    Does anyone like the DJI goggles for P4?

    If I wasn't going to get a Mavic or Mavic 2, I would have passed on the Goggles. I think they are much better than other FPV goggles on the market but IMHO a better option is the Crystal Sky monitor now that DJI has reduced the price (I have both). Hopefully DJI will allow third party apps like...

    Spark Available for Pre-Order

    I think the Spark will be used for more than just selfie's. It will be very adequate for shooting real estate as it won't draw much attention and you can fly it easily indoors as well. For me this is a perfect multi-rotor to have in the glove box of my car to knock around at lunch time...

    Inspire 2 or Phantom 4 Pro?!

    Well I pulled trigger and pre-ordered the I2.This was a very tough decision for me as the P4 pro is very tempting and more of a bang for the buck bird. The camera alone is worth the upgrade in my mind. I have a P3P and P4 which are my current go to birds for AP/V. However, I am looking for a...

    6 Months after Release.. What's the consensus around P4 VS P3?

    Bang for your buck versus which is the best quad are two different things. I have no regrets at all with my purchase. Since full 4K is a must for me (do a lot of post processing) that leaves the phantom 3 professional (~$839) and the phantom 4 (~$1199) or $360 difference. I have both quads...

    Polar Pro Filter Installation - Removing Stock Lens Cover

    What worked for me is a small strip of duct tape wrapped around just the filter with some extra hanging down. Gently pull counter clock wise on the excess kind of like an oil filter wrench.

    Phantom 4 noise level

    Agree with you. I just thought I might have a slightly bent prop that was contributing. I did not see any when I was balancing them however. Makes sense that tip speed would be higher since the props are essentially the same between the two birds and the P4 is heavier. I will do a little more...

    Phantom 4 noise level

    I did not use a sound meter but my P4 is louder than my P3P. At first I was concerned as I thought it had more of a whirring noise and motor related. With the props off the motors seem to be fine. I do have my props balanced but I am going to swap out the props to see if that helps. This is a...

    Wobbly Landing

    Hmmm I have had the exact opposite experience with my P4. I have calibrated both my P4 and P3P and my P4 is more stable at landing. I do use a 3 x 2 sheet of plywood to land so maybe the sensors have an easier time detecting it from the surrounding surfaces. Never hand catch as I come from the...

    P4 vs. P3 Comparison Thread (Title Changed)

    For what it is worth here are my thoughts as I have both a P3P and a P4. Camera About the same, but I do think the color is more natural looking on the P4 (color saturation lower) Has a better lens but I cannot tell the difference (not a professional photographer) Gimbal Performance About...

    Who's got their P4 from Apple today?

    Snagged one from the Apple Store in Boulder, CO today. Seemed to have plenty in stock. Pumped to fly it this weekend after the spring snow storm has passed.
