    DJI discontinues Phantom series!

    What I meant was update any license to use them from a map provider like mapbox etc. As for the rest of your reply, thanks for the info, even if it was delivered in a somewhat snotty and condescending manner.

    DJI discontinues Phantom series!

    Wonder what will happen to support for the Phantom series in the future? I still have a Phantom 3 Standard which I sometimes fly. Will DJI still update the maps for the DJI Go App or allow connection to satellites for GPS mode? I guess both things cost DJI money under some sort of licence.

    How to export and upload to YouTube in immaculate quality?

    Hi, I get what you say earlier in the thread about keeping the bitrate to some low value so Youtube doesn't re-encode and lose quality, but are you sure about 10Mbps? From Youtube's own website linked below, it recommends 53-68Mbps bitrate for 4k: Recommended upload encoding settings - YouTube...

    AIR SCARE Notorious ‘drone-modding’ gangsters giving away hacked apps that let drones fly over ANY airport.

    Hi, Is the nolimitsdrone program free? I couldn't work out from their website if payment was necessary. Also, the program was detected as 'decompression bomb' malware in Avast, although I think this is a false positive since in other online scanners it came up clean..

    Missing drone, DJI service is hopeless

    Thanks. It's so cheap, it's tempting to buy one to test it out. It advertises itself as a spying device to eg track and voice record a cheating spouse etc

    Missing drone, DJI service is hopeless

    Just out of interest, would a cheap $10 tracker like this be suitable for attaching to a drone and locating it in the event of a crash? It claims you can "track and map (with Google Maps) in real-time over the Internet". Magnetic Mini GPS Tracker Car Spy GSM GPRS Real Time Tracking Locator...

    More about Gatwick Airport Terrorists

    Yes, it's puzzling there weren't more videos or pictures of the drones from members of the public. Here's a video of a drone some distance away (not the Gatwick drone), taken with an Iphone. It's not that hard to do and is better quality than the specks in the sky we've seen so far, which for...

    Hand catching safely

    Every time I've tried to hand catch with the sensors on, it won't allow it. The sensors detect your hand, and it moves away.

    Peculiar fly-away

    Hi, just out of interest, why would disabling OA have helped?

    mavic Pro just fell out of sky from around 15- 20 feet . happened the second time.

    Looks like it did a lot of spinning before crashing. Did you calibrate the compass for the new area before flying?

    I have made a mistake,please help me rectify it.

    I recently flew both the Pro and the Air for the first time. Video quality was about equal. For me the Air is better due to being smaller and easier to carry around. As they say, the best drone is the one you have with you.
