You generally can't do it because the typical drone video is too large. However, there is this Web site: wetransfer.com, that permits you to send large files to others (up to 2GB) using their email address. And, it's FREE! You do everything on their Web site; no need to download anything onto...

The Los Angeles Times this morning is reporting that a possible cause of the SCUBA diving boat disaster off of the California coast was a lithhium battery. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-09-05/what-caused-fire-aboard-the-conception

Is it possible to combine two (or more) Intelligent Flight modes at the same time? For example, can you set your quad to fly POI and also put it on Tripod? Or set it for Tripod and Straight Line flight at the same time?

What is the life-span of a LiPo battery for a Phantom 4? I have had mine for 21 1/2 years with very little use. I charged them the other day after a long layoff, and it took almost three days for them to reach full charge. Are they on their way out? Or was it just the long layoff?

I recently drove into the Southern California city of Laguna Beach. As you enter the city, there is an electronic sign that flashes (among other things): "Drone flying prohibited over beaches and parks." I realize that a city such as this can enact an ordinance like this. Heck, they could...

We are staying at our timeshare at the Marriott Newport Coast Resort. I went out in the parking area and launched the quad. Within 15 seconds, one of the groundskeepers came up to me and told me I would have to bring it down. I asked him to call his supervisor, which he did. In a minute or...

Most of you guys probably know this already but for those who don't, I hope it is helpful. It sure helped me once I discovered it. So you're flying your quad and you decide to get a little daring. Let's fly the sucker out of sight and then bring her home. How far away can we go? Well, you...

So I'm sitting on my front porch, running my quad up and down the street and here and there around the neighborhood when the devil got into me. I brought it back to my driveway and then flew it across the street and into Woody's back yard. I had it hover there at window height and rotated it...

I notice height is displayed in meters in my app. Can it be set so that height is displayed in feet or yards? If so, how?

Well, I did it. Yesterday, I decided to go up to the Rose Bowl for the first time to do a little flying up there. There is a large, grassy area just to the east of the Rose Bowl where people often fly quads and other RC aircraft. I drove by, but didn't like it, so I kept moving. Where to go...

We ventured a little farther afield today, i.e., I lost sight of the sucker. (Shhhhhh ...) I knew I was going to - that was the idea. I figured when I wanted to bring her home, all I would have to do would be to execute a 180, using the camera and known landmarks, and move out on a straight...

I use an iPad Mini with my remote controller. Now, Apple wants me to update the IOS on the iPad Mini. I also use the DJI Go app, of course. If I update the IOS on the iPad Mini, will the DJI Go app still operate properly?

Here it is, boys! My second POI video with my Phantom 4. Edited, music added - not too shabby, hey? And NO COPS. Easy peasy. Next on my hit list - Pasadena City Hall!

No, I didn't lose my quad, but I don't INTEND on losing it either, so here comes this thread on finding lost quads. What is the best device for locating a lost quad? I know they vary. I have an app on my iPhone called FindMyDrone, but it is very hard to figure out how to use it and it...

California Civil Code, 1708.8: (a) A person is liable for physical invasion of privacy when the person knowingly enters onto the land or into the airspace above the land of another person without permission or otherwise commits a trespass in order to capture any type of visual image, sound...

Yesterday, I flew a Point of Interest flight around my house. Prior to making the flight, I attempted to enable Multiple Flight Mode but could not do it because I only tapped on the switch, I didn't drag it. So, I took off without enabling Multiple Flight Mode. Everything went fine - which...

When you use auto-takeoff and the quad is hovering, after a few seconds, it will establish its home point and the screen will tell you that. Then, you can use RTH to get back to that same spot. I get that. Is there any way to establish a NEW home point during the same flight? In other words...

WTF? I upload a pic to Photobucket and then copy the URL for the photo off of Photobucket. I open up a post here and hit the Media button. It asks me to paste the URL into the field. I do it and hit Embed. Then I get this message: "The Specified URL Cannot be Embedded as Media." That's the...

I want to get some colored props for my Phantom 4. Outside of making sure the props I purchase are the same specifications as the props I now have (11g with a diameter and screw pitch of 9.45 x 5 inches), is there anything else I need to attend to or think about in order to avoid a balance...

The recent problems I have been having with choppy or jerky videos, have prompted me to consider gimbal operation and the function of the gimbal. I'm very new to all this, so please put up with a really basic question: I think I have figured out the difference between a 2-axis and a 3-axis...
