Thanks, I'll look into it.

It was a gift, but it was purchased new in Dec 2018. If I ship it to them, do they give an estimate before they start the repair? Do they charge for an estimate?

I crashed Sparky over a month ago. My bad. I was trying to land and caught a branch. No signal from the camera, can't read the card when it's in Sparky and the card got really, really hot when I tried to read it with a card reader. Error messages I'm getting are Forward Vision Sensor Error...

Thanks! Good to know about flying towards the sun, but I had the sun at my back. I think I'm going to have to go back to the same place and try to reproduce the problem. This time I will remember sunglasses and my sunshade for the controller so I can see the screen.

I was flying today. I got a warning alert sound and couldn't move forward. I could not clearly see the warning on the screen. It was red like a collision warning, but I was at 200 ft so I don't think that was it. I tried looking at the flight record data in Phantom Helper's DJI Flight Log...

I use the props to protect the birds, guess it’s just a different way to look at things. I was waiting for some turkey vultures to clear an area before I flew. Decided to pull out the camera with a big telephoto lens to get some BIF shots. Vultures immediately drifted off. Lol.

So, I wonder how you control the gimbal? Through the app? Other question, assuming the FAA doesn't change the regulations, what exactly does that mean for recreational type people who fly the mini? I'm assuming you can't fly in restricted airspace (duh), but does that mean you don't have to...

I like the 30 minutes, too, but not enough to replace Sparky (but I don't fly that often.) I would miss panorama mode.

#1, except now I have Road to Shambala stuck in my head...lol

Hey, Bill! I’m up in the mountains in southwest Virginia.

Thanks so much. That clears it up for me.

I'm in the US. I get that as a hobbyist/recreational flyer, I can't fly within 5 miles of an airport with a tower (controlled airspace) until LAANC is opened up to us. What I don't understand is how close I can fly to an airport without a tower (uncontrolled airspace)? For example, I live...

I've been lurking and decided to join. I got a Spark for Christmas and I'm still learning. I just got back from vacation in Utah and Colorado. My footage isn't great, but I had fun flying. Gotta start somewhere.
