    New P4P Gimbal Drift? (Video)

    The gimbal settings could help if it consistently drifted in ONE direction but mine seems to drift in both directions.

    New P4P Gimbal Drift? (Video)

    Mine can be seen drifting on the ground as well. I'm on my second p4p and they both do it so I'm starting to think this is a common issue.

    DroneBase Client Mission Frustrations

    It sounds like maybe you don't live in an area where there is a large market for these types of services. Best of luck.

    Can't Switch Between DJI Go & Litchi

    I'm using an iPhone 6S Plus with iOS 11.3 with my P4P. My issue is that I can't switch between the go app and litchi without getting a "disconnected" message each time I switch between the two apps. The only way I can remedy this is by disconnecting and reconnecting the phone which immediately...

    Cautionary Tale

    While flying a drone deploy mission today I had a bit of a mishap and I just thought I'd share because as amazing as we think we are as pilots, no one is perfect. On to the story. I sent my drone up for a drone deploy mission and after it got to it's desired altitude I pulled my phone out to...

    Phantom 4 Pro batteries

    In my P3 days, I had multiple 3rd party batteries be completely disabled by updates. I learned my lesson and will not be buying anything but DJI batteries going forward. If you're looking to save a few bucks consider purchasing used but low cycle count DJI batteries. This seller sells both P4 &...

    DroneBase Client Mission Frustrations

    IMO it should be a tiered system based on factors like experience, quality of past work, quality of drone, etc. This would increase the quality dronebase can offer to their clients because they are using their best pilots more often instead of offering that same job to every pilot in their...

    Drone Crash at Apple Park Flight Log Interpretation

    You don't need authorization from Apple. You can get instant authorization to fly in that airspace.

    Best drone app recommendations?

    An Airspace App would be crucial for you. Especially if you're new and aren't sure where you should and where you shouldn't fly. I'd suggest Airmap because it has built in flight request and approval features for certain airspaces.

    Drone Crash at Apple Park Flight Log Interpretation

    Seeing comments like these makes me wonder about the legality of doing such a thing. Since this drone landed on private property could it be considered trespassing if you picked something up that landed on their property?

    Drone Crash at Apple Park Flight Log Interpretation

    I appreciate the input. I don’t have a ton more details regarding the flight given that i was not there. However you can see the cached vid of the crash here. I would imagine that would offer more insight.

    Drone Crash at Apple Park Flight Log Interpretation

    Hey everyone. I'm posting this on behalf of the pilot who's drone crashed into Apple's HQ. I made a video about it and even sent my drone out to locate his crashed drone. He recently sent me his flight log from this incident. My initial interpretation is that he had a bad battery as you can see...

    New P4P Gimbal Drift? (Video)

    If it settled in a reasonable amount of time I could deal with it but it just continues to drift endlessly.

    New P4P Gimbal Drift? (Video)

    I have a p4p whose gimbal drifts in both directions. Say I come to a stop and hover in one place. The camera will continue to drift either left or right. While this isn’t too bad shooting video, it really slows me down when shooting stills While trying to frame shots. I’ve tried -IMU Cal...
