    P3P, Gimbal Disconnected, No SD, No Video

    Thats the main thing for me as-well. I have a love HATE relationship with DJI. Ive owner their range going back to the S800 right upto my current goto the P4 Pro. The P4 Pro really is the last DJI drone I will buy. It is an almost perfect piece of kit. That being said Ive learned NEVER to touch...

    P3P, Gimbal Disconnected, No SD, No Video

    Just spent a few hours reading up on this issue. I can't believe how scandalose this is. Ive had my P3 pro in its box for about 10 months. It worked perfectly fine before I put it away. I turned everything on last night and forgot to turn the wifi off on my tablet and somehow it ended up...

    P4 pro with a unconventional payload for a shoot?

    Thanks Tml I appreciate your input. Ive had larger payloads in the past using bigger rigs but always outdoors and quite crudely done..boxes etc. This ones a little tricky being indoors and involves flying towards sitting people (prop guards on) and they take the cups off the drone/tray. Just...

    P4 pro with a unconventional payload for a shoot?

    Thanks. Yea I have a feeling there will be some up interesting aerodynamics at play. I was thinking something like a basket tray so the airflow would pass through. The cups can be glued down and the actors taking them off can be cheated with a closer shot taking them off the tray whilst...

    P4 pro with a unconventional payload for a shoot?

    Hi guys. This is a strange one. I have been booked to shoot some internal scenes for a commercial. The P4pro was the ideal choice because of its sensors when loosing GPS etc. I have flown indoors with great success. However one of the scenes is actually going to feature the P4pro and the...

    DJI P3 with added payloads? Advice?

    Thanks for this! A very in depth calculation. Not as bad as I'd originally thought! I was thinking a good 7 mins or so. I always land at 30% so when that hits I'll see how long it stays up. Now just to figure out a mount.

    DJI P3 with added payloads? Advice?

    Ill have to have a looksy. My old P2 is Zenmuse not Vision. Ahhh I did think about mounting the Seek Thermal on the P2 when it came out but never got round to it. This project im working on is similar but will be for cheap object avoidance and mapping. Its not so secret and its a Google API but...

    New, inexpensive multi-charger review

    I bought the blue multi charger with a very sceptical approach as it was so cheap. Over a year on and I can say the best thing I've bought for my P3

    Litchi trumps DJI Intelligent Flight Mode by a lot!

    I'm glad you have said this ha.I'm in the same boat I have 2 s800 evos and they hardly get used these days. I just love the intelligent FC of the Dji range. I'm looking into pixhawk next but have no experience. One thing I wish Litchi would implement is grid based missions like pix4d and drone...

    Structural Mapping?

    Use poi mode and circle your subject. I usually do 5 different altitude passes and set time-lapse every 5s. I really wish dji would lower the options to say 1-3 s the overlap would be much better.

    Anyone having success with Shield K1 and pix4d?

    Hey guys. I've done my research and decides to buy a nvidia k1 tablet to replace my Intel based Asus pads. The K1 is a cracking but of kit but already hit a snag. I specifically bought it for mapping purposes as my Intel based tablets aren't supported by Dji sdk. Pix4d has been VERY hit and...
