    Hate to be the one to ask the obvious....but....you didn't take that into consideration when you decided to go fly a white drone in the snow covered landscape ?

    I had a similar experience this morning too, only mine was with a golf ball.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    In all likelihood it was hit by a UPS truck.

    At least you can get your drone up. Hopefully you have been successful in getting your other issue taken care of?.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Just cogitating on this thread, and it hit me.
    The thread title sounds like the first line of some sort of 21st Century blues song.
    Lost my drone this mornin'...

    Maybe I show upload a video of me racing one of my micro drones in first person view from the drones camera. These are super fun and great for racing especially when you have the goggles strapped to your face flying at breakneck speed.

    I was looking at that transmitter and it may be what I need for the dji phantom. My other drones got a go pro hero 4 black on the gimble but have not took it out the box.

    I am really into drone racing and since I quit smoking and drinking its another great side hobby to pass the time. Check out some vids on youtube https://youtu.be/bR4Gq9qfpnM

    That's your first problem, you quit smokin' and drinkin'. ;)

    Drone racing huh....real drone racing, is about 2 maybe 3 minutes tops. The battery has juice enough to just finish a race at top speed. Bad thing is with racing drones, you take your hands off the stick and that puppy will cover a lot of ground in a short period of time...or fall straight down. They can also go full speed straight up until the battery goes caput....then the wind will take it at that high of an altitude.

    Somebody somewhere, is looking for the owner of that white drone that crashed through a skylight in his kitchen....or killed his dog. The upside is, that drone may have killed a nagging wife next town over, which in that case you may have some reward money due you.

    Good luck with the racing, can get expensive bro.
