    Anyone using skins on their p4p?

    They are - that's for sure. One of the most solid quads I've ever owned. Great in the wind, great quality gimbal and camera - it's a good machine. I just have always hated the shape and color. A lot of people like it... I came from scratch building quads, so it was always taboo in my circles to...

    Anyone using skins on their p4p?

    Personally, I see nothing professional about the look of a phantom - I think they look like a toy and the fact that stock photos of them have been used over the last 6 years in every negative news report about quads, regardless of what quad was actually involved, lends to the negative image...

    WANTED Phantom 4 Video Processing Board

    Hi all, I need a phantom 4 (original) video processing board. I have been through a nightmare of ordering from a place that didn't really have the part and sending it to DJI and receiving a bill for all kinds of stuff that I don't need done because I have custom parts on my TX and quad - so...

    Repair processes - really?

    Hey all, Just wanted to get a grip on others experience with DJI repair. My video processing board began to malfunction, like many others as I have learned when attempting to solve my issue. I was getting red, yellow and white dots all over my pictures and videos and lines in bright exposure...

    red / white dots in video

    Mine's a P4. Am I in a P3 thread? Mine is about 2 years old. What I did today did not work, btw. As soon as I fired it up again I could see the "snow" on the screen of the ipad. This seems to be happening to a lot of people... I wish DJI would address the root cause. I'm sure it's the same...

    red / white dots in video

    So, I just disassembled the gimbal portion (unscrewed and pulled off) to check the ribbon cables. From what I've read and seen in forums, every time dji sees this issue, they say "it needs to be sent in for repair, sorry for the inconvenience". What I think they are doing is either reseating...

    red / white dots in video

    Just wondering if anyone found a solution. I'm going to check the ribbon cable and attempt some firmware updates (I'm 2 behind) to see if that helps. It's not interference that is causing it for me - I have been flying it for years in all of these spots and it has worked fine. Suddenly. Thanks.

    Drone Operators In Birmingham

    I'm sorry, but what? Every response from the op has mentioned some world changing event or tone... Mentioning the Wright brothers, talking about how we'll never know the true limitations and how all around the world pilots... Blah blah blah. Dude, you're talking about walking down the street...

    jakeely.com is a scam.

    That's the truth.

    jakeely.com is a scam.

    I wish I was rolling in money - I'd love to purchase one just to see what happens. I mean, they very well could have robbed a truck full of them and are trying to off them, but you could easily charge 900 instead of 250... Is it just a blatant scam? Pay and never hear again? The ship times (10...

    Video Signal Loss

    I take it you live on the east coast? I was out taking pictures too. Similar sky. First pic is tonight, the rest are just a dump of recent pics. Not the spot for them, I know, but oh well ;) These are all from the P4 original and I think maybe 1 or 2 are edited - all the rest are raw from...

    Video Signal Loss

    Go to imgur, open a free account, upload as much as you'd like, then link anywhere you'd like. The pictures will show up just like as if you've uploaded them.

    Need A Long Range Surveillance Drone

    Or 7.5 miles and duct tape a thermal camera to a tricopter that you can build for a few bucks and go the extra few steps. The only reasons I can come up with for needing to go 8 miles would be a) you can't leave your position, which would indicate you not being in a safe territory. Since US...
