I've noticed the right rear prop on my P4P wobbles at idle, even after putting on a new prop. After flying today, I took a look at the motor after taking off the prop. There is a little bit of fine orange dust on the top of the motor and inside the prop. Is this a sign of a bad prop mount or...

I have begun using Kittyhawk to track my flights and aircraft and batteries. I have noticed that my flights with other apps (DroneDeploy, Pix4DMapper, Skywatch) don't sync with my DJI records in the Go app so they never make it to my Kittyhawk account. Is there a way to get the flight records...

This poster hasn't been active in some time but... does anyone know what this looks like? I am trying to picture it but I can't. I'm becoming increasingly proactive with maintenance on my drones and all I do is look to see that the motors spin smoothly.

Yes! Remember the IMSAFE checklist from the Aeronautical Information Manual. (Was it even a subject on the 107 exam?) Illness - Is the pilot suffering from any illness or symptom of an illness which might affect them in flight? Medication - Is the pilot currently taking any drugs...

I've been hearing that real estate photography has been oversaturated and it continues to get worse. Drone are, however, being adopted in many other industries. If you have the time and resources, maybe pick up some other skills that you could offer other potential clients. Here is an article...

For those of you who fly for Dronebase, where are the pano missions? I was logged in this afternoon looking for nearby missions but when I logged back in tonight, the pano map is GONE!!! Same with the Active Missions page. I don't see anything other than their pushing the 4K Getty creative...

I use a pretty basic system for transporting my drone between locations when I do Dronebase missions in the same general area to reduce takedown and set up- see pictured. How do y'all transport yours around? Do you take the props off and pack the whole thing up every time? What about you...

Got it registered! Thanks guys!

Here's another question about DroneZone: I registered my Phantom prior to receiving my 107 and now through DroneZone it wants me to register it again and pay the $5 again. Is this an error on their part, or do I have to double pay. Will my Phantom need 2 FAA registration numbers?

I just complete the course myself. I'm expecting to be assigned the first test mission in the next few days. Hopefully it provides some side hustle work that is worth the time.

You can even buy DJI products at Apple stores!

This is the sentence I have been searching for the last few weeks! With all the P4s and Inspires I hear about (and sometimes see), I've been worried my P3 wouldn't cut it when it comes to getting my 107 feet wet.
