    Construction progression photos

    In my opinion ground points and some kind of bearing reference is the only way to go. Angle is the tricky part. A lot can change on a big long term construction project, so pick your reference points carefully. Also remember that you could be flying a different drone or software before the end...

    Big job Batteries (calculator/app)

    You might want to put some thought into how to deal with all of the data and all the identical folder names created by the 3 drones and all the folders with all the identical file names. It’s doable but just be prepared. Also maybe consider having each pilot back up each card every 5 flights...

    Big job Batteries (calculator/app)

    Four batteries is all you need to keep each drone in the air with back to back flights as long as you can keep the chargers running. If it is hot, maybe 5 batteries per drone or forced cooling of some sort for the batteries. I never have had any issues with the drone overheating even in hot...

    Is there any way to charge an iPad mini 5 while flying a P4P?

    I fly a lot of long multi battery mapping missions. My limiting factor is my iPad mini 5 runs out of juice before everything else. Is there a way to charge it while flying?

    Who's Hiring Freelance 107 pilots?

    Flying a consumer drone for money is about like mowing lawns. Unless you have an "angle", you are not much different than every 15 year old kid with a Phantom. Everyone thinks that anyone can successfully pilot a drone, and they are mostly correct. With 107, a pilots license, 333, experience...

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    Hopefully, with some luck and a lot of technology, we can pull through, because common sense isn't going to cut it.

    Need Suggestions for Two-Way Radio Equipment for Air Traffic Communication

    As to the OP, I think you are getting ahead of yourself. Get your Phantom 4 Pro and learn to fly it safely in low risk areas where coordination with aircraft is not an issue. Once you become proficient, reevaluate your situation.

    How likely it is for P4P to crash? Should I get DJI care or not?

    Finally, the right answer. Good on you!

    Where is the "retrace original flight route" that DJI speaks of?

    Here is my post copied from RC Groups on the subject; I have been testing this and can conform that mine does not behave in this manner. It has never retraced its' path back to where it lost signal. I fly out to almost the limit of range then fly in a 45 degree angle away from myself until the...

    Battery good or bad?

    I've had several show a bunch of minor deviations, they have lasted as long as the others.

    New DJI go 4 app and More Channels Hack

    Can confirm it works on the P4P with a iPad mini 4. This link shows an older model but the process is the same.

    New DJI go 4 app and More Channels Hack

    I'd like to know too. I have heard it will work but I cannot say for sure.

    OA was enabled for the flights. I do not have a wind surfer.

    Will P4P fit in P3 HPRC wheeled case?

    My bad, the P4 and P4P batteries are the same, the P3 are a different shape.
