Yep, simple rc calibration instructions in GO app under remote control. Don't forget the gimble wheel and to hit finish when done or you'll have to do over each time it's turned on.

You don't need the drone or camera to calibrate the remote, just the device connected to rc and GO app. Follow calibration instructions under remote controls, hit finish, go fly. If no screen when connecting to your phone or tablet, that's a different problem. Sometimes just moving the sticks...

If the drone works using the firmware it came with, don't update unless required to operate. Updates sometimes cause more grief than they're worth.

Any motor warnings in logs? Appears 1 or more are not holding speed after takeoff. Spin by hand to check for binding or check for an overheated motor after lawn darts game. Better yet, you can lock the drone down to the ground or table, run it up to speed and visually look for a motor failure...

Don't forget about the bottom sensor, a safety feature when landing. Anything in the way could cause the drone to rise uncommanded to crazy heights. Some aftermarket camera/gimble guards did the same thing.

Great idea, I do the same with my P4's. Unlike Mavics, Phantoms can lift a pretty heavy load. In fact, I'm using mine for fishing today.

DJI Fly? Makes no sense. Suggest contacting DJI customer support directly

Well that was easy

If you like big drones stick with the P4 series. They're available at very reasonable cost and batteries will be available for quite a while longer. P3P was a good drone but not good enough anymore, unless you already own one.

These batteries have a few little batteries (cells) inside, if just one fails the battery is toast. With lipos it's 'use it or lose it', that includes regular recharges to maintain in working condition. Sorry but you will need to find replacements to fly again.

I use a Gannet Sport bait dropper. It has adjustable tension so line is released with a quick tug of the rod or putting reel in gear during flight. It's small and light weight. They have an RC release model, XSport, as well. To keep the fishing line well away from the drone, a drop line is...

My droppers are centrally located, not from the side or legs. Bait is dropped on site then fly back. Auto release avoids disaster from bird strike or entanglement, hard tug and line comes free. Fighting a fish by drone too exciting for me, but probably fun to watch.

The pendulum is reduced by a longer drop line, closer to drone it increases. I use my Phantoms for fishing and find at 20’ the swing is negligible. Of course the other end of the line is attached to a fishing reel. Releasing the line depends on the type of release mechanism used, tension or by...

He can move sticks around back,forth,up down to temporarily stop lights and beeping but think a GO4 reinstall needed as well.
