I recently bought a second controller used on ebay hoping to have my wife co-pilot a little bit. I very much doubt one of the controllers I now own is a knock-off, but have noticed a few differences and I wanted to know what was considered "normal." I bought both controllers on ebay used, but...

So what happened to this company? Everything is unavailable on Amazon and their site is unusable...

Are there any active meetups around Hartford?

So I had my first flight yesterday evening! No drama, just sharing my excitement. I was on vacation and my package was left by my door on Saturday and I didn't get home until Monday evening, so I was a bit nervous someone would snatch the package but it was all ok. I charged everything up (the...

So the agent told me I might as well add other things of value I own into the policy because the drone is *relatively* inexpensive. I listed out some camera equipment, jewelry, and musical instruments which I sent to him with their value and he told me everything combined could be covered for...

I'm in CT and am working with Dow Cote, based on the file in the original post . He seems nice and had no qualms at all when I said I wanted to insure a drone. The file said the premium was $50 but Dow said about 6 months ago it went up to a minimum of $60. My drone is used - I purchased it...

Thanks everyone! Right now I'm just reading up on the regulations before I get my drone, and it's a lot more than I ever imagined it would be! Luckily, my state seems pretty lenient regarding the laws, and basically says no city can make their own rules. Unfortunately, the good places to fly...

Awesome, it's good to have a definitive answer. So I guess the only thing that's a bummer is that I plan on using the Phantom 4 charger with the Advanced Charging Hub, so I won't be able to charge my remote at the same time as my batteries. Or... can you just charge the remote with a standard 5V...

Excellent, thank you so much for the response! Just to be clear for question 3, I was asking if the current running though the Mavic Pro charger via the Phantom 4 AC cable would be a safe amount - not if they could be charged at the same time. But still good to know! And based on your answer to...

Hi, I'm completely new to drones and have a Mavic Pro coming in the mail, so I want to get some answers to prepare everything and be up and learning to fly ASAP. I bought it used, and it didn't come with the AC cable for the charger, so I figured I'd go all out and buy the Phantom 4 charger+AC...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd check in here before anything else. I recently purchased a Mavic and found there were a lot of awesome resources like meetups and other information on here. I hope to be a good contributor to the forums, and learn as much as I can in the process.
