I have not encountered any problems with the latest P4 firmware update but did notice several instances where it was unclear on how to proceed with the update and I may have simply gotten lucky.
As far as deciding between the P4 and the P3SE, both are proven in the market. I have never flown in...
I would like to see some sort of Federal guideline control program in place. The registration was a bare minimum. If there is no FAA enforcement of any guidelines, the thing I most fear is that each municipality will come up with their own rules. The easiest rule they can come up with is an...
Happened to me once: Flying in moderate wind one day and the P4 was possibly hit with a gust that hit the camera so hard it resulted in loss of gimbal control. For the remainder of the flight, the camera was pointed almost straight up. Luckily, I was in line of sight and was able to fly back to...
