Thanks AirMan. I am familiar with CAN bus on motor vehicles, but was unaware of its inclusion on a drone. Tony.

Thanks msinger... that explains it then. Tony.

Evenin' All I'm looking for a bit of instant wisdom and knowledge. I have recently purchased the HDMI output module for my Phantom 4 Pro (to allow the use of clean video in DJI Goggles) and I am puzzled by one of the ports on it. I can spot the HDMI port (obviously) and also a full-size USB...

I ordered a P4PRO bundle with hard-shell case from DronesforLess online on Monday 3rd April. It looked like a London-based outfit as it had an 02- 'phone number. I actually spoke to them (to an agent with an American accent) on Tuesday morning. He advised me that the items were all in stock (I'd...

Yes... Amazon UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01H1Z3RP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry Turbomania, for the delay in replying. I have used them just once, and was unimpressed. Perhaps due to their highly directional nature and my not having kept them aimed exactly at the drone - difficult when the drone is some distance away - I felt their use was worse than without them...

I'm using an iPad Air 2 cellular/GPS, bought (secondhand) specially as a monitor for the P4. Not sure what its processor is, but it keeps up perfectly with the FPV video, telemetry etc. I also have an iPad mini 2, but as that is wi-fi only, I haven't used it with the drone. It has a slower...

The only iPads to have built-in GPS are the Cellular versions. To use P4’s follow yourself option, GPS is necessary on your tablet. It is not essential to have a SIM card fitted, although you will not be able to use live maps and Google terrain images without, but they can be cached beforehand...

Can anyone enlighten me please on how to change image file numbering from 'start over from 001' to 'continue from last file number' after having cleared files and re-formatted the micro-SD card? I vaguely remember seeing a reference to it when I first had the P4 (about six weeks ago) but I can't...

I would like to think that the Phantom 5 would have the additional features of the Mavic, i.e. gesture control, focusing lens, 'portrait' camera orientation etc, plus extra features I somehow assumed a Phantom 5 would have. Top of my list would be collision avoidance sensors on all four sides...

I hope this is the right thread for this post. I have experienced the occasional comms. dropout with my recently acquired P4. I thought of upgrading to one of those signal booster kits which result in two external white square panels in place of the OEM antennae on the rear of the CU. But...

No, not continuous autofocus... I don't believe the Mavic has that. I think centre focus implies 'hyperfocal distance' - a point which will ensure sharp focus from infinity back to a point close to the camera. Focusing on infinity is wasteful, for there is a range of sharpness beyond the focused...

I am new to the whole drone thing, having acquired my first drone - a Phantom 4 - about five weeks ago. Since then I've been clueing up avidly on the Mavic. A truly impressive machine indeed. Well worthy of the moniker 'magic Mavic'. But am I tempted to swap my P4 for a Mavic? Most definitely...

No.
