    Nice Storm Clouds

    Very nice. Here is mine from the other evening. Not as close. Had to come down due to the winds getting bad

    Top Speed Record. What's Yours?

    To answer the question of the thread: 61.1 mph. This was in S mode with a tail wind. To address some of the negativity here on flying fast. Everyone has their own reason. Some good and some bad. Some like myself time is valuable. Flying in S mode to/from a site in a rural area allows more time...

    NEW ! Phantom Rain Wet Suit Twilight Collection: Phantom 4 SERIES drones

    I fly from Nov 1 - Mar 1 once a day. I’ve been lucky so far. I just placed an order for the neon. Unfortunately before seeing this offer. Regardless, for some that must fly it’s cheap insurance. Even if it only improves water resistance a little.

    Phantom 4 firmware release today

    I’m on flight #6 with this FW. I got my first wind warning today at 200’. Surface winds calm. For me: Noticeable shorter to GPS latch time. Smoother hover and flights. Range appears unchanged. Only negative I can find. It seems be flying slower in P mode.

    Attaching dog tag on Phantom 4

    Yup, disregard. Didn’t realize compass sensors are there.

    Attaching dog tag on Phantom 4

    Are there minimum size requirements? How much info is required? If it’s minimal look into small copper tags. They are bendable and you can wrap it around a down arm on the landing gear. I attached a pic.

    Phantom 4 firmware release today

    Had the same error pop up three times that my device wasn’t compatible. I forgot exactly what it said. I just let it continue. And everything is fine. A couple of settings were changed that I had to reset. Nothing major. Took two flights and it does fly smoother. GPS appears to connect faster...

    Why does DJI say sports mode bad?

    Well the latest GO app update has me take a quiz. Thankfully I passed. No more sport mode full screen pop up. Or any pop up when entering S mode.

    Why does DJI say sports mode bad?

    Thanks. I’m fairly new to this. But this seems to be a reoccurring theme. Lesson learned.

    Why does DJI say sports mode bad?

    Yikes! I have had the pop up that I’m about to enter a no fly zone. Even though I’m about 2 miles from one.

    Why does DJI say sports mode bad?

    Thanks. I was only trying to report the annoying pop up that I didn’t get before until one of the recent app updates. Here is my reply. I haven’t heard a word back. This all took place over the last 72 hours. Thanks for the advice. I take off in P. To quickly get to my area of shooting...

    Why does DJI say sports mode bad?

    I notified DJI that on my iPhone 7 Plus when I enter into S mode I get a pop up that covers nearly the entire screen. I have to stop what I’m doing, hit OK, then I’m back in business. Anyway, this is the reply I got. Seems a little odd that they make sports mode as a selling point on their website.

    !! UPDATE !! Is anyone else having multiple problems with the latest DJI GO 4 update ??

    When changing from P to S mode. I will get a pop up in the middle of the screen warning me if the hazards of S mode. I have to hit OK or it won’t clear. Doesn’t sound too safe to have this pop up causing me to miss most of the screen while flying at 40 mph.
