    Drone Eclipse?

    I'm planning on shooting the eclipse as a member of a citizen-scientist project (eclipse mega-movie) and also launch my Inspire 2 up 400' to video the changing lighting during totality. I won't be shooting directly at the sun with the drone. The sun's inclination will be about 48 degrees in west...

    Phantom 4 Controller Will Not Fully Charge

    Exactly the same path I was on, identical symptom. They allegedly "fixed" it, charged me for a battery replacement (out of warranty due to antenna mod.) They actually sent me a new controller, minus my antenna mod. Now, the replacement controller is doing exactly the same thing. I'm suspecting...

    Curious, have you done the latest firmware update?

    Phantom 4 Controller not fully charging

    Same problem here. Some months ago, the controller would stop charging, usually about 3 lights into the process, it would quit. Got the repair ticket, paid $85 for the repair (out of warranty, of course) and have it back, and it's worse! I got a few flights in, drawing the battrery down to...

    I have the same issue now, what was your eventual fix?

    Phantom 4 Controller Will Not Fully Charge

    Thanks for the guidance..I think there's something wrong with the charging circuit I, which probably doesn't have much bearing on the controller's overall performance, which I'm seeing none of. The reset function probably won't help, but at least I can cross that off my list as I continue down...

    Phantom 4 Controller Will Not Fully Charge

    Thanks for that input, this issue appears to have developed after recent upgrade to controller firmware ver 1.8.0. Before I jump through the DHI repair hoops, I'd like to make sure that a reset won't work, if that makes any sense. On another forum thread, that was suggested by someone with DJI...

    Phantom 4 Controller Will Not Fully Charge

    Has anyone had any resolved controller battery charging issues? My controller doesn't like to get to a full charge now, usually shuts off about 60-70% charge. I see a handful of complaints about this, but no resolution. Possible fixes include reseting the controller itself. I've tried to reset...

    Warning on display??? Please help

    Was out flying some video shoots and noticed this warning today, like you guys I really had to concentrate to read the entire message. Weird little nuisance. I'm thinking about buying an Inspire 2, maybe I should sooner than later.

    Prop flew off

    Agreed....there could have easily been a weakening of one of the spring-loaded tabs on the hub that could cause a prop to depart. Overly judgmental and rude.

    Phantom 4 Controller Long Press Functionality

    Hi all, question for everyone smarter than I...I'm reading in various places (but not in official publications put out by Litchi and DJI) that the right control wheel, when long pressed, is supposed to switch the camera between auto and manual modes. My controller is not working that way - is...

    Phantom 4 - Video downlink issue after 1.8.0 remote update

    I rolled the DJI Go app (IOS) to 3.01 and that took care of the weak video transmission issue. Works fine in radio channel in Auto now.

    Downgrade DJI go app 3.0.2 to 3.0.1. Please help!

    I ended up having to downgrade to 3.01 for loss of video signal issues. I used Charles Web Proxy version 3.11.2, which was the same version in the video tutorial noted above. Their latest version (4.01 I believe) is significantly changed such that I couldn't follow the steps well enough to make...

    Dji Go 3.0.2 issue

    I also had problems with 3.02 getting constant loss of video transmission signals, even at close ranges. Downgraded the controller firmware, reinstalled 3.02, no help. It appeared that the auto radio channel selection mode was broken, as using the channel custom mode and manually picking a...
