    Flying the phantom 4 in snowy conditions..

    the day I received my P4 my P3 became my backup and I was taking a few more risks with it. Flew it in snowstorm. Had an issue with battery only because it was in my cold car. Once it warmed up I flew a waypoints mission and it pretty much flew fine despite snow and wind. Below is link to short clip

    How to make your drone release something while in the air

    I apologize John Locke is correct. I have mine rigged up to my P3 not my P4. I should have pointed it out. Maybe the OP can cancel his order with Gimbal Guard if he doesn't have a P3.

    Can't view the app on my iPad Pro

    Many people have had issues with IOS 9.3.1. I had it with my new iPhone 6s Plus this week. It seems to effect recent restores on devices. The common fix was a dfu restore. Back up your device using iTunes then restore it. You must use iTunes and Google dfu restore for procedure to reset...

    New Phantom 4 not working with Air 2 (9.3.1)
