    Battery securing device, strap, hasp... anything?

    Some good thoughts here, and hopefully one's that will be either proven as a factor or not. It's clearly not a wide-spread issue, otherwise we would of had more chiming in on this. ....So that's a good feeling at least!

    Obsidian or white?

    Prior to my purchase, I researched hardcore for about 2 Months straight, only a couple of "I heard" comments, nothing to back it up however. On the possible higher heat within the unit?. Well this could possibly hold some credibility on long hovers w hot direct sunlight (like when trying to get...

    Obsidian or white?

    I liked the darker color much better, and not just b/c of the sexy looks in person, but when VLOS flying, it just is easier to pickup on against the sky.

    Phantom 4 pro Obsidian price drop

    ^^ To add; The 3-battery bank charger is not Obsidean (so it's the boring White lol). Shipping was 3 days, receive signature was required (FedEx). I'd give BuyDig 5/5 Stars, and I've purchased several things from them in the past (they're a big Co.) and..... Black is the fastest color! :)

    Phantom 4 pro Obsidian price drop

    I purchased mine from BuyDig. It was $1399 (US) for this Kit; shipped, no tax. But, after my ordering, I see it's now come up 50 bucks to $1449. Hmmm. Hope this helps :)

    MaxxUAV.com Finally getting Dual Band Antennas!

    I installed the Evolite Extreme Kit w the 4 Hawks Raptor XR antenna. The wire runs were a little crazy?.... When modding up the controller, the video depicts which leads goes to what terminal (on the circuit board). It sounds like they're being fussy for what goes where, but then when on the...

    Three months

    Thanks for the great review. Even though I have an Inspire 2 on my wish list, I still don’t think you can beat the P4P for features for dollars spent.

    Battery securing device, strap, hasp... anything?

    As I started this thread, it was my friend who swears it was a battery being disconnected from the interface that made his immediate signal loss and drop into Seneca Lake. Unfortunately this central NY Finger Lake is the deepest fresh water lake east of the Mississippi.... and I don’t think he...

    buy the Phantom 4 pro now or wait

    Without knowing exactly what the Phantom V will bring, tough call, I always like the latest greatest so if you can wait? If not, the P4P is an excellent bird and is available as we speak.

    How many batteries do you have?

    There are authorized dealers on flea bay. Like anything, you have to research and know a little before you dive in. I’ve had good and bad experiences at dealer shops as well, but at least you can deal w them in person too.

    Battery securing device, strap, hasp... anything?

    I guess I’m a preventative maintenance kind of guy, I just figure if .30 cents worth of Velcro can save a $1200 bird then it’s worth it. Evidence? lol, he hasn’t recovered the black box yet. If it’s of absolutely zero concern with the P4P, well then this is good news and I’ll sit tight on it...

    Battery securing device, strap, hasp... anything?

    I have a friend who had a power loss over our lake, lost video and signal connection, and she immediately dropped. He swears it’s from the battery coming loose. It propababy didn’t slide out, just enough to lose interface connection. Although his was a white P4P, I doubt my black one has any...
