They are just tricky to find in the UK - almost entirely Chinese stockists.

Hi - I'm based in the UK and now struggling to purchase Phantom 4 batteries. Frustratingly AllBatteries.co.uk have now sent me 4 bricked batteries from the same warehouse. They are clearly ones that have been stored for months (years) and allowed to discharge completely. I'm more than happy to...

I may have answered my own question after a few threads popped up. This video suggests a small amount of model epoxy, applied in the little well where the shaft sits. Slightly worrying - as I guess you get one chance to get it straight! Has anyone tried this - and would I be OK to use araldite...

The attachment to on my gimbal motor has become looser over the years - see image below. It is now very (too) easy to pop the camera off the shaft and it often drops off. This also means that it can get out of alignment. Does anyone know a quick fix for this issue? Is there a way to increase...

Having recently sent my P3S for a very reasonable service with DJI in the Netherlands - I might see if I can get another year out of it. They are basically the only ones who will do repairs on Phantom 3 now, but I was surprised how cheap it was for what they did. If it gives up - I'll upgrade...

I think this thread has answered most of my questions from my post about a Phantom 3 replacement! Tempted to grab a P4P while they are still around. It should last me 5 years, unless something dramatic happens! I'm commercial use, so have to be wary about the changing UK legislation. Mavic's...

Hi, My Phantom 3 (Standard) is coming to the end of it's useful life - and I'm keen to get something with a higher quality camera. I've been out of the loop for a while and noticed that Phantom 4 is discontinued, and still no word on Phantom 5 (as far as I can see!) I primarily use the drone...

Hi - I found that Pix4Capture did the job until they started to charge for processing in the cloud. Since then I've upgraded and use precisionmapper as I get 5 free maps per month - and there is no limit to the size.

Well... it seems to be t least as good - I was easily getting 500m

I'm flying a stock phantom 3 in Europe using Pix4D This uses wifi to fly the routes - so I was wondering what sort of range I might get. Will it be better than the approx 500m I got from the Vision 2 plus?

Well this worked for me. Download the 2015 version of DJI vision app from here: dji-vision APK download | APKPure.co

Hi, I was looking at installing and NDVI lens from peau productions into my existing vision+ camera body. I was wondering if anyone had tried this and what kind of results they had got. They show you how to install it here: My plan was to use Pix4D to process the images - and QGIS to do...

Thanks for the advice - I've already spent whole days trying to sort stuff on photoshop and Mapinfo :) We are a charity, so the annual cost is a bit steep even with a non-commercial discount.

Hi - I need to do some mapping with my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+. Just basic maps of wildlife reserves from multiple images. I've had a go with the free pix4D app and it's really good: Mission_00002_0001 by Pix4D SA. - 3D model Does anyone know of any other software that works with this model of...
