    Is your P4 firmware update GOOD? Post here please!

    Seems fine but I struggled to find the proper update process for the + controller. Took DJI online support an hour to figure it out as the process is very different from the mobile device controller.

    Time to File a Class Action Lawsuit Regarding the P4P+

    Why don't you just buy a second remote for the 4Pro and save yourself one hell of a lot of aggravation. $300. Then you have the best of both.

    What You Should Have Been Told

    Learn to fly manually with GPS including flying back where the orientation is backwards. You can learn this with inexpensive quads as well. Get away from folks.

    HDR Photos

    For the serious photographers here. Just wanted to remind folks that the P4P with manual exposure control makes for perfect HD photos. I have been doing this for a while as some others here have. One under exposed shot and one over exposed shot developed in Adobe Lightroom. You could add...

    P4P+ (Plus) has less benefits and functionality! Other problems too!

    I have 'need to upgrade firmware' once in a while but I just fly and it goes away. I always take off and land manually GPS. Habit.

    Decal Girl

    Received my skins for my P4P+. It was a custom design that was printed wrong. Skin for the 'plus' controller didn't fit. Threw it all away.

    P4P+ screen hood needed

    Amazon.com: DJI Original Inspire 1,Phantom 3 Remote Controller Monitor Hood (for Smartphones) (Sun hood, Sunshade, Sunhood, Monitor shade) Compatible with iPhone 6 Plus and majority of smartphone devices: Camera & Photo Works fine on my Plus. I used velcro to keep it on the back of the screen.

    Winged overlords of the sky

    A seagull took out my P4 in Norther Calif coast. I have placed shiny quilted mylar on surfaces. Not sure if it helps as most seagulls fly away.

    Near mid air collision UK

    Sure seems like many of these reports turn up in the UK. I think the most reported one was at Heathrow and it turned out to be a plastic bag or balloon. Maybe, some of these high altitude sighting are balloons.

    Seeing a lot of problems on P4Ps..
