    Need safety feature when flying over a pond

    Go into your settings and set the EXP setting for your altitude adjustment to make it less sensitive on the stick requiring more input on the stick

    Post your Sunrise and Sunset picture...

    Great shot. How do you keep the land from being too dark when shooting into the sun? Can you tell me what filters and/or settings you are using? Thanks

    Antenna Booster Analysis

    So while I appreciate all the help I'm getting conflicting information. Should I fly low or high over water for range?

    Antenna Booster Analysis

    Thanks, I have some windsurfers I will try next time. Is it correct to keep my antennas pointing almost straight up so that when holding up the RC the flat part of antenna is facing the Phantom?

    Antenna Booster Analysis

    So today I finally was able to fly in an area with little to no interference. I flew from a beach at a park straight out into the bay. I kept it at 200 feet and went straight out. Got the connection lost indication on the screen at 5000 feet (less than 1 mile) and she went into return to home...

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    My recent experience with my Samsung Smartphone was as follows. I was about to fly from my home. I put the phone in Airplane mode (maybe we should call this drone mode) to eliminate any potential interference. I then opened the DJI go app. The map was blurry and not detailed when I zoomed in...

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    Not sure what the P3 RC was like, but the one on the P4 is solid with a 7 inch tablet

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    Just got the P4 with Nexus 7 2013. Not happy as I'm getting intermittent lagging video with distortion. Switch to my Samsung S6 phone and its perfect. Seems the newer bird and updated app benefits from faster processors. Now I'm stuck between Nvidia Shield K1 or Apple Mini 4 with Cellular. These...

    Tablet: Nvidia Shield or Nexus 7 (2013)

    Just purchased a Nexus 7 2013 for my new P4. Initially out of the box it said the DJI app was not compatible. Then a friend made me realize I needed to get OS updates. It took an hour or so and eventually got the Nexus 7 up to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Now the DJI app installed just fine. That...

    Noob needing to know.... Pause button?

    But when you release the sticks in GPS mode doesn't it hover in place without having to pause? Sorry, please forgive me if I'm not understanding. Not having any experience I'm clueless. $1400 is quite a leap from the $800 on the P3a I was prepared to spend. I just want to do it right the first time

    Noob needing to know.... Pause button?

    How is hitting pause on the Phantom 4 going to have a different effect than releasing the sticks, I know nothing, just needing to make an educated decision before purchase. Torn between P3P and P4

    Smartphone, tablet, Apple or Android

    Wow thank you all for the advice. Owning a Macbook Pro laptop you would think I would have an iPhone, but while Apple computers blow away Windows machines, I find the Samsung S6 phone far superior to any iPhone in many aspects, photo quality, screen brightness, functionality, etc. Whatever...

    Smartphone, tablet, Apple or Android

    What is recommended for the best compatibility. Do Apple products or Android work better with the App. Does a smaller tablet make more sense than a larger one for mobility. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a P3A and want to get a sense of what else I will need and what works best...
