    Altitude Question

    I just don't want it dropping 400ft off the cliffs or get attacked by Peregrine falcons. It will will be past their breeding season but might still be a issue.

    Altitude Question

    Thanks for the reply. I will hoof it to the top. I just wanted to be as close as possible to maintain contact with my Phantom 3. I'm still new at the whole drone thing. Flying out over the cliffs to get the ideal shot is making me extremely nervous.

    Altitude Question

    I want to shoot some video of a 100yr celebration on a local mountain. I can't fly my drone from the base of the cliffs to the summit without exceeding the 400ft limit. If I hike to the top how does the 400ft ceiling apply? If fly from the top I wI'll only need to fly maybe 50ft higher than the...

    Winds!

    Your app tells you wind speed? What do you fly?

    Drone crashes at Major League Baseball Game

    I'm new to drones. Every time I fly I search the area for people, pets, power lines. All the common sense things. Why? Because I'm terrified of hurting someone or busting something. I hope I never get so over confident in my abilities I lose that fear. I think it will be what keeps me from...

    Winds!

    I just got a Phantom 3 standard and I'm nervous fling in winds. When is wind to high for certain size crafts? Is there a cheap doohickey I can use to determine wind speeds? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Upair FPV trouble

    Well I figured out a fix for my fpv problem. I'm going to return the Upair, get my money back, spend a little extra and get a DJI Phantom 3.

    Upair FPV trouble

    I just bought a Upair One and it arrived today. I charged both batteries separately. Took it behind my house in a nice big field. Flew it around a little. Mostly practicing landing gently. In the middle of my third mini flight I lost video with the drone. All I get is static on my OSD. Drone...
