My suggestion is to simply use your best judgement. Here's my first attempt over water. I am on shore while my father in law tows my son. VPS was on and during the shooting, I simply used my best judgement. 5 to 10 feet over water at 20 MPH is **** scary and leaves very little room for...

Battery PORN ;)

First - really happy you're flying again. Regarding you're altitude, wow. I'm not sure if the reading is from the sonar or GPS. Regardless, it's wrong (unless you're flying in Badwater Basin in Death Valley). Did you perform a full IMU calibration before taking it up again?

Kenny, Sorry to see this. My heart goes out to you man. There is a flight log on the Aircraft. You can access it via USB on the tail of the aircraft. Here's a YouTube video on how to get the logs. BTW: I have not done this before - I feel so bad for you I thought compelled to do a little...

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated and valued. -David

First - I don't have manufacturing experience but build stuff from time to time at home. I see what you mean about the conformal coating but am confused how you can spot the re-flow issue. If I may ask, what specifically do see alarming with the re-flow? My question is out of curiosity only -...

Sorry - had to be done.

Dinner Plate!!!! ;)

Airwolf - The shots are HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging. You can find out more here . I use Photomatix Pro on the Mac to process the images. They have a demo for Mac and PC (I think) for free - you can play around with it without any commitment.

I'm loving HDR from the air as well. Here's an HDR flying over a lake:

I did it last Saturday. No issue. It does wobble a bit during the decent. Some say it's due to ring vortex. Moving forward with full down is no issue. Just be aware of the CSC (fly forward - you're good. Fly backwards, bank and turn, and down - ohoh).

Okay - The Bob Marley comment was GOLDEN! Made me laugh.

I think is this an excellent move by DJI. Being in software development for 30 years, I feel this is a great position for DJI to take. They're currently positioned where they can't win. Users complain of poor firmware quality vs. time to release. I think this is will have a HUGE impact...

Does this explains why DJI isn't selling replacement props (original Inspire 1 screw ons). Does this mean that if you want replacement props you need to buy a new quick release? Sorry - that sounds really negative but I don't understand DJI's position here. I mean, there's a shortage (no...

I think it's more preference than anything. I like it since the craft will drift and not come to a complete stop. This leads for a more fluid, organic pan in my opinion. When I'm in GPS mode, the thing is like it's on rails. So when the controls are in neutral, the aircraft just stops right...
