That is 99% CMOS sensor issue. Nothing to do with FW update.

I think in the future, this is what will happen. I am just imagining when control on drone come to an extreme point.... it takes geo-fencing to a much higher level. - All drones from XX weight and up, maybe 500 grams, must have a registered cellphone sim card installed. - This sim card is...

Gee..me afraid to update. I am even on very old controller FW 1.6.8, due to its best compatibility with HDMI board installed. Above this FW number on controller, I get lots of artifacts from video feed on Android, on iOS is okey. I like my Android Shield K1 better than 2 of my iPads for...

Sorry about the MANUAL = ATTI thingy. I got confused with my past experience with Phantom 1, which can do real MANUAL mode. .. :eek: OOT : Nice travel ...:) I hope the local Indonesian driving style did not scared you ...LOL. I see you like photos so much and your trip is a Photoworkshop ...

Thanks Chief :)

Chief, Thanks for the tip. I thought rough handling at airports would kinda upset my IMU and compass. DJI has such advice on their tutorial on IMU, "during transportation, the sensors in the IMU may fall out of calibration" ... so I follow their advice. Its the Phantom 3 though. At 00:33...

Hi Dhay, MANUAL = ATTI , that is what I call manual. Only barometer used as height control. GPS positioning is off, so drone will drift. Your vessel is smaller, more risky than the one I was on. I hope you are already comfortable 100% on ATTI/MANUAL for take off and landing. Your landing...

Agree Chief, but I am kinda itchy handed :) It was the IMU, not the compass. The P4 wont allow me to take off when it was very sea sick, hence I dared to calibrate the IMU, there is nothing to loose at that point. The mild rolling at anchor during IMU calibration was not good I know, but its...

:D

Now some images... Its fun to look at Google Earth, but since it is flat view quality for most area, an equivalent angled aerial photo does looks different . . . . Sorry, IMU already got sea sick here, so horizon kinda off :) . I don't have any filters on the P4, its all as-is. end

Hi All, Just want to share some things I learnt ... I am not a seasoned Phantom 4 user, so apology if any of the info sound stupid. Anyway, due to a messed up departure flight schedule for this live on board dive trip, I did not have time to calibrate the IMU on solid non moving ground upon...

Yes. So it keep giving me firmware update warning....LOL Ignore the compass need-2-calibrate warning. I dont know my Phantom 4 is so stupid, it cant tell magnetic interference from a bad compass in the beginning. It is sitting now on top of my baby grand piano and it senses the...

Crezz, Are you on Android ? and your transmitter is higher than 1.6 firmware ? I had the same problem and now went backward to 1.6 firmware on transmitter. Its better, not 100% super reliable but 90% of the time it is good. Still getting often weak signal warning though. I am also on older DJI...

Hi John, Thanks for your advice and explanation. This hand catch thingy is worst case scenario, hence safety visor and long glove made available:) . I am even considering a butterfly net style catch if motor ESC wont burn:D Likely scenario for the moving boat is, the drone will be landing on...

Hi John, Some question if I may..... Say the boat is moving at 5 knots, I then position P4 for hand catch. That means I must still maintain also 5 knots on the P4. I then get a second person to do hand catch, because it is safer with two hands. The moment the hand catch occurred, I then...
