    End of Life for Phantom

    Within the last week I was able to order a P4P battery from the DJI store and was notified it has shipped. So maybe not fully dead yet!

    End of Life for Phantom

    It appears as though DJI has pulled all P4P batteries from retailers.

    End of Life for Phantom

    Thanks. It’s the kind of thing that makes you question if these products can be used to build a business around. Could just as easily happen to the Inspire. That’s not a sustainable business model and now definitely questioning the purpose and viability of DJI as a reliable, long-term supplier...

    End of Life for Phantom

    We all know the Phantom series has stopped production. Today I realized replacement batteries are no longer available from DJI or B&H. Problem is I’ve had several of these batteries swell and have had to get rid of them. I no longer have enough to make it worth it to continuing flying the P4P...

    New DJI product coming May 15th

    Zero interest in this. Hard to imagine they have broken the Phantom line for this. Strategy looks to be to go after us companies knocking out GoPro.

    Having trouble contacting anyone in the DJI sales dept.

    I don’t think the mystery is just with the Phantom. They fired a lot of people due to the huge fraud investigation, the Phantom line is broken / now out of production , they introduced Terra software for the Phantom - huge disconnect. Appears to be running on autopilot. For all those Phantom...

    Environmental Hazards of Abandoned Factories

    Old, abandoned factories create an environmental hazard and safety risk for the community. To look for potentially harmful changes, 3d orthomosaics were developed using a series of flights separated by 18 months. This digital data can then be used to identify changes over long durations in...

    3-d Orthomosaic Using Pix4D - Road Construction

    Two different analyses before and during construction of a new road in Kansas. Each analysis was composed of 600-700 images at two flight levels of 75m and 50m covering roughly 500m square. The automated flight setup and execution of Pix4D was very simple, but running the analysis on a typical...

    Mix of P4P and M2P

    Impressed with the M2P when compared to the P4P. Better low light performance, seems like more dynamic range, quieter and compact - all well known. Not a fan of using my phone however CSU’s the iPad mini with the P4P. P4P footage is 0:40 to 1:15.

    Close Call at Hollywood Beach...

    It’s simple, restrict manned helicopters and aircraft to above 500 ft, unmanned below 400 feet unless within 5 miles of the airport. SUAS are considered aircraft and should have reasonable access to the NAS.

    Texaco Hill & Teter Rock

    Yeah it’s an amazing area. The landscape is such that it makes it appear I was very high, but generally in the 50-100m range.
