When I bought my P4P it came with a leaflet enclosed, explaining the UK "drone code". This is a couple of years ago now, however. A few things have changed in the mean time, such as compulsory registration, and I'd be interested to know if updated information is enclosed now, at least in the UK...

But wasn't this test subject to some scrutiny as well? As far as I can remember they fired the drone at the wing of a light aircraft at speeds that exceeded even that of an airliner during descent. It basically showed the worst conceivable outcome of a collision and wasn't exactly super...

I must admit I agree with DJI on that part, as well as the rest of the letter. They stripped all the heavy bits off the drone and condensed it all in to a high velocity lump. Surely that will have more impact than a drone in its original form where the load is spread across the structure. I'm...

I'm not the only one who saw the carbon rods. Read this open letter to the BBC from DJI https://www.commercialdroneprofessional.com/in-full-djis-open-letter-to-the-bbc/

I watched the whole programme. Could someone forward a link for it to Adam Savage and Jamie Hynemann, I'm sure they'd get a good laugh out of this! The impact experiment was laughable at best! They fired ballistics gel at an old aircraft wing part to demonstrate the air cannon, and then...

My tuppence: when the M2P came out I was momentarily thinking the unthinkable - is this the time that maybe I stick my P4P on the market and replace it with the M2P? I live in Scotland and go hiking in the hills a lot so the M2P sounds like the perfect package. I mainly do still photos as well...

Indonesia is pretty relaxed when it comes to drones. A few guidelines to abide by though, much like any other country. Stay below 150m, stay clear of any military installations, airports and sites of religious significance. Don't fly near crowds and fly during daylight only. Enjoy Bali mate :)...

Haha, this reminds me of a flight I had at the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. Old couple and their Jack Russell. Similar kind of conversation, and the old chap was genuinely taken aback by what this gizmo is capable of. He asked if I could bring the craft in a bit for a closer look and was...

I have the Manfrotto D1 and can't fault it. It's an older bag that was actually designed for Phantom 2 and 3 but it fits my P4P V1 just fine. A year ago you'd be looking at £160 for the bag but it can now be had for under £100 (mine was £86) . It fits my drone, four batteries (one in the drone)...

Is your firmware up to date? My P4P was doing the same thing but it went away after the last update.

Iceland was part of Denmark, but I think you'll find they've been running their own show for quite some time. The link you provided seems to apply to mainland Denmark. It doesn't mention anywhere outwith the country from what I could see. At a stretch I'd imagine it might affect Greenland and...

Fines for smoking on the beach??? What part of Thailand did you visit?

It looks like those with built in screens are left last in line for some reason. Not what you'd really expect when you've paid for the most expensive version of the phantoms...

Good news for us android users. Pano is here! Updated DJI Go4 just now and fired the drone up to check, and there it was!

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Was my first flight after the FW update. I too would be interested to know what the deal is with this.
