    Controller screw size?

    Hi All, I had an amazing time in Hawaii and learned a lot about my Phantom 4. On my last take off, at the Makena State Park, Big Beach, Maui, I felt the little screw on my controller holding my display in place fall out into my foot, then into some vines on the beach. Anyone know the screw size?

    Airline travel today.

    Hi All! I'm a rookie Phantom 4 flyer. Just breezed through TSA screening and onboard a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Honolulu. Had two batteries, one in the aircraft, one in a LiPo case, all in my over-engineered dji backpack as a carry on. Looking forward to some great photos! Sent...

    Video downlink disconnected

    Mine was doing the same. I put on a new cable and just to go with belt and suspenders...added a pair of remote range parabolic boosters ($20 from BestBuy). Flew a solid hour with no disconnect. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

    Phantom 4 choppy video

    Controller disconnecting during flight.

    Hi All, I'm a rookie with my Phantom 4. I'm finding that it regularly disconnects during flight. The app displays "Disconnected" and the camera stops operating. What is odd is that the joysticks stick function. I tried shutting off the controller and restarting it while the aircraft is in flight...

    No camera rotation!?!

    Hi! New to flying my Phantom 4. Using beginner mode. Can't get the camera to rotate using the wheel on the controller. Up and down does work. Yes, I removed the foam pad around the camera. Am I missing something? Thanks. Bill Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots
