. Then, of course, sliding under the patio roof and landing on the table was amazing. While all this working...

    What is your light set-up? Here's mine:

    US pilot here... Do the CAA and EASA rules allow sub 250g drones to fly over people without prop cages? Not allowed in the US. The Neo line are drones that are compliant with requirements for people overflight out of the box in the US. None of the minis are.

    I agree, and won't be using it. I wanted to see if it was there, and was quite impressed seeing it work.
