    calibrating vision sensors

    Thanks - what's frustrating is I used this same mac to calibrate P4 before - I did send an email and DJI replied - they suggested setting monitor resolution - I asked why this info could not be found on their web site in support - if you type in vision sensor calibration you get nothing - I try...

    photographing old concrete / steel bldg

    I thought so to - didn't think about RTH - I guess because over the past 4 years I haven't experienced a communications or other issue that resulted in an RTH occurrence - most of my photography is for residential roofs in my inspection business and I always maintain a LOS MJW

    I don't plan on flying near the structure, we will be photographing the roof at around 20-30' above roof - the architect on the project needs a video of the roof only - glad you have photographed successfully downtown fTW - just seating some valuable (as yours was) input - I am normally just...

    I do not plan on flying out of LOS - other attempts did so and crashed - appreciate your responses - just don't want to replicate what other attempts experience - my plan in to walk the perimeter of roof as I follow the drone overhead MJW

    article about a drone operator faulted for mid air collision

    Please don't mistake my comments as not taking this story seriously, this is a dangerous sistuation . In our local paper, I was reading an article about a phantom 4 owner flying in airspace ruled off limits and announced so by the FAA. Not a good thing. The part of the story I found funny was...

    Avoidance beeping

    Is there a way to turn off the annoying beeping produced by avoidance sensors - I use P4 for roof inspection - I want to keep the avoidance feature operable but don't want the beeping - my depth perception sucks so i don't want to be in sport mode - thanks

    Out in the middle of nowhere

    thanks for the reply - phone maybe - elsewhere I doubt it unless the wi-fi system is blasting - there were no towers, residences, businesses present - I was in the boonies.........never had this message before - been flying for about 3 yrs - thanks for the response
