    Phantom 4 & Kindle Fire

    As I recall I Googled the DJI app for Kindle and downloaded it directly to the KIndle. It never worked right and I got rid of it. From what I understand Kindle does not have the GPS function and I couldn't get the maps. I use the Samsung Tab 4 or my Galaxy Note 5 cell phone and they work...

    First Update Problem P4

    Thanks for the help guys, appears the problem is solved. It turned out that the controller had not gotten updated. I thought that it had been but apparently the DL got corrupted some how. When I tried again it worked. Can't help being a little paranoid now.

    First Update Problem P4

    Yes, If that's what gets updated thru the app then I did. The problem comes up even if I try using Litchi.

    First Update Problem P4

    Boy, that's the truth. Thought maybe I might need to update the controller but not sure how to do it or if it even needs to be done.

    First Update Problem P4

    Yes I've tried that and every other combination I could think of. I know it was working just fine a few minutes before the upgrade. I've been thinking of doing a factory reset but I don't want to jump into something I may be worry for.

    First Update Problem P4

    I have owned my Phantom 4 for a couple of years now. I have upgraded it several times without a problem. Have read a number of posts from guys that have had problems upgrading and couldn't help wondering what they might be doing wrong. Well all of a sudden I am having a problem with the latest...

    Why ATTI mode is not for me

    When I first learned to fly R/C years ago I was always to heavy on the sticks. An old timer told me to lighten up and handle the controls very gently. As he put it "It's kind of like milking a mouse". Now I never milked a mouse but you get the idea. .

    Will drone shut off while flying when I put throttle all the way down for a quick descent?

    I believe in order to stop the motors in flight you have to do something with the left stick and the RTH button. I'm not sure exactly but I remember getting some information on it a while back. You have to do something that you would not normally do when flying.

    Drone Insurance, Florida

    Thanks for the info Jonathan. I am waiting for a quote from a company in northern FL. Depending on what they come back with I may check your company out. I hear of all these folks getting insurance with State Farm but here in FL they don't seem to know any thing about it.

    Got insurance for my Phantom 4

    I live in Ft. Pierce, Fl and had heard that State Farm was insuring drones. I gave them a call and they new nothing about it. The lady was very nice and checked with the main office, same answer. I wonder if anybody in Florida has gotten State Farm insurance on their drone.

    Video editing

    I have been using Windows Movie Maker. It's very basic and it's free. If you have Windows Essential on your computer you already have it. If not you can download it. It's quite easy to use in comparison to some of the others I've tried. It all depends on how sophisticated you want to be...
