    Very cool video and nice piloting!

    Anyone taken their P4 to Canada?

    We're in west Ontario. We cross at Ft Francis and it's 4 hours of mostly logging roads from there. We go up this same time every year and we never know how mad they'll be until we step out of the trucks. If they're bad we find out within seconds lol.

    Anyone taken their P4 to Canada?

    I'll post a link to the video once I get back and get a chance to put it all together. I'm very much an amateur when it comes to making videos but I'm hoping to tell the whole story. I've got a Go Pro, Virb, Canon HF G30, Nikon P900 and the P4. I've got a lot of ideas on what I'd like to...

    Anyone taken their P4 to Canada?

    Are they bad this year? It's been really cool down here but we did have a few warm spells earlier in the year. I was hoping the bugs wouldn't be out of control this time up.

    Anyone taken their P4 to Canada?

    I'm leaving for Ontario tomorrow and really want to take my P4. I'll be fishing in a remote location with virtually zero chance of annoying or encountering anyone else while I'm up there. We do have float planes fly overhead pretty low so I'll be very careful to keep it within eyesight to...

    Hydrographics on the P4 shell?

    My best friend is in the process of setting up a water transfer printing business. I thought it would be pretty cool to have him "dip" my P4 shell and perhaps the RC shell as well once he gets everything together. Is this something that would cause issues with the GPS or any of the other...

    GoPro & Macbook issue

    For some reason (suddenly) I cannot get my Macbook Pro to play videos from my GoPro Hero 3. I'm recording 1080/24fps and I can open the video with either Quicktime or VLC and it will play the first half second then the screen freezes but the status bar continues to progress. Does anyone have...

    Newbie Device Help?!

    Does a cellular version have to be activated on a cell network for the GPS/Follow Me/Reset Home Point to work?

    So has any one flown on the new firmware (v1.1.301)?

    Just tried my first flight after updating yesterday. I also picked up a new iPad Mini 4 this morning so it was a first use for that as well. Everything seemed to work as before but I'm far from being an advanced pilot. I did notice a couple flickers in my video but I also get intermittent...

    Heading to Ontario, what do I need to know?

    I'm heading up to Ontario next month for my annual fishing trip. It's a pretty remote area (by my standards anyway) but we do typically see one or two float planes flying overhead each day. I'd really like to take my P4 and record some pics and video while I'm up there. Obviously I'll be very...

    Sticky thread idea

    I'm a newbie to drones and still have a lot to learn about photography and video. It seems we have a lot of members from both ends of the spectrum here, some looking to help and share as well as those looking to learn. Just read a thread asking about camera settings and thought it might be...

    Nvidia Shield K1

    Bought this about three weeks ago to use with my P4. Decided to go with IOS so I'm picking up an iPad Mini 4 tomorrow and won't need it. These don't come with a charger but I'm including one as well as a PNY 128gb Micro SD card. It also has an anti-glare screen protector on it. Worked...

    Can we charge the receiver and the battery at the same time

    I've read the issue with dual charging with previous versions was the charger overheating. I charged both at the same time before I knew about the earlier issues and noted no heat build up while charging both.
