    I swallowed my pride and got an iPad.

    I picked up a cheap Huawei media pad from Walmart ($130) and it is still better than any phone or tablet I've used (many of each) over 3 years of DJI products. I love this thing, and am now a Huawei fan.

    New DJI Flight Simulator

    OMG. I can't believe how stupid that was. Nowhere did I see a mention of opening that file. Thank you so much Kloogee!

    New DJI Flight Simulator

    If anyone finds a solution to the MA controller issue, please post. Tried everything including drivers, different cables, and different computers. Nothing.

    How many times do you have to calibrate the compass?

    I have a warning about obstacle avoidance sensors needing calibration but haven't been able to get that working in assistant. It worked once when I first got it but never since. I've tried every suggestion I could find in forums. And there have been no changes to the computer I first...

    My run-in with a security guard! (And other happy stories)

    I fly responsibly in a small Upstate NY City. The Mayor, PD and FD all know me through covering events around town and welcome me to fly anywhere. A lot of times I position myself near authorities at events, and they end up watching the monitor with me. I stay around the perimeters of...

    Pros and Cons of using Litchi!

    Wasn't me. I I think it was ambarcoor looking for help. I thought the "where do you live?" was directed to me. Sorry

    Pros and Cons of using Litchi!

    The only con I can think of is lack of DJI warranty support (which could be a deal-killer for some). I started using Litchi with a P3S over a year ago, and I became more comfortable with, and dependant on Litchi vs Go. It's part comfort with layout, lack of failures, and versatility (waypoint...

    THIS WAS A GOOD FORUM UNTIL THE ( MOD REMOVED ) AIR CAME ALONG

    I have all three. I now fly the spark for scouting shots and planning. I use the Air for higher quality shooting, and the Pro holds a spot on my shelf while waiting to see what the Pro 2 offers. If it's nothing more than I can do with the Air, I'll keep the original on the shelf for a...
