    GPS dropping out, both with Litchi and GO app

    Thanks for the replies. I have not added any external devices such as trackers etc, and did re-calibrate the compass when I got the AC back from DJI. I will re-calibrate compass again and see what happens. Now that I think about it, I did find it odd that I got the same AC back according to...

    GPS dropping out, both with Litchi and GO app

    I believe the serial was the same as original.

    GPS dropping out, both with Litchi and GO app

    I sent my P4A in for repair near the end of my DJI Care Refresh, after a crash on takeoff damaged the housing a bit. I got it back in Jan, did a couple of initial flights with it and all seemed good, one thing I noticed was that the gimbal vibration was completely gone, something my original P4A...

    9455S Low Noise Propeller Props from Banggood - are they OEM?

    Last time I looked on Canadian site it was pretty well all 3rd party props (for the 9450), the only ones I could find that said they were DJI branded props were going for $54 for 4 of them. I've been picking up extra ones from Staples outlets when I can, but since they seem to be dropping the...

    Got my Phantom 4 Advanced back from DJI Care Refresh, gimbal vibration is gone.

    When I first bought my Advanced just over a year ago, the first thing I noticed was some jello in some of the footage. I asked DJI about it and they suggested gently moving the entire gimbal with the aircraft powered off in a circular motion in case there was a small piece of debris etc causing...

    9455S Low Noise Propeller Props from Banggood - are they OEM?

    As props for my P4A are getting hard to find, I thought I'd try out the low noise props for the P4P from Banggood, at $14 for two pair it was a pretty good deal. It said on the site they were DJI branded props, but I'd like to find out if it was actually the case. I just got my P4A back from...

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Is Back In Stock!

    I've got an original Phantom 4 and a Phantom 4 Advanced. I had gimbal issues with the Advanced, I was getting jello in the video and on the DJI forum one of the DJI people recommended I roll the gimbal around manually in case there was something stuck causing it. I did and it didn't work. I...

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Will Not Fly Straight and Has Yaw Drift.

    I have the same thing, with both my P4 and my P4A. yaw drift that will cause the aircraft to veer off course when trying to fly a straight line. I have noticed the yaw drift sometimes just hovering, and times I thought it was just me moving the stick subconsciously. Then I noticed the drift in...

    What's the coldest Wx you would fly in??

    I usually fly from inside my truck anyways, can see the screen better and a lot easier on the fingers..

    What's the coldest Wx you would fly in??

    I've flown in as cold as -20C, just acclimatize the aircraft to outside while you keep you batteries warm in your house/vehicle, and put them in as soon as you're ready to start flying.

    Litchi and iPad compatibility

    I have litchi on my older Samsung S2 and my ipad mini, which I bought about 2 years ago, so I am not sure which generation it is, but I think it's a mini 4. It runs fine on my iPad mini, and up till recently I thought it was running okay on my S2 Samsung, but my last mission the app just quit...

    THE DREADED YAW DRIFT. Seems many have this where...

    I posted about this with my P4 Advanced over in the Litchi / Control forum but it's not getting much traction so I'll chime in here. For my I notice yaw drift in both my original and advanced Phantom 4, and recently when I did some waypoint flying it became quite apparent, as the aircraft flies...

    Anyone else have heading drift between waypoints with litchi?

    I will recalibrate the IMU again, and read the article about calibrating the compass properly. Meanwhile, here is a snip from the video, between waypoints 1 & 2. The flight is over a poplar tree plantation. You notice the gap in the trees at the start about 2/3 up the screen, just left of...

    DJI GO 4 App disconnected from Phantom 4 Pro

    When I bought my first P4, I picked up a Samsung S2 9.7" because it was in DJI's approved list and had the brightest display. A few firmware upgrades later and the GO 4 app was giving me disconnects at the worst possible times, one time I thought I lost the P4 but the RTH saved me. The GO 4...

    Anyone else have heading drift between waypoints with litchi?

    I just did a couple of litchi flights this evening, with 500 meters or so between the first two waypoints. The flights went well, but when I was watching them I noticed that at the start of the first waypoint the aircraft (P4A) was headed straight towards the center of the screen. By the time...
