I am over in the UK and bought mine from a shop called Argos. This is now the 2nd replacement I have had. The first one had a fault on the Remote Controller and then the fault on this one. I am almost certain that the first one I had also had the strange noises on the camera and gimbal. That...

Hi - I also decided to return my drone. It was swapped without issue and new one is fine (so far !!) One thing I noticed straightaway is that the gimbal / camera does not make any noise. My faulty one used to make a click and creaking noise - but I think it always did. I just assumed this is...

Any luck with this yet? Mine is still doing the same?

Hi Andre Mine is only a couple of months old and has worked perfectly until the latest firmware update. Mine has now developed a bit of a twitch too. Not as much as yours but still there. Will watch this thread with interest to see how to sort it. Thanks. BMP

I have an iPhone 7 plus with phantom 4 and it works fine - no issues. No different to the iPhone 6 Plus. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Yes - I think it would probably be a very simple software update for them. As someone else said, if taking off near water or a cliff or anything get 20 to 30 metres away asap. At least we know now about this "feature".

I posted a very similar thread the other day and got similar responses. It really is a stupid function that does not make sense. Return to home should mean "Return to Home" In my case it turned out I had a faulty Remote Controller but if I had taken off over water I would have lost the drone...

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. It confirms what I thought. Be nice if that was an option to change. If I took off yesterday from the edge of a lake or on a pier I would have lost the drone. Good news today is that the shop I bought it from exchanged everything because I had only had it for 2 weeks.

Sorry if this has already been answered - couldn't find it with search. If return to home is triggered within 20 or 30 metres of home the drone will land at that point - 20 or 30 metres away. Why ? Why doesn't it return to the home point set ? Can this be changed? I am a new Phantom 4...

I will look at one of those. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks

They sound like some great places to travel to and I am sure will make some amazing videos.

Thanks everyone for the replies and the support. Finally had 10 minutes this morning in "normal" mode (beginner turned off). I was really surprised with the difference. I assumed that beginner mode just restricted the height and the distance. It appeared to be much more responsive and quicker...

Good advice - thanks ! Had a couple more flights in beginner mode - not quite brave enough to move on yet. Hopefully by the weekend.

Thanks. There is so much to learn !! I have always been interested in photography and video so I am looking forward to that side but not even thinking about that yet. More concerned about learning to fly (and land) at the moment.
