    New member looking for advice please

    If you want a p4, get a p4. Regardless of what people say, they are stupidly simple to fly. Thats why dji target a wide consumer base gps, don't need it on your device. I use an iPad mini4 wifi only, no probs, works a treat, period. Avoid reading too much on the forum, buy it and play slowly...

    My view of Geo Fencing

    Here it goes. I paid $2399 AUS for my P4. I am a responsible person. I have zero intentions of flying over airports or Military sites. I have not and probably will not put any further updates into my drone. I find it quite offensive that DJI has filled their pants with number 2's and...

    It's that time again kids for " I told you so"!!!! Seems there are some unhappy campers who updated the go app and now have the wrath of dji geo fencing to deal with. I sit here in silence knowing there are those who are saying, Atariman was right.....we should have just not updated if all was...

    After all the pros and cons comments, I say again, If you have a phantom 4 that is working fine ( flying around and recording video ), updating for some users has posed problems. I am not saying not to update, read the flipping post, if it works, don't touch. Look at all the posts now from the...

    Bypass new GeoFencing.

    Lol.....I was bagged out for my thread about not updating to minimise issues. See.........did I tell you or not? Just don't put any updates in. If u have this new app version you just lost a large chunk of your phantom freedom. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    You are correct. If it is above the RTH altitude it arrive home at that height or ascend if lower. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Sorry dude, I was thinking giga pan, not pixel. Point taken. Still, hands up who has a giga pixel camera? My point is drones make it possible for nefarious users to exploit privacy now. That's all. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    That's your call my friend. If this post is legit and you really do own a new drone. I would regardless of updates, perform calibrations out of the box, pretty sure instructions mention that. You own a drone, you now have to accept responsibility for its actions. Sent from my iPad using...

    Thanks for the reply. I agree. Let me clear this cause to many peeps getting edgy. Every device I own except my phantom gets updated with new software. I avoid updating the phantom because the updates have proven unstable, hence the very reason why this forum exists. Dji updates should always...

    No u can't be 3 miles away and get a better shot. Giga pixel is just normal telephoto photos stitched together. It's not some special technology. U still are limited by your lens focal length. People fly drones over backyards, not 3 miles away but literally feet away. Cmon man, comparing giga...

    I agree the privacy issue was long dead. I live in an area where we do not have sky rise apartments. There have been occasions where people flew drones over private functions in back yards or properties. No giga pixel here buddy, just a snoopy drone operator who would be seconds from his/her...
