    DJI GO4 update

    OK, got it. Auto updates were already turned off. I thot maybe there was also a setting in Go4. I see where it wants to update to 4.1.18. Just checked and I'm still at 4.1.7. Will leave it as is. :-)

Had a easy time with the initial manoevers. The Overall Status screen blocked the camera image and showed that updates were needed. Decided...

    Connecting from Phantom to IPad

    I don't get it - if you're connecting to the drone, the Apple Lightning tip is not the right one - at least for my Phantom. The cable that came with the drone has USB at one end and I guess it's a micro USB on the other. (Even the very short USB cable does not have a Lightning tip on it.) It...

    First time lighting things up

    Thanks. Had already ordered that very same cable. And just did the controller firmware update. So all is good - if the weather would just cooperate.

    First time lighting things up

    So weather here in the far northwest been so bad that I haven't done a thing with new P4 except unpack it. Indoors today and did the firmware update on the aircraft with my iMac. Went well.
