    Phantom 4 Has Finally Arrived

    Got it about a week ago. Haven't taken it out to fly yet. I have been studying the User's Manual, watching videos on YouTube and collecting peripheral stuff. I got a case for it that seems pretty good. I got two extra batteries and a 3-battery charging hub. I got an iPad Mini and a sunshade...

    Yes, I already have viewed several Go4 app tutorials. You really have to have the drone itself in order to follow along on the tutorials, but I can still learn a lot from watching them. I'll have plenty of time - I'm off week after next. I live very close to the Rose Bowl, which is an...

    Developments. The company I ordered the P4 from was unable to deliver it. Wasted a solid week of my time. That order has been canceled and I have re-ordered it from Amazon (at some $30.00 less than the cost of it from the first outfit). Delivery by 12-13, says Amazon. We'll see . . . I have...

    The Phantom arrives tomorrow. I am going to take my time about flying it. Intend to read the manual, watch a lot of YouTube videos and get as familiar as possible with it before taking it out for first flight. In the meantime, I will continue to fly the Syma as much as possible.

    You're just a kid. I turned 78 a week ago, and I'm just taking up flying. Funny how life goes, isn't it?

    Holy Cow!

    In the first place, there is no LCD of any kind on my TX. There is just an on/off button with 2 joysticks, one on each side. I have a second, more powerful TX that I sent for that does have an LCD display on it, but I don't see anything in the LCD display that comes close to what you are...

    Funny - that's what my wife says.

    Holy Cow!

    Nervous time for just a moment. I paid an extra $39 for 2-day delivery. To me, that means two days from the date I place the order and pay the money. I placed the order on Thursday. Yesterday (Saturday) came and went and no drone. To make matters worse, I went to the Web site, and now it...

    Thanks. (I trust you are referring to the new drone, rather than the new wife. :))

    I know. It is a shame. But I think I have reached the limitations of the Syma based on the never-ending, strong winds in my area. After seeing what a Phantom 4 can do, I think I am making the best move. We'll see. Thanks for your continuing help and support.

    Holy Cow!

    OK, boys - after a LOT of YouTube video watching, I have opted for (and ordered) a refurbished Phantom 4 for $799. It should be delivered today. I plan to pick up an iPad mini for visual control, a sun shade, a couple of extra batteries, and a new wife. Mine is not very happy with my latest...

    Not sure what you are asking here or who you are asking.

    Holy Cow!

    I have been so busy checking out all of the recommendations here, that I haven't had time to thank all of you for making them. YouTube sure has a wealth of videos about drones, doesn't it? I have spent a lot of time watching drone videos and plan to continue in the future. My biggest fear is...

    Holy Cow!

    I talked to my son just now. It was a Phantom 4. I'm wondering what the difference is between a 3 and a 4? If there isn't that much, I may save a few bucks and pick up a 3. Know anything about that?
