DJI's customer service is well know for being pretty poor. And you just confirmed it once again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't be afraid to build a drone as well. Kits are pretty cheap compared to a finished machine and knowing the components and how they interact will make you a better pilot. There is a lot to know about lipo batteries, radios, cameras, FPV systems etc. I would also recommend to read, read, and...

Really common. I have several sources that I use for things like that. Mainly "hobby king" but I haven't used them in a while though, They used to have the main warehouse in Hong Kong but they branched out and had warehouses in the US, EU etc and it was fast and easy to get what you needed. I'm...

Yes, I commented on another post about it. As usual DJI brought out their latest product with lots of fanfare. Its undeniable that they put out some pretty good stuff but I believe this one is aimed at a different kind of user so we will have to wait to see how successful it is.

I have watched the reviews and its just a selfie drone. Anyone serious about drones for photography or other applications wouldn't give it a second look. I do believe it will be one of the best selfie drones out there but alas, its still just a selfie drone. HD not UHD camera, 2 axis gimbal...

Ask your company to loosen up on the purse strings a little. A $200 budget isn't enough. If they are serious then they should buy a reliable drone that you can use. They may want to consider a used phantom if they are being cheap but it will be more than $200. Your looking for a drone with a...

Thanks! Very helpful.

Well I don't know anything about that charger but it should have a few settings on it that you need to choose to set it up correctly. lipo cells voltage run from 3.7vdc (nominal) to 4.2 vdc fully charged. A 4S battery is that voltage times 4 so it should run between14.8vdc (needs charging) and...

Here's a quick video I made with my new Mavic. Its a very nice drone with a lot of useful features.

$680? Dang, I thought they were cheaper than that. Still a good choice. I am interested if others out there have other suggestions. There is one called Autel that gets decent ratings as well for about the same price.

I finally received my DJI Mavic Pro today! There were some issues with it being on backorder but they have been straightened out and I am now charging the battery's and will do firmware updates soon. Thanks to the Drone Vibes community and Admin for this great prize! Looking forward to using...

You can pick up used P3's on craigslist or even buy one new for a reasonable price, They are very affordable, fly great and take good video. They are no longer supported by DJI but I would think parts are common and available. A step down from that price range wont get you very much when it...

I haven't tried dronedeploy yet but I have watched a few you tube videos on it. It looks like a great program. A bit spendy for me right now for the cheapest subscription but still very cool.

Guess I'm not familiar enough with the P4 then. To me the press release read like it had a lot more like a screen and more sensors.

Looks like its definitely an upgrade from the p4 pro. I think I would be a little bummed out if I just bought the pro cause this one has better features.

I would also like more details on this. lithium polymer batteries are available in an array of sizes and I always thought this could be easily accomplished.

I haven't seen much about the spark but if there is an attempt to hype its before it release its not very effective. I saw a leaked photo or something but not much else. My understanding was that it was just a selfie drone, Plenty of those around already.

I hear you. I have worked 12 hour shifts for longer than I care to remember. Whenever I get focused on a new hobby my wife knows she wont see me for at least a month.

Lol! Clearly you have too much time on your hands. I was thinking the prop wash would take care of it if it was a small stick.

Lots to digest there. I haven't screwed around with my Naza in a while. It could be a windows 10 problem. I have had comm port problems with another component (gimbal) and it drove me nuts. When I commissioned a new craft I always had everything hooked up and connected like it was ready to fly...
