I was the same. I thought D-Log was the obvious option for superior post processing. But then after looking at the results None is far better.

Just to add, now that I'm used to sports mode I leave the front sensors on while in P mode. The reduced speed is what you want when trying to get some silky smooth shots. And when you need the speed just flick her into sports mode.

Yes, I dont have it in front of me but i think its called "Turn on Forward Obstacle Sensing" and has an on/off toggle.

I'm using -2-2-2 and am happy enough with how it looks. I mean its decent quality for what is in essence a camera phone sensor.

I'm getting about 45-50mph on calm days out of the P4(in sports mode). With a bit of wind I've got up to 58.5mph. I wont be happy until I hit 60 :) I get decent speed in P mode if I turn off the front sensors.

I picked up a cheap Anbee quadcopter backpack from Amazon(cheap but well reviewed for the Phantoms). It took a week or two to arrive from China, but I'm very impressed with what 50 euro can get you :) I actually wanted this backpack not because of the price, but because it's small and looks...

Thanks guys, yes I check them before every flight.

Is there a set amount of time/flights that its recommended to replace the props after? They seem pretty strong and flexible, so I assume unless I can actually see damage or warping it's ok to fly on them? Or is it more of a "I've flown 600 flights, time to dump the old props and put on a fresh...

Also, a little tip to those that fly with a non jailbroken iPad and want to access and upload the flight logs without using iTunes or connecting to a computer. If you have an iPhone or other iOS device that is Jailbroken, install the DJI Go app on that as well. Once you’re done with your...

I just started using healthydrones.com and was very surprised with all the stats and information it pulls from the Phantom 4 log files(even pics somehow from the .txt log). It's a crazy amount of information I didn't realise was getting created and logged while flying and really helps me see...

I printed off 4 motor caps and a few battery terminal covers from Thingiverse last night. Everything fits like glove :) If anyone lives in Ireland and needs something printed for their P4 let me know. No charge as I don’t own the designs and it’s only a few cents worth of plastic. I've a few...

I have a decent 3D printer so I could print out the base for a directional and add some copper or aluminium sheets to it. Or be lazy and buy one as they seem pretty cheap from Amazon/eBay.

Perhaps a mod is what I will end up doing. But I wanted to keep it as clean as possible and I don't really need massive range. A lot of the mods I see are very unsightly and large things hanging off the RC.

So I've only had the P4 for a couple weeks and haven’t had the chance to really push it yet. I'm getting about 1000 meters range before signal loss(video and RC)from my backyard, which is actually not as bad as it sounds as there is a lot of concrete and signal noise in the area(as in I get to...

So I got my new Phantom 4 the other day. I also picked up a 128GB Lexar 633x Class 10 UHS-I MicroSD card as I read it works fine in the copter. It did work, for a couple of flights but now the card itself is saying its write protected and I cannot format or write to it in any way. I’ve tried to...
