    Repair advice

    So my phantom 4 ended up taking a bath in the ocean for a good 5-10mis. Don't ask how.... i don't want to retramatize myself. My question is is it worth it to send it in for repair or should i just buy a new one? I don't know what the price would be... i assume they would just give me a...

    Dummies guide to battery discharge?

    The best way I know how to discharge a battery is to pop it in the drone and fly it till 50%. Unless you buy that dji battery charger/discharger.

    Should you use gimbal guards ?

    Ah i stand corrected. I have heard them called both but anywhoo... i personally don't use them. Usually i land somewhere flat so the camera doesn't hit anyting... if i can't land somewhere flat i just hand catch it.

    Should you use gimbal guards ?

    I think if dji didn't want you to use them, they wouldn't ship it with one. I think it's good to use so the gimble doesn't flop around and get damaged. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

    Limp gimbal situation

    I guess that would make sense. It was pretty windy when I was flying. However the p4 is rated to handle winds of up to 25mph. I didn't have a meter to measure how strong the wind was but I would think the gambol would be strong enough to handle the wind that the drone can handle. Sent from my...

    Limp gimbal situation

    Last week I was in Hawaii and while flying my P4 over the beach the video looked like it all of a sudden lost control. It was pretty far out so I couldn't really see it. I start to try to bring it back and also stabilize it. As it got closer I realized that the controls were just fine but the...

    Gesture Mode

    That's pretty interesting. I was hoping DJI is one of those companies which would continue to improve on their existing products through firmware rather than making you buy a new one all the time. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Gesture Mode

    Coz, a timed shot will just take a still. But the gesture mode, if you make a box signal with your hands it will take a dronie... which is recording a video of you while flying away....... Thats cool.
