P4 batteries on hand?

[jsposito]

Taking a poll asking how many extra batteires P4 owners use? They are a bit expenseive and am willing to no more than 3 total.

4 so far but will be adding a 5th in the near future.

That should keep me going without breaks till my iPad mini 4/controller run out.

I'll fly while resting/charging the spent batteries in succession.

2....... works fine for me so far.

Unless you got shed loads of money I'd say 3 is perfect.

It really depends on how long you want to fly. I have 3. It's not difficult to burn through all of them.

I purchased 3 extra. Do I vote as 1-3 or as 3-6?

Only 1 for me at the moment can't afford a second yet :-(

 

[matsarg]

I have 4!

 

[MrJonesDroneFootagez]

I have three and I can get all the footage I need with 2. 3 is overkill for me

 

[Sprtbkryder]

I don't have any batteries yet still saving up for one!!

 

[cmelby76]

Professional I always keep 4 in my bag.

I have had days recently where I'll have two jobs in one day and I Shoot photos and video on every job. Unless the realtor says I only need photos.

I've actually just purchased 2 additional slightly used batteries to have just in case.

On a windy day shoot a large property with photos and video, two rounds I can easily burn 2 batteries in one job.

I have purchased a couple of new batteries on eBay without pen package for $80.

If you're making money flying it just makes sense.

If you're not, 2-3 should be fine.

Looks like I will be sticking with 2 batteries - max 3. I keep everything in pristine condition and it's just a matter of time b4 I sell and buy the next best thing so I'll probably take a deeper loss with the xtra batteries. ( I get bored so fast). Since you shoot for a realtor I'd imagine you get closer, much closer than I do and no doubt you have found your perfect camera settings.

I have 6, my backpack has six slots for batteries so I felt obligated to fill them. I rotate three at a time in hopes of prolonging their life.

Got 5 but the next batteries I buy will be the high capacity ones
Nothing is to expensive for this hobby lol
