Thanks for your reply - and yes, I know about "google" but I ventured a post here seeking some first person experiences. Of course, the final arbitrator will by the cruise director's comments. But if anyone has prior experience in such situations, that might be helpful rather than snarky.

Going on a cruise soon. I'm thinking about possibly bringing my Breeze along to shoot some video of the various ports of call - Puerto Rico, Turks/Caicos and vicinity. I'm wondering if each of these ports have their own rules, or maybe total ban on flying at these locations. I'll check with...

Not for every drone out there, but here's a new accessory: An emergency self-deploying parachute. Read more here:

DoomMeister: You are an amazing resource of specific info. Thank you so much. I'll dig into my controller as you suggest. Thank you And meanwhile - how are you doing with your back issues? I've been there/done that, and I know it's a big deal. Wishing you healing and adding a thank you for...

THANK YOU for that helpful reply. #1 goal is to not burn my house down. #2 goal, to have 3 batteries that have reasonable life when I bring them out of hibernation. I think I'll find a safe box to store them in, and put that in my garage where the temps are typically above freezing through my...

With cold weather, I'll not be flying for a while. I read that our batteries should be drained to about 40% before putting them away for weeks or more. I've done that - anything else I should know? My Breeze is new, and I have three batteries that I'd sure like to properly charge next time I...

IT WOULD BE GREAT if this battery will work in the Breeze controller. My Breeze (from Walmart) came with a dead controller. Won't take a charge. I since bought a 2nd controller via eBay, and it charges and works perfectly. But I kinda would like to get the original controller working, and...

Thanks for your helpful info! I'll be making a comparison of controller vs phone app, and while at it, trying to improve my flying skills. That will likely be the biggest help toward smoother pans. Thanks again.

Noob pilot here, working with both the controller and just the phone app. When using the sticks, it seems my left/right turns result in jerky increments, making my videos pretty choppy. While it's been bad weather here, I've not been able to fly and see if using just my phone app will result...

GREAT TIP (as always, DoomMeister) - after all these years, I didn't know that we can put our Android phone into Airplane mode AND enable Wi-Fi. I try to dedicate my phone to pay attention to nothing by the Breeze, and this Airplane / Wifi combo is a simple but brilliant step. Thanks for your help!

I bought 2 spare batteries, so with the three of 'em I'm good to go. I read too that it's not good to run your battery down past 30%, so I'm watching for that, and swapping out battery when needed. Thanks for your note - hope to keep the Breeze flying!

I'm a noob Breeze owner, my first drone. While I've only had the bird for a month, I flat-out love it. This little drone fulfills my video needs perfectly. With that in mind, and knowing that at $149 (with controller) I'm expecting that the Breeze is soon to be discontinued and no longer...

I too had a horrible video camera lag from my Breeze - The fix for me, and my LG V20 Android phone was to go back to the older version of the Breeze Camera App. Get it here: Breeze Cam for Android - APK Download Happy flying!

Norbert - Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the tip too. I was thinking I might have better luck with smooth panning via the app instead of the controller, but it's been windy and rainy here, so I have not been able to fly. But I will definitely give the app w/o controller another try, and...

Very nice - I love the smooth panning. I'm a new Breeze owner, and have yet to smooth my pan left / right. I'm using the controller, and will soon get the hang of things. I'm very pleased with my little Breeze 4k. It's a great starter drone.
