    P4 battery bother!

    Having an ssue with a P4 battery tat I've not found any reference to so far. When on the charger, te number 4 LED furthest from the owerbutton - flashes about 15 times aon with thepower button being lit green and no matter how long it's left on charge it never changes it's status. Any ideas...

    Battery woes. Yes !!!! Another one !

    now ; here's a thing. I have had one battery apart , and charged it on a NiMh cycle at 1 Amp until 15.2V. Still only got the button light and 1 LED bar lit , which sometimes flashes 16 times and off , sometimes nthing. No joy connecting the DJI charger, either. But , oddly , in my opinion...

    WANTED! Venom / G.T. Power 4-way charger.

    Anyone in the U.K. got a Venom / G.T. Power P3/P4 4 way battery charger for sale ? Don't know why they're so hard to find here, many available elsewhere, but for 110V. Any info appreciated on a U.K. stockist , yoo.

    Battery woes. Yes !!!! Another one !

    Yeah , old dogs , new trix , I hear ya ! But given a modicum of caution and attention , this OUGHT to be reasonably do-able. What's the worst that could happen ? I know nothing of the Litchi app , other than it exists , but id it has any connexion with DJI, I would be very suspicious of it...

    Battery woes. Yes !!!! Another one !

    Aye. these things do tend to get their knickers in a knot somewhat ! I've tried the reset with the contacts on the bottom board on one of the bats , but no cigar. The case on these things , being glued and snaplocked together makes 'em bloody hard yakka to open . Damage is certain to ensue ...

    Battery woes. Yes !!!! Another one !

    This guy is how I became aware of the possibility of repairing the batts. Unfortunately, the shipping would reder this extremely uneconomical , and then our illustious custos folks would want their pound of flesh on top . The cost would far exceed hat of choking down the angst and buying new...

    Battery woes. Yes !!!! Another one !

    Yet again , dead battery syndrome strikes. I have 5 P4 batts, one , the ne in the drone , seems to hold charge , and charges fine. the other 4 , stored in the boxes they came n , will not charge. On any charger, even the official one . The rub of this is that the whole outfit , is efectively...

    DJI goggs.

    Have a new,boxed , unused set of DJI goggs, bought April '18. Can't get a corrective lens solution that works for me at any price. Plugged 'em up , linked 'em up to my P4, and saw the picture. Great ,but blurred and too **** close to my eyes to allow my specs to help . Bugger. As brand new, may...

    What other goggs for my P4 ?

    Cheers for that ,Tevek. Do them Fatshark ones just plug into the HDMI on the DJI Tx ,as per the DJI goggs? Or failing that, will they receive the video signal from the Phantom ,thereby eliminating the cable? Sounds like the Fatshark jobbies may be the way forward, then. Had a stellar weather...

    What other goggs for my P4 ?

    Can't seem to get any results with lenses at the opticians, seems like the "sweet spot" is someplace between correction increments. Did wonder if there was any sign of a medical condition , as it seems to vary from hour to hour ,but was assured all is well there. Me eyeball is a bit of a duff...

    What other goggs for my P4 ?

    Got me some shiny,new DJI goggs to go with my P4 standard in April this year. Now my eyes have dumped on me from a great height and gone very long-sighted, even specs are not much use, and corrective lenses don't seem to help much , either. Bugger, as they say . So wondered if Fatshark goggs...

    DJI assistant, Windows 10 hates me.

    I would. Would we still travel if aviation was like this, needed animal/human sacrifice to work ? Wait on tho'......I ain't tried that yet, maybe...............

    Here we go again !!!

    4 exchange rate.Well..... 'S like this . Found that DJI were selling gogs cheaper-by quite a long way - than some I've seen for sale ,used ,on Ebay. And WAY cheaper than some new ones on there. So I pulled the trigger at £349. Mebbeez about $430-ish given the ropey £/$ exchange rate these days...
