I've heard of drones being used in mines to survey old/abandoned mines. Not sure how they are pushing the drones deep into the mine system and BLOS. Would an acoustic (beacon) system work similar to what a Roomba uses to find home in a large house? They could be dropped/staged along the way...

The flight won't be logged in the GO4 app nor can Healthy Drones pull the information, at this time. I know people are asking for this capability so there should be a way to do this soon.

Hey Broux2, I tried just that early on but could not get it to work. What I did was takeoff with GO4, move to my designated Home Point, save that, then adjust my camera settings while hovering, then bring up the GS Pro app to kick off the mission. I was hoping to see some updates/improvement...

Sorry for the delay....I haven't been on here for awhile. Anyway, it's on Page 11 of the GS Pro manual (v.1.0 & v1.2), 2/3'rds of the way down under "1. Parameter List".... Good luck!

Nope, and that issue alone (being able to run 3rd party sw) is what steered me away from the Plus version.

Carbon Fiber props....maybe. Too many variables, I think. Prop design, rpm, pitch, weight of the copter, and altitude are some of the factors that come to mind. If they improve, you probably won't notice it enough to offset the expense. Perhaps try a different flight path in and out of your...

Not sure what you're after, but flying higher and in calm air will keep the prop noise to a minimum on a stock P4P. Are your props out of balance, worn, or nicked? The P4 body is pretty smooth, but the props are close to each other, no getting around that one. A larger drone with large...

Our mileages may vary, as they say... It's a good idea to add these emergency/most efficient flight home regimes to our list of "basic building blocks" so when the time comes, you will not be in panic mode.....you'll know what each of your drones (like airplanes and helicopters) can do most...

I feel your pain, and it's nice to have Prime for return issues. I have been reluctant to buy from some of these online dealers after seeing pics of the lower capacity battery being used for the High Capacity (5850mah) Pro battery ad. With time those smaller mah batteries should flush out but...

If you're at a high enough altitude begin your slow descent to your landing spot but keep moving! A 12-13 mph level airspeed, not ground speed, should give you the most efficient flight home and if you're descending all the way, that helps, so you could allow another 1-2 mph more airspeed. If...

Looks like you haven't read the instructions... ;-) You can make micro adjustments (+/-) to height or orientation by pressing the number box for about 2 seconds. During your preflight checks you will see the mission data loading on the drone and when it's complete the drone is ready to start...

Oh, and if you have enough battery left after 1 mission, you can call up a 2nd mission, and send it on it's way, or you can reverse the first mission and run the course backwards, etc. If you can't finish a mission due to low battery, it will remember what WP it left the course to Return To...

It handles aircraft/camera orientation heading and altitude changes gradually from one waypoint to another. That is, if you ask to rotate the Camera/Aircraft 180 deg from waypoint 1 (0 deg) to waypoint 2 (180 deg), you will see the camera slew along the flightpath so by the time you reach...
