    New iPad, old drone = Discomnected

    New iPad, old drone = Discomnected

    I just bought a new iPAD and installed DJI GO 4 v. 4.3.5. Turned on the P4P and the software reported Disconnected. Restarted the iPAD, then the drone, then both (in reverse order) but can;t get the software to see the drone. The controller works fine, so I know the cable is good - it runs the...

    Preparing to fly from boat

    OK - thanks, Just worried that if the bird isn't level it may throw off the compass. Will practice before leaving. The schooner will be in a bay in Greenland - once in a lifetime opportunity. So with a lot of practice under my belt (and good insurance), I'm going for the best.

    Preparing to fly from boat

    I plan to hand launch my drone while on a schooner and want to get the steps down. Should I start up on a flat area away from all metal (raised on a bucket or my backpack, which has a flat surface), let the bird get oriented, then pick it up to launch? I don't think I can hold it very steady...

    Sticky settings?

    Are the settings you make in the Go App supposed to stick? I have set the function of the two front buttons several times and each time I reload Go, they are reset. Expected behavior?

    Btw- elsewhere you mentioned that I should calibrate the compass before I take off from the schooner in a bay in Greenland, where I will be next week. I've had the drone for over a month and flown about 10 hours and every time I start up, it says the compass is normal. So do you recommend...

    Reading Compass in Go 4 app

    So if I have first selected the RC as the return to home point and the boat moves, should I just toggle the option over to the original RTH point then back to using the RC in order to reset the position? Just want be clear about the resetting method. "The home point is reset as soon as you...

    Got it. But how exactly do you you <reset> the home point? I know how to choose between those two options at start up, but once I choose RC as the home point, how do I reset it to my current location as the boat moves? And isn't that option for the RTH point, not the home point? The radar works...

    Reading Compass in Go 4 app

    Thanks for the info. Been practicing hand catch and flying w/o GPS (ATTI) for weeks and feeling pretty good. The unknowns are what I am worried about - compass issues that far north, lack of VPS (will disable) over water... But planning to buy the Dual Electronics XGPS150A Multipurpose...

    Reading Compass in Go 4 app

    Thanks for the replies. Is there any way to get the orientation to be relative to the current RC position, as I constantly move around while flying my drone and lose my own orientation to the home point. So showing me the direction of the drone relative to the home point doesn't really help me...

    Reading Compass in Go 4 app

    I'm trying to figure out what settings/options to use to help me get the best sense of what direction my drone is in relative to my position as well as what its own orientation is. (Just added LEDs, which I hope will help in bright daylight) Can anyone point me to a good video tutorial on using...
