I had this issue as well. the gimbal would "snapback" to its initial position as soon as i put any input on the sticks. mine got so screwed up the camera ended up glitching out and swiveling way down and to the left looking at the leg and wouldnt move from that position until i flew it home and...

ive seen this in sport mode and when my GF was calibrating the compass incorrectly causing the camera to flop around. I wouldnt worry about it.

i use a cellular mini 4 w/ no issues

Colorado local here. I would love to get into RMNP but obviously not allowed to fly there. Ive found the area adjacent to the south has some AMAZING filming locations (Indian Peaks WIlderness Area) if you're up for a hike.

ive been debating this too......i have a feeling its fixable through a firmware patch, ive seen peoples tilted both directions which makes me think its not necessarily a hardware issue. I have DJI care so worst case scenario in 6 months i'll send mine in if its still an issue.

i find gimbal auto calibration to be completely useless. the camera will be level but the second i fly it slants again about 50% of the time. Now whenever im filming the first thing i do is fly to a height where the horizon clearly defined and manually tweak. Mine does not seem to have a...

Can someone explain to me why people on this forum regard true sine waves as necessary for charging their lipo's? Ive used a 400W car inverter for years to charge tons of various lipo battery gadgets with no issues (phones,tablets, laptops ect). I know my inverter likely provides squared waves...

ive noticed their is a bug when you fly with metric units then change to imperial too, it was saying i was flying at 28000 feet or something absurd like that.

ya im not impressed with that upcoming DJI backpack. I would much prefer rigid Styrofoam on both sides.

I got a Lowepro 450 but found it way too big. I returned it for a Lowepro 400. Im not thrilled with it, but it gets the job done for the time being. I would still prefer something similar to what tekky posted above that works without modification for the P4.

can a police officer even enforce FAA rules? All my encounters with cops they have always just wanted to see how the drone works.

Apple would just buy DJI if they wanted in the drone business (and i wouldnt be surprised to see it happen).

Nice video Adam. I wish that pack was 25% smaller, seems like it has lots of extra space. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

with OA turned on i get right on 22MPH consistently. Without OA on in P mode i run in the high 30's. I got up to 52 MPH in p mode the other day with a nice tail wind.

i got up to 50mph yesterday in P mode with forward detection turned off, had a nice tailwind. Im thinking i could get 70+ in sport mode with a decent tail wind.
