But you did not visually see the drone at the time, correct? So you could not say you definitive say that there were no waves anywhere around the drone based on your own view?

First question: What did you visually see as the action of the drone during the flight, that is visually without the aid of your controller screen? That should be a big help.

For the OP, perhaps you could explain what you visually saw as to the drone's performance at the time, the conditions of the waves, and the actual height of the drone above the water, all without looking the controller or information from the controller. After all, that is required for VLOS...

Nothing wrong with warm beer as long as it's good quality, Most beers lack flavor and the only way to make them palatable is is to drink them cold so the taste buds don't work. So, make your own beer with the best ingredients and recipe.

What is your definition of overheating? Is it a specific temperature?

I never stated that it was not about cheapness, only that cheapness was not cause. One can safely fly in ATTI mode even indoors without GPS. Safety required a well-trained pilot. Those flying the really low price drones are likely not well trained and lack good flying skills; that has a big...

Drones without GPS will make a difference. It's not the cheapness itself which is the issue. It's about features and capabilities drone and pilot, not about price.

It doesn't take a lot of research on this forum to find expensive GPS drones with flyaway, drifting, and not returning to home, and these are expensive drones. So I see not direct cause of those issues being related to being cheap drones.

Do you have data to support your claim that cheap drones fly away, drift, and don't return to home?

With Care Refresh paid program you send your damaged drone to DJI and DJI provides a generally refurbished within days; a fly away drone is also replaced, for a fee. As far as I know there is no equivalent paid service from any other company in the United States. You may purchase a liability or...

Well, these carriers are for-profit businesses and should be expected to profit from all aspects of their businesses. Users expect to pay a fee for the services provided by the carriers. I suppose own could eliminate the carrier customs process fee by using regular postal service for shipping...

Are your Phantom V2 and Mavic 2 Pro working oK and serving your purpose OK? If so, just enjoy what your have and keep using them. If you really do require a new drone, just look for the best online deal (not from DJI direct) and pay whatever you need to get a new drone; you have no bargaining...

What was the actual documentation on the shipping packing list?

I've been very happy with the print quality I get from Walgreens. Do you have information that their print quality is not good?

Walgreens does more than just small prints. Check the web site if you really want to know what they offer.
