    Cleaning Dirty Lense Phantom 4

    It is just a camera. I would take it to a camera shop and have the lens cleaned professionally. If they have to take it apart, they have the proper tools and also have the proper cleaners to do the job. Just a suggestion.

    Rotating phone/tablet for better video stream.

    Tkogllin, I feel I should apologize for some of the replies you have received. The antenna on your tablet is on the side of the tablet. Rotating the tablet would place the antenna in a position that would increase the theoretical receiving distance. This is because the electronics of the tablet...

    Thoughts about using an iPad 4 mini as a screen?

    I am a newbie and I have an Amazon Fire 8 second generation on my P4 Std. The picture is nice. It's about sixty dollars now so it is probably the cheapest one out there.

You must give them trade secrets, patents, must make product in China and hire according to their policies on foreign trade. We are just now starting to get back. It will hurt, but not as...

    How to make more prop noise? Weird but true

    I use a Cowbell. Hang it from the gimbal protector. Of course the cow doesn't like her bell clanging all over the place.

    Warnings on screen

    Mr. 120CPM that is a great suggestion. I didn't know that airplane mode did that. Thank you for your help. I get interference too, and it's because I can detect seven signals in the 2.4Ghz range and two in the 5.8Ghz range. All most likely from wireless Internet routers. Aa long as I fly within...

    Made some landing skids from pipe lagging good idea or not?

    I use a windshield reflector, the kind that blocks the sun on the windshield. It has a springy wire on the outside and you can fold it quiclyto one third of its size. It makes a neat landing pad for grass, gravel or weeds. Also I use wire stakes from my Christmas inflatables to tack it down...
