    Has anyone registered their drone in Patong, Phuket, Thailand recently?

    Knowing which way your drone is facing from the app

    Also for you orientation. before taking off face you drone pointing north. Specially if your in a new place and don't know the area. I have a compass on my phone and always do this before I take off. helps to keep your bearings when flying somewhere new.

    Hi Marco. I lost my drone in a river last spring on a high river and was at first not able to recover it. I went back over the next 2 months watching as the river went down with no luck.

Unfortunately I activated it and flew it for 20 min or so to see if it is working ok. The question I have is, if I...

    Bringing but NOT flying in Thailand?

    I don't think it matters on the drone itself but the battery's need to be carry on or you will have a problem. I took all my stuff in a back pack and just took out the battery's and my electronic stuff when I went though customs. They don't seen to care about the drone itself..

    Post firmware update

    Best deal from Canada is alpine white combo from DJI. $999.00 you get 3 battery's. You need to add about 25% for US. conversion and you pay no GST or PST. And you deal direct with DJI. If you don't like white just buy a new skin for it,.

    Just got back from Beijing and Thailand

    Unless you know where to fly is hard to find a remote spot in Bangkok or Phuket.(Crazy busy) Somewhere on this site guys have posted the forms in English and Thai. Don't think you will have a problem bringing in a drone.
