    The Mavic flies further and with stronger signal that P4P?? REALLY?

    I'm afraid that CE and FCC are hard or software presets, so not much one can do. If one could I would be very interested in finding out how :) Today in a wide open field I got 2313 meters at 2.4 GHz. Not too bad. More interesting, and to my pleasant surprize I got well over 12 km flight path on...

    The Mavic flies further and with stronger signal that P4P?? REALLY?

    There is nothing wrong with the P4P accordingly to the spectrum analyzer (ext. equipment), yet, The Netherlands is already overcrowded with 2.4 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi making flying in the city nearly impossible, not to mention the GSM, 3 and 4 G telecom towers every 5 mls.

    The Mavic flies further and with stronger signal that P4P?? REALLY?

    I'm have no clue why, but my personal experience is that it takes more distance as wel as radio interference levels before the Mavic loosess connection when compared to the P4P+. This experience makes me fly the Mavic with much more confidence than the P4P+ which I only bought because if its...

    Can't calibrate IMU

    May be this can be of some help. Like you I had to do IMU calibration on first power up. And at first I also failed. Several times even. More precise it took me a few to figure out what was wrong, at least in my case. For the p4p IMU calibration steps 1 through 4 are the same in the videos...

    Yes, the yellow light prevents the photo-resist mask from further development. Lucky and "unlucky" you, I still got 12-14 years down the road, depending on retirement rules to change once more. My original contract would require me just 4 more years, oh well, its still great fun. I think one is...

    Navigation System error

    Please check whether you have location on the controller set to on. I experienced very similar behaviour. That is, as it turned out the p4p controller comes out of box with GPS location off.

    phantom 4+ weak gps signal

    Alright, first all thx for all the help. Appreciate it! My problem is solved. Indeed, the number of sats increased on increasing height as it should. Further, hover was stable and smooth, and as it should be landing was excellent. All is now very, very similar to the Mavic. Conclusion, by...

    phantom 4+ weak gps signal

    Thx, clear Unbelievable, but by default the location provision in the built-in controller is set to off. That may explain a lot. Its raining now so I'll have to wait and see whats the impact. The built-in smart device controller is running Android 5.1.1. Updating is controlled by DJI. I was in...

    Dutch p4p

    Thx WV, Your friend is absolutely right. Hout, van Hout and similar is native Dutch for sure, not German. Region could differ though. Sorry about the cyanide. Overhere cyanide was used in plating baths for chrome bumpers and other trims, gold and silver. Nastu stuff. Good to read your in...

    phantom 4+ weak gps signal

    Thanks for the reply. I agree, IMU and compass won't affect GPS issues. Yet, as I understand inertial guidance, inertial guidance and compass together should be suffcient to get her at least close to home. Unless, that data isn't tracked /processed. Yet, I'm not confident enough to give it a...

    phantom 4+ weak gps signal

    I have exactly the same problem with a brand new p4p. I did not notice it lost GPS first flight, yet, familar to the Mavic, I did find it rather instable / drifting in flight. The flight log showed no GPS. I did not pay any further attention to it till today. Today I did my second flight and I...
