    Phantom 4 Pro drops like stone!

    Not every day I get a message from Kentucky, thank you! And thank you for your concern re my flying practices but really not warranted in my particular situation as I'm fortunate enough to own a large property and all of my test flights are over it. The only thing likely to be inconvenienced...

    Phantom 4 Pro drops like stone!

    Well my battered bird is still flying but I suspect the obstacle avoidance system is not working. Even before it's "fall to earth", I was getting a constant "rear vision sensor not working". So I connected the drone to the DJI assistant app and selected calibration but get nothing when holding...

    Thanks so much to everyone for all the suggestions and comments, your combined knowledge will certainly help me in making a decision.

    Phantom 4 Pro drops like stone!

    After finally receiving profound apologies from the DJI dealer and eventually the correct replacement controller for my P4, I tested it, listed it and quite quickly sold it on eBay for over A$900 which I was delighted with. Meantime I had acquired a used P4 Pro in excellent condition from the...

    Well wouldn't you know it! Could have spent an awful lot more time trying to get that combination to work !! Thanks so much for your input on this, much appreciated. Hopefully I can get the controller swapped and have another go at getting things working. Cheers - Carl

    Updating P4 firmware when drone and controller won't connect

    Hello Again I've just checked the model number in the controller and it's GL 300L. I also got DjJI assistant to accept that the controller was plugged in and the only firmware option listed was VO1.00.5200. P4P RC for Phantom Pro V2.0. I'm wondering if I've actually been given the wrong...

    Updating P4 firmware when drone and controller won't connect

    Greetings all and thanks so much for all of your input. A few days away from the drone and computer but now back to rejoin the struggle. Had some limited success, have the correct version DJI Assistant installed on my computer (thanks Saladshooter) and upgraded the DJI Go app on my phone and...

    Updating P4 firmware when drone and controller won't connect

    The link to the correct DJI Assistant app that someone sent produced an "unknown developer" warning and wouldn't allow me to open the package :-(

    Updating P4 firmware when drone and controller won't connect

    This is true Andy and I've followed them to the letter without success. As for the compatibility of the controller, I know not of such things, (very much the pilot not a techie), but I'm assuming the "experts" do that sent me a new replacement controller instead of repairing my original. But...

    Updating P4 firmware when drone and controller won't connect

    After purchasing a new controller for my Phantom 4, I've tried to connect to the drone but no luck. DJI assistant will still not recognise my Phantom and when asked to choose my device I’m offered only “A2” or “Ronin” to choose from. I read elsewhere that the latest version of DJI assistant...
