    Usb - C to Lightning Cable adapter for P4 V1

    I haven't tried that adaptor, but tried others to no avail. I returned my iPad Mini 6 that used USB-C and bought a Mini 5 that uses lightning. If you search for iPad mini and P4p V1, you'll see a few threads on the subject.

    Is it a bad idea to buy P4P V2.0 in 2023 ?

    The P4p is a great drone. Never let me down. You’d need to get an RID module to be FAA compliant. I know a lot of guys like the P4p for mapping. I also have an Air2s and haven’t touched the P4p since.

    RC Won't Charge

    Phantom 4p remotes had a problem where they would never charge fully, 4 lights. My remote would charge to 75% and be dead after flying 3-4 drone batts. There's a Youtube video that shows you how to take apart the remote and reflow a particular component on the main board. I did that a few...

    New Tablet

    Yes the Mini 5 works with my P4P V1 using Go4 and my Air2s Using DJI Fly. The reason I bought the Mini 6 was because the Air2s using DJI Fly wouldn't work with the Mini 4...only to find out that the P4P V1 wouldn't work with the Mini 6, so I took it back to Apple and bought a Mini 5 which works...

    Remedy for "strobing" prop shadows

    I had a Phantom 2 with a GoPro on a gimbal which had the same issue. After watching a video, I made a lens hood from a plastic cup in the shape of an oval, when cut in half, made the perfect shaped hood. Stuck it on with 3M double sided tape, worked perfectly. It may take some trial and error to...

    New Tablet

    I have this sun shield https://www.amazon.com/Hoodman-Drone-Aviator-hood-iPad/dp/B01CEP215A?th=1 It's the best! Mine came with an extension that allows you to press it up against your face, but I rarely use it.

    New Tablet

    I'd just bought the iPad Mini 6 only to find it wouldn't work with my P4p. I tried USB-C to USB adaptors that others recommended, didn't work with the P4p V1. I returned the Mini 6 and bought a Mini 5.

    I really need some basic . . . low level help

    Make sure you hit record on GO4 as that’s where some issues show themselves.

    The iPad Mini 6 didn't work with my P4p Version 1. Something about the way data is transferred via USB C which the iPad 6 uses. I tried the recommended adaptor USB C to USB and it still didn't work. It will work with the P4p V2. I took back the iPad Mini 6 and bought a 5. Apple didn't have any...

    P4 “Not Connected” msg on iPad 6 mini. Does connect to iPhone 11…..?

    I have a P4p ver. 1, same problem will not work with IPad mini 6. I tried the work arounds, USB to USB C adapter that someone posted, still won’t work. I returned the Mini 6 and bought a mini 5. Apple didn’t have any Mini 5’s, found it on-line at Walmart

    Help me make a decision...

    I have a P4p that I used to travel with until I purchased a refurb, like new, Air 2s. It’s so compact, I can throw it in my backpack with other camera gear. There are some cons to the Air2s, can’t adjust aperture, but some of the automated modes just make it so easy to get great shots when you...
