I always use polarizing filters on my Phantoms and Air 2 when flying over water to remove glare and reflections. It works very well just by setting the angle before flight, just view the water onscreen then turn filter until reflection is reduced. You'll eventually find a sweet spot that covers...

Big and noisy but I still love em. They sure can carry some weight too.

Glad they're coming up with solutions, drones are definitely the future of warfare.

What physical damage from the crash? Any broken parts visible? Even hard landings can break the fragile ribbon cables, most commonly the one from the gimble. You may have to open it up to look for disconnected cables, breaks are often undetectable by eye though. If this is not doable for you...

Agree as above, simple reflectors are cheap and effective. Aiming them at your drone is the trick as you are concentrating the signal from your remote. BUT, that signal will be less off to the sides and behind you.

Enjoy your work.. Nice to see the old bird still has wings.

Wow, somebody just got a steal .. congrats

Guess I should have remembered that glitch, anyway, glad you're half way there. I'm done with the P3 series so hopefully one of the other old timers can solve your current delema. GL

As noted, updates are never required for a properly working drone and can cause more problems than they fix. Take the advice to downgrade the firmware to the original or other recommended ones. Good luck

Quite the save, thanks for posting. I assume others will ask for logs of that flight to discover the cause. Will be waiting for their replies as it's of interest to many of us here.

Cheap enough on ebay

Delete and reinstall the GO4 app? That's where auto T&L is located and can't hurt anything, unlike updating firmware can.

Those type mounts can be placed behind the camera with the laser mounted on top of it pointing down. Shouldn't interfere with camera, or takeoff and landing. Even if laser is strapped to a leg, ballance and weight shouldn't be an issue.

You'd be flying blind. The P4P can carry a lot of weight so putting the laser below the camera might be a better solution.
