    REMOTE ID P4P V2

    Strange that—they “sell” two P4’s; one is this one and the other is the RTK. The P4P 2.0 is currently “out of stock” in all permutations for the foreseeable future. This is (I believe) still a line they believe in and plan to continue. If they don’t issue some sort of patch that might indicate...

    Odd Camera Motion on P4v2.0+

    Thank you all--I will go look for it while lovely rains ground me for a few days... Any idea what this setting is called, and why you would want it in the first place?

    Odd Camera Motion on P4v2.0+

    Quick question. Has anyone ever noticed that yawing the drone (left stick going right and left in Mode 2) at first moves the gimble side-to-side? Not a lot, but several degrees. There is no corresponding result when moving either right or left stick forward or backward. Less of an issue on...

    phantom 4 pro or dji mavic pro 2

    I fly both the M2P and Phantom4Pro2.0. I agree with all that others have said--especially concerning quieter Mavic noise and better portability--but one other thing is important if you are shooting moving targets. The Phantom has a mechanical shutter that helps to prevent rolling shutter...

    What is the minimum distance Visual obstacle avoidance will alllow in tripod mode- P4P-v2?

    If proximity is an issue, remember that you can always just turn OAS off. I have done it numerous times with no problems. You should always be able to see the drone anyway, and if sight angles are an issue use a spotter to give you another vantage point. (Especially during summer months, one’s...

    Banjul, Do let us know if you have any success. I was really interested in the YouTube link above since it seemed legit and “plausible.” Regardless, I hope you succeed

    Seems to me that that was exactly what Bunjil was doing--starting to do some reasearch. Let's hope your reply didn't shut him/her down. This, for example, might have been one way to start.... FINALLY! How To Easily Install Pix4D, Litchi, etc on Phantom 4 Pro Plus REMOTE!

    Hello from Northern California

    Good morning, Will. Where in NorCal are you? I am in Sonoma Cty (Santa Rosa) and always looking around for someone to fly with.

    3rd Party Apps & Google Play Store

    Yeah--I was thinking about that and agree that it is probably the best solution. It was just one of those things that was taking up a lot of my time for the irritating reason that "it is supposed to work...!" Thanks, guys.

    3rd Party Apps & Google Play Store

    I started with one question: now I have two. I have been unable to get B4UFly and Airmap onto my GL300K through Google Plays Store or App Store as it keeps telling me (incorrectly) that the device is not tied to my account (it is). It then suggests a newer website but when I click on it I get...

    Is it worth sending in a crashed P4P to DJI for a repair price quote?

    INTERESTING!! That was what they told me! Complete with pictures of things that were so tiny I'd never have noticed. They specifically mentioned the landing gear issue and the gimbal yaw motor. Below is the list of issues they sent me, starting with the one item I'd alerted them to, the...

    Is it worth sending in a crashed P4P to DJI for a repair price quote?

    Wow--I think in one of the photos I did see a prop you could part out.... Seriously, I am sorry this happened to you. My two cents on sending it in to DJI Repair: I had to send one in last summer. I am the second owner after an "unofficial sale," meaning DJI was not in that loop. The issue...

    Phantom 4 Pro Plus

    Ayuh...I also will hope that BigAl107 or some other will be able to get you answers, but one thing I noticed that you've not mentioned is that the map screen (bottom left of your app screen) shows nothing. You showed perfectly good sat connection and your signal meters (upper right) didn't...

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 camera settings walkthru question/frustrations

    I often wander this earth feeling that I have no idea what people are talking about, but as I read your original post all I could think was that the answers to your questions are in the users manual. There is a lot of detail there and it might at least get you on your way. I agree with you that...

    Some Shore Shots

    Nice. I particularly like the last one: it almost looks like a fractile of some sort.
