That pic jogged my memory, yes you're missing the thin black hold down bar. I don't know what your financial situation is but you'd be so much better off with something like this...

I say this to every NEWB, tell us what town you're in and maybe you can meet up with someone that can help you get started. I have this drone, but not home this week, but I think that gimbal will only hold an older GoPro, which one do you have?

Whether you return this drone and get another, I'd let the community know where you're located and maybe an experienced pilot will volunteer to go out with you for your first flight, so you can avoid the pitfalls we've all experienced. I have done this for others. No matter how much you study...

In my experience, 4 years ago the P4 controller would not work with my tablet, that used USB-C. I had to return my new iPad Mini 6 because it used a USB-C cable and would not work with my P4p controller. If I remember correctly, I tried a USB A to USB C adaptor and it didn't work. Not sure why...

Let us know where you are and maybe someone will go out with you when you fly to give you some pointers. I've done it for a few people.

Try a DJI Avata, probably find a used Avata 1 cheaply, you’ll get hooked, I did

You’ll get immediate satisfaction and ability if you go with a DJI Avata. I’m a longtime DJI Phantom, Mavic pilot and I wanted to get into FPV and built a cinewhoop. You have to spend a lot of time on the sim learning to fly and then get the right setup on the drone, it’s complicated and flight...

If I’m remembering correctly the GPS antenna is mounted to the center inside of the top shell. You can test this by placing your hand over the center of the top shell after you’ve turned on the drone and it has connected to satellites. You should see the satellite count drop when your hand is...

You could buy an outboard video camera & transmitter like this, Amazon.com : RunCam Spotter V2 FPV Camera and Transmitter Kit, 5.8G Micro AIO Cam, OSD, Integrated Mic, FOV170 Degree 700TVL, 40CH, 20MW-200MW Adjustable : Electronics You'd have to wire in power from the drone battery, tho. You...

I'm pretty positive that any iPad with USB C port will not work. I bought an iPad mini 6 and had to return it as it wouldn't work with my Phantom 4 Pro. There are threads that say using a particular USB-A to USB-C adaptor will work, but I didn't find that to be true. I wound up buying an iPad...

Here's the video, I did it 4 times and each time it would revert back to not complete charging. I eventually sent it back to DJI and for $99 they repaired it...well they sent me back a new/refurbished one. I'm not sure if they're still doing that with the state of things with DJI and the...

Tripltek is pricey. I used an iPad Mini 4 or 5 with my P4. You might be able to pick up a refurbished one from Apple that has a fresh battery. Not nearly as bright as the Tripltek but you can get a hood for it from Hoodman

Why am I constantly asked to sign in to see videos, when I'm already signed in?

I reflowed my controller 3x, it worked for a bit, then reverted. Finally sent it back to DJI, they sent me a new one for $99

If you're trying to repair the remote, DJI will give you a new one if you send it in for repair, $99. I messed around with mine reflowing that chip, worked for a while then reverted to not charging fully.
