All I can say is WOW what a huge leap forward in technology!

I have State Farm and I use their Personal Article Insurance. Super affordable, $60/Year. It does not cover damage, it only covers a total loss. I did look for the drone, but quickly gave up because of the super rough terrain. I just got call from the adjuster and they are cutting me a check...

Family took a trip up to Northern Idaho for some R&R and of course I had to bring the drone along to take pictures of the awesome wilderness. On our last day there (last Friday) we visited some of the hot springs and there was a beautiful river with some majestic scenery that I just had to...

Very cool picture!

isn't 400 ft just a guideline? I didn't think that hobbyist were restricted to any altitude?

Actually ignorance of the law isn't protection from it UNLESS you are the ones in charge of enforcing the law, then all bets are off. Learned from experience.

Glad that I could help!

One thing to note is that when you have your phone connected to the remote controller and you are "entering the aircraft", make sure that you are selecting "WIRED CONNECTION". I had a friend of mine try to fly mine and I wasn't paying much attention, but he walked over and said that he could...

Hillbilly, I would recommend getting "Personal Article" insurance for it as soon as you can. I got mine through State Farm for $60/year and it covers full replacement. I can't tell you how much more peace of mind I have and I don't hesitate nearly as much to try to get difficult shots over...

Before I picked up the Air (had the Phantom 3 Advanced before) I heard all of the horror stories about the wifi and how it sucked and if you basically get beyond arms length that it was going to lose connection and fly away and kill some baby seals blah blah blah. I watched some videos (not...

Just a question, but why not just get Personal Article insurance and be done with it? I insured mine through State Farm for $60/year. Now if it drops in the water (where I fly quite a bit as well) I just report it and them collect the check and pick out my new drone and I don't have to wait...

One thing that strikes me as I look at that picture that I guess I never really noticed before is how much the MA front props actually sweep over the body of the drone. I love the size of it for certain, but it seems that a lot of efficiency is lost because of that. The 2 beside it doesn't...

I guess what I'm trying to say is it might be reading as 0% but it's probably not actually at true zero because it has a built-in safety margin. I am pretty sure that I read even somewhere on DJI's paperwork to fully charge and then fully discharge the batteries to keep them in the best...

I am pretty sure that there is programming built in to not allow the batteries to be discharged during normal usage below the safety margin which would damage the batteries. I am somewhat of a flashaholic and almost every reputable 18650 battery that I have used has a safety margin built in...

I was in the same boat as you, but I actually had the Phantom 4. Loved the controls, battery life, capabilities, camera etc, but anytime I wanted to go anywhere with it, I basically had to lug around a carry-on size suitcase with me. I got the MA earlier this year and never looked back. Now...
