    What's Latest Thoughts on Marco Polo

    but if the tracker has no cell service, you can't move it to an area that has cell service, because you don't know where it is. So it would remain lost if you only counted on your tracker to find it.

    So who's dumping their P4 for Mavic?

    the Mavic's 78 degree FOV is not enough for me. I need the 94. In fact, I prefer the 104 FOV on my Phantom 2. I shoot big things, not people.

    Apple vs Android

    I give two thumbs up to Apple iPads and iPhones. That is what I use when I fly.

    My DJI P3A Flew away just now :( what to do?

    Every time DJI comes out with a new model, I keep hoping they will include a tracker in it. Why not do this? Because I am always amazed at how few people go to the trouble and expense of adding a tracker. This OP said he "trusted DJI", so he didn't add one. If it were me, I would blame myself...

    Field of View for different DJI cameras

    thank you. But I would still like to know about other options.... changing lenses or something. I need 110 FOV.

    My scariest flight yet!

    great story. How do you over ride the auto landing it does when the battery is low?

    Field of View for different DJI cameras

    I shoot stills of big buildings. And on occasion, I use a P2+ that I have been flying the past 2.5 years. It has 110 degrees FOV. If the building is really huge, I sometimes can not fit the whole building into frame unless I take the P2+ higher. Of course 400 feet is the limit. On a couple of...

    The Best SunShade Out There!

    Although that Hoodman you show would get rid of all reflections, I wouldn't like it because I need to touch the iPad screen to tilt the camera and take photos. Wouldn't this long extended hood prevent that?

    Thinking of selling Inspire 1 and buying a P4

    thanks. So field of view is also important to me. the X5 is 30mm (equivalent on a 35mm camera), but you can remove the lens and replace it with a 12mm. The X3 has a 20mm lens. Can it also be replaced? The P4 is also 20mm. So is the P3 (94 degree diagonal field of view). I have been flying a P2+...

    Thinking of selling Inspire 1 and buying a P4

    Please expound on this point, because I am not following the above statement. Why would the P4 cause you to not need the Inspire 1 with an X3 camera any more?

    Thinking of selling Inspire 1 and buying a P4

    Doesn't the X3 camera have one advantage over the X5 camera, in that, if you want to shoot a large building, you don't have to go up as high? I shot a building with my P2 and it was so big, I couldn't get it all in at 400 feet. Of course I could have backed up, but I didn't want to back up for...

    I just saw this David. I am so sorry! I hope you got it taken care of.

    Firmware upgrade just bricked MY P2 Vision+

    I have successfully used my P2 Vision Plus for almost a couple of years, a hundred flights with no issues. I have been planning a big expedition into southern Utah for months. Today I decided to getting around to upgrading the firmware on my remote controller and phantom UAV. the upgrade failed...

    Obstacle Sensing System - Can you still catch the P4 while it is landing?

    I hand catch most of the time. Your props last longer the less they accidentally hit the deck.
