    Which companion for a Phantom 4

    I have a bid on eBay for a Mini 2 fly more at the moment, so waiting to see where that goes. The Air 2S would be a good drone, but in the UK falls into the same classification as the P4 so, although being more portable still gives me the same operator restrictions, whereas the Mini series...

    Which companion for a Phantom 4

    Possibly, but I am not a photographer so I really don't need the highest-spec camera there is, also the Mini 3 is still too expensive for my deep Scottish pockets!!!. I do enjoy getting the P4 up for some photogrammetry and making models though. The mini is purely to have some fun and allow me...

    Which companion for a Phantom 4

    I also looked at the mini 3, but it's a bit too expensive at the moment for my budget, similarly, the Air 2s is still pretty expensive. Also, the Air 2s is in the same category as the P4 in the UK so I don't gain any extra use cases with it, other than portability. The Mini 2 just about fits...

    IMU 1: Calibration Failed. Cannot calibrate at Current Temperature (Error Code-13

    You have probably seen all the answers on the web by now, but I just read a thread on the Tello Pilots site that suggests the battery can cause this issue if it is not on good health. https://tellopilots.com/threads/error-code-13.5084/ Clutching at straws, but you never know! Hope you get this...

    Which companion for a Phantom 4

    I have a friend with the first Mavic mini and the fly more combo, I could probably get a good deal off him as he is looking to upgrade to the Mini 2 so he can get the Smart RC. But I know the mini 1 is already outdated. I recently discovered the Mavic Air 2s, it's a little out of my budget...

    Have you tried the calibration function through DJI Assistant 2 on a PC?

    Unfortunately, the bike is already going to be fully loaded, the old man and I are taking the Motorcycles around the Outer Hebrides for a week so will be stacked up with camping kit. A mini would fit nicely in the tank bag and I can attach the controller to the handlebars for recording on the go.

    Interesting, I didn't realise there was that much of a difference between then. I will keep an eye open for a good deal on a used Mini 2 then I guess.

    Which companion for a Phantom 4

    Good afternoon everyone. I just tried to sell my P4 in order to free up some cash to get a smaller drone to take with me on the motorcycle.. however I couldn't bring my self to do it.. I very quickly realised that everything I dislike about the size of the Phantom I would miss when trying to...

    Phantom 4 Battery problem

    What software is this and how does one get hold of it? As I mentioned above, I actually resolved my issue as it was a physical problem with the battery.

    Phantom 4 Battery problem

    I realise that this is well old by now but I thought I would update this thread. I managed to resolve this issue. I pulled the battery apart and the problem was the main red wire had come away from the PCB. SO I re-soldered and bought a new battery enclosure from eBay, put it all back together...

    Phantom 4 Battery problem

    Yes, I am also thinking the battery is the issue. Is there a way to test the battery? or reset it if it has gone into a failsafe mode?

    Phantom 4 Battery problem

    yes, the drone flies and operates as it should with the battery, and the other battery takes a full charge as well.

    Phantom 4 Battery problem

    Good morning all, I have an issue with one of my batteries. When checking the level it displays 3x green lights, but when I connect it to the drone, the battery starts as you would expect, but the drone doesn't power on. When connecting the battery to the charger, it flashes as if it is...
