    android software compatability

    Better late than never! Thanks for a reply. All is well anyway except it is impossible to discern anything on the screen in any sort of daylight!!

    Wonky horizon

    A RTFM!! Not seen that option. Duh. I'm using Litchi btw.

    Wonky horizon

    My P4 seems to video sloping to one side. The horizon appears to slope from left to right quite markedly. The rest of the shot looks OK so is this maybe curveture due to the very wide angle of the lens? Or is it a misaligned gimbal?

    Who has not crashed or had issues with phantom drone

    Had my first drone a P4 for a couple of weeks. Managed to drop it into a pool of water - totally submerged for about a minute. Removed battery, shook out as much water as possible and left in my car in the sun (I live on the Costa in Spain so it's hot!). The battery never recovered and was...

    Suggestions for googles for use with Phantom 4

    I'm interested in using a simple display that I can wear on my head to replace my phone as a monitor when flying FPV on my Phantom 4 because the phone screen is almost invisible in any sort of daylight! I don't want any sort of VR experience, I just want to see what the drone sees whilst...

    after dunking, P4 gimbal initialisation goes crazy

    This is after overnight drying. The camera is working just the gimbal can't initialise itself correctly. Would it be a good idea to spray a little WD40 (a very fine oil that acts as a water repellent and is used to dry electrical circuits, probably under a different name outside the UK).

    after dunking, P4 gimbal initialisation goes crazy

    I managed to land in the only bit of water for miles around. Totally submerged for about a minute. After a day of TLC all seems good except that upon switching on, the gimbal goes crazy. The camera is recording OK during this phase and the motors all fire up. It maybe I need to wait longer for...

    android software compatability

    I am awaiting delivery of the Pantom 4. Meanwhile, I've been reading the information and am confused. The Android Go and similar software from DJI lists a number of tablets it is compatible with. I understood before buying that an Android mobile phone could be used. I have a Moto G with...
