    P4P not connecting to my Samsung galaxy S22 Ultra phone.

    In my experience nothing DJI produces connects with anything Android other than their CrystalSky screens - and if you use the CrystalSky screen - that fails to connect to the Internet if you need to do so - for the purpose of using the DJI Unlock system for operating in restricted areas - for...

    Temporary? New Zealand recreational flight ban!

    We too, have our form of the "Stasi" here in the UK. I long ago retired as a police officer, but do not like what my former colleagues are now expected to do. I see no problems whatsoever in people flying drones anywhere, as long as they comply with the safety regulations that any responsible...

    Extreme Flickering in Video Mode

    I have had- and keep having on start-up - a similar problem with my P4P - now about 2 years old. I have found by trial and error, that in my opinion - the problem is with the flexible ribbon that connects the camera through the gimbal to the internal mechanisms. I manipulate/palpate the...

    Drone landed in 2 inches of sea water. Gimbal does not work, camera does not work, aircraft constantly disconnect

    Writing as a pro cameraman - I can tell you that salt-water and sand are a complete "no-no" for camera welfare purposes, and most unfortunately you have probably "knackered" the gimbal/camera set up. Salt water is very corrosive. Sand is very abrasive . Get it to a competent repairer ASAP -...

    Aircraft Encoder Error (20)

    I have flown my P4P for several hours after Start Ups with this Error Message after which it says Contact DJI if it persists after re-starting. I have contacted DJI Support who are not terribly helpful, other than advising me to send the drone to their repair centre in Amsterdam. This is the...

    Where do I stand

    I appreciate your problem having had a similar experience. I was accused of having flown onto a next door neighbours property, but was able to prove from the DJI Telemetry that I had not, and had not "violated" anybody else's airspace. It's not worth a "verbal fight" ! If people have an issue...

    First Drone Video - Askøy, Norway

    The camera work is really excellent . The length of each shots depends on your audience and how long you want the video to be. Generally 2 minutes total is long enough, but try to stick with 4/5 seconds for each scene , unless there is action you need to show . If you cut it to the beat of the...

    First Drone Video - Askøy, Norway

    Camerawork excellent, but video far too long and boring music. Edit and cut to the beat of the music and make each scene 3-4 seconds max ! Am a pro cameraman. Liked the shots !

    Zebra stripes on view

    The stripes are known in the industry as "Zebras" and notify over-exposure to light in those areas. You can turn off the "Over-Exposure" Warning in Warnings - or the more accurate thing to do is close down the Aperture to let in less light ! Good luck
