    Guess DJI has told us to buy new tablets?

    That sounds like some of the issues I was having. Except I just got a P4pro and new iPad Mini 4 with iOS 11 after using a P3pro and older iPad Mini. I wasn't sure if the P4Pro was "supposed" have slower right speeds than I was used to. But after a few flights it didn't seem right. I tried using...

    How long should the write delay between taking photos be (P4p)?

    PROBLEM SOLVED! I just uninstalled the GO app on my iPad Mini 4 (ios 11), rebooted, then reinstalled. Testing it on my desk, it seems to be working normally now. I can take a new photo (raw + jpg) about every second, just long enough to pan left or right and to get overlapping shots for...

    How long should the write delay between taking photos be (P4p)?

    I just tried it out on my iPhone 6 with iOS 11 and it worked like a charm! I was able to snap off photos as quickly as I could with the P3p. So some thing must be wrong with the install on my iPad Mini 4 (brand new with iOS 11). I’m glad something isn’t wrong with the camera. I’ll reinstall the...

    How long should the write delay between taking photos be (P4p)?

    I can confirm that this issue persists even if I’m only shooting jpg. Sometimes it will let me fire off a few pictures in a row, other times the “saving” indicator will spin for 5-10 seconds before letting me take another photo, and other times it will appear ready to take another photo but the...

    How long should the write delay between taking photos be (P4p)?

    I do need raw files, they make for a much better blender. Anyway, the question I’m asking is if this bottleneck is as noticeable on other people P4pros as it is on mine? Today I tried three different fast cards. With each one I was finding a very noticeable lag with the camera. Sometimes it...

    How long should the write delay between taking photos be (P4p)?

    I've had a P3pro for a couple years, just got the P4pro recently. I take a lot of panoramas where I will: take a photo, pan the camera, quickly take another photo, and so on. With the P3pro I rarely had any delay in taking many raw photos in a row. But with the P4pro I'm finding it is seemingly...

    New Phantom. Got a returned unit, and have old motors. Help.

    If you ever have issues with it in the future you will probably blame yourself for not getting a replacement. If all it will cost is a shipping fee, it might be worth it if the next one is actually new in the box.

    Gimbal calibration does not keep last calibration

    I have this problem and have read (and tried) all the solutions without much luck. But until now I've never heard of turning off the 30deg up setting. I've always tried to calibrate with the camera facing "flat", but left the setting on. Does turning it off make a big difference? I'm skeptical...

    Aerial image stitching - any good software suggestions

    AutoPano Giga is awesome, I'm not surprised to hear they got bought out by GoPro. My favorite method is to use Adobe Lightroom's panorama stitching as a way of previewing the panorama, and then if I like the initial results I will use the Photomerge option in Photoshop, followed by the Adaptive...

    G-Earth KML files

    You could try the site "GPS Visualizer" I find it to be quite useful for many tasks like this. Here is a link: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input

    Bad batteries: Is anyone tracking serial numbers?

    For what it is worth, I have two swollen and un-trustworthy batteries that came with my P2V purchased in December 2013. Both batteries have about 20 cycles and the Assisstant software states that they both have more than 90% life. One of them has caused very early auto-landing (more like...

    Mac ver 3.2 assistant software crash

    After much thought and research, I finally decided to upgrade my firmware. (I've been using 1.08 since December 2013). And I too can't open the 3.2 Assistant app on my Mac Pro running 10.7.5. I'd love to upgrade to Mavericks but unfortunately I'm forever stuck at 10.7.5 because I bought the...

    Battery warranty from December 2013, evidence?

    I have two swollen failing batteries that came with my Phantom 2 Vision I bought in December 2013. Since I don't fly that much both are still relatively new (about 20 discharges on each and % of life at 91% & 94%) and have been properly stored and used since I got them. According to DJI (both...

    Best Backpack for Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I bought the Vanguard UP-Rise II 48 recently and have taken it on two full day hikes here in the Rockies. Looks like the price on Amazon has gone up about $50 since I bought it at $137. I learned about it from this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1yVYSLl1E So far, I'm...
