    P4P Stress Cracks

    UPDATE - I was offered either a replacement for $350 or repair for $115, I took the repair, get it back mid next week. I'm not worried about the cost, but will keep this limitation of the platform in mind. I have another professional fixed wing drone that has completed over 2000 hours of flying...

    P4P Stress Cracks

    I have the exact same cracks, I am a professional drone pilot and have flown hundreds of mapping missions with the P4Pro and last mission I noticed a huge piece of plastic missing during preflight checks, and on another arm a new hairline crack starting up. I have DJI care as as far as I know...

    What to do with another aircraft in the area

    Don't know where you were flying but the law here is 1000m clear of all aircraft, so when you hear it coming, get down. And like yesterday. I have aviation insurance (licensed operator) and it only has $20million liability cover, somehow I don't thing that would replace a helicopter or large...

    Flying in trees

    No I'm suggesting nothing, but it would be sensible to make it clear that certain areas can be flown unlicensed, how hard could it be to map all aerodromes and helipads in a simple graphic ( not unlike marine zones) and say, good here, bad here. What is stranger is the allowance of unlicensed...

    Flying in trees

    What about crop dusting pilots and helicopters? They are both licensed to fly below 500ft, and believe me they come out of no where in rural areas where you think you are safest. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Flying in trees

    Well, I think you are all wrong. When I got my CASA UOC the definition of ground level is height above any obstruction within 600m of the aircraft. This means 400ft above com towers, tree tops, building terrain, anything, but only within 600m of the aircraft. This should not pose any issues...

    Strange firmware behaviour with 1 battery

    Yes, did that and it confirms update successful. It only displays update needed for the craft and rc with the new battery that hasn't been flown with yet. Strange thing is it didn't do it the next morning and I flew it around the office till 25% and when I rebooted the plane the error was back...

    Strange firmware behaviour with 1 battery

    So we updated our P3A with 1.2.8 and all is ok, but when I put in the spare battery the status in pilot says firmware update needed and RC update needed. It only does this with the specific battery. The other battery is all green. The latest bin is still on the ad card. And I can't trigger...

    Best video editing software for mac?

    The built in ivideo app is sufficient for most prosumers. If you want to spend some coin Final Cut Pro is gold. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Shooting in 3-D and panoramic shots?

    Pix4d does support P3P for processing, just not the flight manager app yet. I made models of several projects at work just fine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
