To be sure it's the battery or use until a replacement arrives you could plug into the charging port.

Thank you, that was my point. I have no problem with the 200' altitude restriction for my area & as I mentioned, I rarely go above 150' but a private company deciding to make their own restrictions is wrong. If they wanted to enforce the FAA's regulations then limit my altitude to 200' for said...

Not happy about a private company or government playing nanny. If you wanted a full sized drone, comparable to a Mavic Pro then get the Autel EVO. Has a better camera & gimbal. American based company with local support. DJI syncs your data so they're basically able to see everything you do, in...

Meaning your home and/or auto I'm presuming. Insurance companies are funny (not haha funny) that way.

Sayville? You're close to me in West Bab. [emoji870]

Like in my case, I mentioned I purchased my 3rd drone, a previously owned MPP Fly More pkg for $800. And from what most are saying is if my bird became a fish or lost while searching in the woods they'd issue a check for the full amount because they wouldn't bother knowing what the drone alone...

Sucks they canceled you though. You paid to have the whole package covered? Was that the $60 plan I paid? If so, that's a hell of a deal, better than DJI's. I'm just concerned because I've heard too many suddenly losing power & falling from the sky. I fly over the Great South Bay form time to...

I've heard as far as NFZ's go, if you fly in one, or more appropriately around one & the RTH must cross through it that it won't. You'll get a message your RTH will cross a NFZ. So if the drone loses signal for some reason, it will hover & eventually just land & that could be a bad location such...

Some have gotten the insurance from State Farm which encouraged me to get it as well, $60 sounds like a great deal. But has anyone filed a claim yet? What is the amount they cover? I believe they pay for just the drone, not accessories. For example my drone was previously owned, I gave them the...

You could simply use a service such as TAGMYDRONE.COM or RECLAIMDRONE.COM which will obtain your FAA number for you, additionally they can also provide you with the stickers & ID card as well

Seems everyone is busy CYAing about VLOS as will I. However, hypothetically & theoretically yes, very possible. You should be sure the compass is calibrated whilst it's idling, drive to the secondary location, adjust your home point to the RC, confirm connection by video signal then in theory...

DJI rather than not allowing flight, if they want to be a nanny so bad, should just restrict altitude. I'm 4.8 miles from a small airport, the guides show 200' altitude so why not unlock my expensive toy & limit to that? And planes still fly way above the 200' here.

I don't want to add even a gram, I wouldn't care if it could carry a pumpkin, adding weight slows you down, puts stress on frame, extra wear on motors & cuts flight time

Where you live you don't get mail? Seriously, order online. Ebay, Amazon etc are better online.

Eventually the machines will take over! We already have robots building robots, drones & other machines with artificial intelligence, Terminator could become reality.
