    128 G card in Phantom 4

    Do you think it was a card quality issue or related to card size?

    128 G card in Phantom 4

    Inspire vs phantom,

    So the P4 seems to cover a lot of ground that the Inspire does. Short of some camera upgrades (which admittedly may make a huge difference, for sure), independent camera, I am not seeing a lot that adds value. Of course, the lower flight time and larger size are what sticks out to me more as I...

    3D LiDAR upgardes for US P4 users?

    So I am researching 3D LiDAR solutions that are upgrades to the P4. Anyone using anything like this? If I end up having to get a heavy lift drone to handle the hardware, as I suspect I shall, then so be it. But if I could get this as an upgrade to a P4, then that would be super. Y'all got...

    Drone Deploy, love it or leave it?

    Pix4d is supposed to be much more accurate, but WOW that price!

    Drone Deploy, love it or leave it?

    1. You are right. I worded that poorly, when in fact the software just might not be what I was envisioning. Excellent point. 2. I would be VERY interested to know how you got the contour lines on that map. 3. Have you tried the volume function? I tried to take the volume of a shed on my farm...

    Drone Deploy, love it or leave it?

    So I have been trialling DD for 2 days, and while I am currently underwhelmed, I figure it may be that the learning curve is a bit steeper than I have been able to afford time for so far. Anyone here use it and love it? Got 3D models to share? I am seeing limitations for any kind of work that...

    Automatic picture snapping function?

    Just went snapping today using the orbit feature. Worked very well.

    Automatic picture snapping function?

    Does the DJI GO app have a function where you can have it snap pictures every few seconds or something as you are flying? I am experimenting with DroneDeploy, and would like to get some additonal pics to beef up this 3 D model.

    Firmware upgrade

    The tut here is great, but I heard there was a recent update that came out. I have hooked up and so far at the Aircraft Selection screen, it gives no indication of there being a firmware update. Is it possible that it updated itself since I fly with an iPad that has a cell connection that I...

    P4 uses, and what is beyond it...

    Oh yeah, I am studying. For the moment, I am just learning the platform. But thank you.

    P4 uses, and what is beyond it...

    I am curious to see what else everyone uses their P4 for, and what kind of uses are beyond this platform. I have a P4 and love it! Still experime ting, but going to go shoot a house tomorrow. I am looking at doing shoots for real state sales, roof inspections, photogrammetry for real estate...

    Difficult maneuvers?

    I am planning on using my P4 mostly inside, and am wondering if there are particular maneuvers that are difficult and require practice? I am already working on rotating around a target and maintaining the target center of view. Thanks!

    P4 is on its way!!!

    Congratulations! I am learning to fly mine now, just came in a few days ago. I got a neck strap, if you want a larger screen look at iPads; they have the best resolution to weight ratio, extra batteries for sure, I am thinking about coating my shipping foam case and using it, along with another...

    Controller screen mount extender?

    Found a couple on Amazon that will extend the reach of the mount vise to accommodate my screen (mount needs to open 9"). Does anyone here have any suggestions from components they have used? Not wanting a tripod as the screen isn't THAT large (iPad Pro 12.9") and I have to have mobility as I...
