    Poor Video Quality

    Interesting as I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I have NEVER had anything but perfect video the entire time I've had my P4 but yesterday had exactly what you described; pixalization, blank screen, choppy video, etc. I chalked it up to quite a few other r/c planes in the air but never...

    Thinking of Upgrading from toy to P4P. Any thoughts?

    Try it this way, works great. Hope this helps.

    Drone and Travel

    I travel a good bit but never really thought about taking my P4 with me until recently when I took it to Phoenix (there is a thread in the SW section on it) and I had a blast. Will definitely take it with me more in the future. To the OP. I will check out your link, looking forward to reading...

    Thinking of Upgrading from toy to P4P. Any thoughts?

    Keith - does the phone/pad bracket not have the fold out tabs in the middle that permit you to use your phone horizontally? I have the P4 and it does, very handy. I use my IP6+ for 90% of my flights, works like a charm. To the OP: I flew quadcopters for a few years before I got my P4 and it...

    Practical Drone laws in Poland

    Well, that was helpful. I should have prefaced my comments with "after searching the forum first and not finding what I was looking for" comment. I also should have titled my post as "Practical Drone use in Poland" as that is what I'm really looking for, what are the real conditions for flying...

    Practical Drone laws in Poland

    Hey there Phantom friends. I'm looking at spending some time in Poland and wanted to know about the practicality of bringing my quads along. I fly a P4 and various FPV mini quads. From what I have read there are laws (away from people, airports, etc.) but overall should be ok. I'm looking...

    Upgraded P4 propeller mount now available from DJI

    I ordered mine while in Tucson last week after reading this thread and they came yesterday, already installed. Never had any problems with the original design but have to say these definitely put a lot more tension (locking) on the props.

    Tucson?

    Yes, I heard them! Actually, I talked to a group of folks at the entrance and they explained what was ahead in the park and that they went out to shoot. Where I am is in the "no shooting" area. There were quite a few folks out there though. Very nice day for flying!

    Tucson?

    That sounds like a cool place to fly, will have to save it for next time though! I did get out Friday afternoon and had an absolute blast up the road from where I was flying off of Redington road. I got to try (for the first time, duh) the "point of interest" feature and it actually worked...

    Tucson?

    Too bad about the wind, also too bad there wasn't some rain with it! I did go out this afternoon, went south but didn't find a suitable place before it got dark. Hopefully tomorrow, one more shot while I'm in town. :) Will probably go back to the place on Redington road, at least I know I...

    Tucson?

    You say that but I don't think trees are forgiving at all! lol I also have several 210mm mini quads I fly FPV, I don't race, much too old for that but have hit the occasional tree... so yesterday evening I was having a little fun and was flying in between the large saguaro FPV style thinking...

    Tucson?

    I did have a 2nd card, the primary card was sitting at home in the computer after being formatted!! Nice flying though! :)

    Tucson?

    Well, I did get out today, east of town off Redington road. I forgot (somehow?) to install an sd card on the first flight and by the 2nd flight it was getting fairly dark so the pic is kinda dark. Cool flying in a valley with all of the cactus! I hope to get out some other time this week but...

    Tucson?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure either but I did bring it with me and have been looking on the b4ufly app and there doesn't seem like many places near town when you count all of the heliports. I do have a suggestion that I am going to check out though to the east of town. And if I see...
