    1st attempt at Tiny Planet Photography (P4)

    Just started panos the other day on my Spark. Very easy. Used microsoft ICE to stitch. I couldn't get the DJI stitcher to work. See Google street view for cemetery pano post: Google Maps I want to use my P4 for panos. Does DJIGO 4 do that? I know it does with Mavics. Also, how do you post...

    Sketchy video link.

    Dear ScottNavyMan, Similar problems here. Airspace and wifi interference warnings in locations I've never had them in the last year. I only get half a screen of still video about 2 or 3 times a minute. This is with my controller inches away from my P4 and the tablet 3 feet away using a...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Are you sure you're not confusing IMAGE loss with RC connection loss? Remember those are two separate things. You can have loss of IMAGE from the video feed while still having RC connection to control the craft. Dear F3honda4me, The image was missing on the tablet with a warning that it...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Dear msinger, Thanks. I didn't know how to locate that info. Because the whole flight was on my tablet I figured the transmitter/tablet was still in contact with the P4. I still don't know why the tx/tb wasn't letting me in on it. Bill

    AlecW, Loaded the KLM into GE. I enabled 3D view in the left column. I used shift click for tilt. Here's to view I got. To me this is amazing. Bill

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    OK. But why didn't I get the connection back when it was hovering for two minutes in plain sight? I lost the connection before the hover. Thanks again, Bill

    WOW!!! Thanks for your help! I'd like to find out were the flight record of the included relative heights draw in can be located. You guys are right on the money. The yellow circle is where I lost sight of it. I very likely pulled the throttle down and probably more than once. Since I had...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Dear msinger, Thank you for your help. I really want to find the cause so I can fly without worrying. I got a Mavic two weeks ago and still haven't flown it yet. I had clear line of sight of it hovering at over 300 feet from 15m 00s until 17m 00s when it apparently went into RTH. I had...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Dear msinger, No one has said anything to me about pilot error. DJI has never mentioned anything either way. I got the email from Fri night after they closed. I'll give them a call Mon and see what they have to say. I just checked in here so I'd something to go on when I contact them beside...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Dear msinger, Since I found the P4 DJI had me return it to them. They gave me a free return label. They said that was because it was still under warrenty. Then I get this: "You repair service of Phantom 4 has been quoted by our repair team. Please refer to the invoice below and complete your...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    [height set at? If it was not high enough to clear the trees, that could be a contributing factor to why it crashed. Glad you recovered it.] Thank you. Sorry I left out a lot of the drama I had sent to DJI. I went thru the DJI GO app online for 3 days before I flew it. I was somewhat...

    Lost Phantom 4. Lost video and transmitter connection and it didn't auto RTH.

    Dear msinger, We found the P4. Up 65 feet in the small branches of a tree. I hired a tree guy with a bucket truck. In a test flight it seemed OK. Battery seemed to charge OK. The video on the transmitter froze 4 or 5 times. I got it going again by rebooting DJI GO. so far Bill
