    Remote ID Options

    Looks like this is the unit I'll have to purchase for my standard Phantom 4. Anyone suggest a good position on the P4 before I start experimenting with it? AD

    3rd-partry battery suggestion

    Hmm, looks like I'll have to be taking a look at the Amazon thing. I'm down to my finally battery (out of 5) that is serviceable now and will be needing a few more shortly. AD

    Anyone in South Florida know a good place that is safe and legal to fly? Tired of problems...

    I am. Down in Punta Gorda, usually out over the Rim Canal, Ponce Inlet and most of the harbor up to the US41 bridges. AD

    What next after Phantom 4 Pro?

    Interesting discussion. My P4 is getting a little bit long in the tooth and it's only a matter of time before I'll be needing a replacement. AD

    What's the issue with P4 batteries?

    After reading the rest of the messages in this thread I've gone ahead and "pin pricked" the 5 swollen batteries and did 5 test flights with them last night. All five batteries ran well and I brought them down to 12% before shutting down and changing out for the next battery. All five are...

    What's the issue with P4 batteries?

    Coming in late to the conversation but all five of my OEM batteries for the P4 have swollen and are now basically not useable. Granted they all have at least 100 cycles on them and the voltages all looked good the last time they were used. They were never charged hot and are kept indoors and...

    P4 update.

    My AC is 2.00.0810 RC is 1.9.3 01.17 for both of the databases I generally update about a week after I first see the notice to update. Haven't had any problems that I'm aware of. Running a standard P4 with no modifications to anything. AD

    Maximum Idle Time

    Hmm. This sounded like a good idea. Too bad I started it late at night. As it turns out I finished at 1:30am. A standard P4 with all software updates. My number 2 battery with 115 cycles on it. Running an iPhone 6S as the monitor. Hopefully this will format correctly on the screen from my...

    Maximum Idle Time

    I wondered about that too and I believe I may have some free time tomorrow to just fire the P4 up and let it idle on the ground until the battery hits 15% or so. Thanks for putting the idea back in my head. AD
