Zero crashes. I am seeing 'Compass 1 disconnected' in the settings now. I am currently in emails with DJI asking for proof. Way too many issues with this **** thing.

No such luck for me! Thanks for the suggestion though craigsdal...

So now I'm getting the message "Compass error - please restart aircraft or recalibrate compass" every single time I fly. I used to get this message 3 times out of 10 flights. There was no rhyme or reason to my fixing it, usually a combination of restarting aircraft, controller and DJI GO app or...

I work regularly on large boats. I always hand catch the drone after filming. To do this, I have always had to match the speed of the boat and lower the drone to just above deck height. Once the downwards facing sensors saw the deck as 'ground' it stayed stationary with the moving boat and was...

I am on holiday with my yoyoing horizonwonky badvideoconnection P4. This new software may or may not fix my issues. However, I didn't bring the lead adapter with me. Is there a way I can update my drone without it? I have my usual usb-lightning lead and a usb-whateveritisthephantom4uses...

I bought 4x rubber 30mm chair leg protectors for cheaper than that. They work fine.

No wobbly landings for one. I fly a lot over uneven ground and snow. Impossible to land. I regularly hand launch also. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Learn to hand catch. There are videos on YouTube to show you how. I have only landed it once on my maiden flight with my old P3. Seriously, you'll never go back to landing. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

You don't have to change over as such, but you have to stop recording. You can't take a photo while videoing. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

This backpack has been awesome: Anbee® Backpack Rucksack for DJI Phantom 3/Phantom 2 Vision/ FC40 Quadcopters: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors I can fit so much in there and it has loads of extra features that make life easy. And it's very cheap. The P4 fits in there well (I use 4x chair leg...
