I have a phantom 4 Pro + 3 batteries, the high-capacity ones and I'm wondering if anyone knows off hand how many batteries you would need to be able to run the Drone Non-Stop changing batteries as they charge/deplete? I have the DJI 3 battery charging cradle it only charges one at a time but at...

This latest update (01.04.0602) is complete garbage and has resulted in TWO drone returns to DJI via Best Buy. Mine flew fine for over a month, then I went ahead and did this update and started getting gimbal overload errors while in flight. Landed it, checked everything out and couldn't find a...

I recently purchased a phantom 4 pro with the intent of using it for business, real estate, but also I'm a tech geek, so, fun business expense I can write off :) What I'm wondering is two things involving line of sight. One, I live in a rural area with trees up to 165 feet in height all over...
