    Battery usage/conservation question

    I use an app to determine the wind velocity and direction and any altitude before launching. I have android and it's available on the playstore. This was answered above. Just use a lot of common sense. Turning OA on and off once at your goal is fast and easy.

    Battery usage/conservation question

    Would this be dependant on which mode I used to get out there? I did do what Meta4 suggested and turn off all sensors and it did bump up my speed in P mode to over 30 mph. Dennis

    Battery usage/conservation question

    I tried your method today and it work to some extent. I flew out at about 32 miles an hour in a very light headwind and was able to photograph for about 5 to 6 minutes. More than yesterday for certain. When I got the alert for a low battery I came back and today I had about 4 extra minutes...

    Battery usage/conservation question

    Today I flew out 2.5 Mi over Water to try to photograph a bridge. I went in sport mode which took me out there at 44 miles per hour. By the time I got out there to take the pictures I got a low battery warning and a forced return to home. Would I have been better off to go out in standard mode...

    Sport Mode Question

    Is there something I don't understand about the sport mode? The past couple of days I sent the drone out over a mile over water to lighthouses. I tried to us (S)sport mode to get out there quicker but it will only go as fast as P mode (29 mph max). I tried it for two days with the same...

    About to drop some serious $

    What ever and where ever you buy your drone make sure they have a history of servicing it or replacing it if something should go haywire. I took a tip from someone on one of the youtube videos I researched before buy my unit. He (author) always buys his high end stuff through Amazon because...

    Compass recalibration question

    I am working with my second 4 pro + v2.0 in a month. The first developed a gimbal problem and the Amazon company replaced it. I got the second one and was doing some tests. I notice that when I did a RTH the new drone consistently landed 6 feet from the takeoff spot (home point was set each...

    What is the USB port on the controller for?

    Is there any other benefit of have the USB port? It would seem that DJI wouldn't put it there just to take advantage of third party apps. Really curious in that a USB memory stick came with the unit. Thanks all.
