P4P FIRST FLIGHT reports

[John Locke]

OK guys, I'm seeing craft in transit to waiting pilots, and a few of you have these wonderful new birds in your hands. I'm chomping at the bit to see reports, photos, and video. Who's got an android device to be first with reports?

 

[TMBAerial]

I'm suppose to get the P4P some time tomorrow. I do run android devices. I'll try to put something informative together ASAP.

No actual report but a fairly good utube demonstration just the wrong language for me . It's a good teaser

Sorry won't let me post link

This one has some pretty good free flight in it

I have to say I am kinda thinking the P4P+ might have been the way to go.. That screen is awesome.

Yes, it is nice, but too small IMO. I think the 7.8" CrystalSky is even more awesome, assuming it works as advertised. It's got the SD card slots in the display, it's own battery, and it's quickly detachable to use a player for SD cards to feed HDMI video to anything, like a bigscreen TV, projector, goggles, etc, not to mention there's a 2000nit option. That's going to be the Cadillac of display to have, I think. I expect it to be pricy in the beginning, but in a couple years, much less.

I think depleting an android system of all the Google play services that's part of every android sold, and can run in the background, this helps to optimize the platform, providing maximum CPU bandwidth to focus on decoding video feeds from the craft, with no interruptions from non-essential apps running in the background. I'm convinced that a semi-closed system like this will work well with GO4.

Who's flying their new P4P today? Videos?

Agreed, as long as I can eventually run Litchi on it (once it supports the P4P). Anyone know the estimated price / availability timeframe for the 7.8 ChrystalSky?

Yes, I need Litchi to run too, and I think that will happen. I predict that by the time the CrystalSky product is released we'll have answers on running Litchi, hopefully joyful answers.
