    Phone rebooted during flight!

    Cheers John, yeah I found this one out...much to my relief! In hindsight, it makes perfect sense! Gradually building up my confidence after getting my P4 back in Jan this year. Good idea about the RTH and then cancel to take control back again!

    Phone rebooted during flight!

    Personal preference, essentially I like to debloat the phone and stay up to date with latest software and security fixes - and add some customisation. Phone was rooted before I got the P4.

    Gimbal overload/camera twitch

    I've seen it happen 2 or 3 times now - mid-air during flight. It hasn't been particularly windy these days...Although I was perhaps doing about 12-14m/s - possibly with a slight skew. Thanks for the info guys, seems like I'll need to keep a close eye on this to determine if is a fault.

    Gimbal overload/camera twitch

    So today I caught an error message on the screen which said something along the lines of gimbal overload and I saw the screen/camera twitch almost 90degrees...As if the drone had came to an immediate halt - apart from it wasn't, was still moving. I've saw this movement before and it had been...

    Phone rebooted during flight!

    So I was mid-flight had been watching on my phone screen and looked up to check my P4 - however when I looked back down I saw my splash screen on my phone! Heart stopped! ...face dropped! ...I'm running a custom ROM on my my Galaxy S7E and have forever been having trouble with my SD card....I...

    Sporadic uncontrolled movement

    Thought I recognised your nick. Hmmm, was a good few metres above anything, unless the water threw it off...But then it reversed - didn't go up. What's the normal avoidance technique?..can the P4 go up to avoid? I won't get a chance until weekend to check the log on the drone, its killing me...

    Sporadic uncontrolled movement

    What's VPS - vision positioning system? I thought that only picks up what's in front? Pretty sure it was all clear, there were some trees but over to the side. Funny you say that because I calibrated IMU that same day, hmmmm. Didn't appear to be any issues during calibration, never touched the...

    Sporadic uncontrolled movement

    ...Is this a common issue? What's the usual verdict? For what it's worth...it was a small stone arch bridge. I was maybe 3m out from the parapet over water when it reversed and certainly wasn't under anything blocking signal, at most maybe 0.5m below top of parapet level.

    Twitching / Sporadic Movement

    Ok, you can view flight log through GO 4 app - and enable controller/stick movement. This log shows the drone moved on its own accord - and me then pushing forward on stick to counter. Think I'll need to interrogate the log from the actual drone... Anyone have any recommendations as to how I...

    Sporadic uncontrolled movement

    Hi I (potentially incorrectly) posted this in the discussion thread seeking info on decoding flight logs:- Twitching / Sporadic Movement However I've since discovered using GO 4 app you can see stick movement when replaying the flight...I can see the drone move quickly back and my response on...

    Found Another Crack @115.5hrs..

    Hmm need to check out my P4 for this when I get home. I noticed last few battery changes had quite a 'reassuring' click into place even though pressing the release buttons. ...I like the solution of drilling holes, albeit not ideal.

    Twitching / Sporadic Movement

    Anyone ever encountered this with their P4? I had the drone in what I call safe mode - normal (non sport) mode and noticed the drone seemed to move/twitch on its own. It wasn't windy/gusty so can rule this out. ...I'm not 100% as I looked away briefly - but when I looked back, the drone was...

    Video Feed Issues

    I have Galaxy S7E and would only get this occasionally, maybe after taking a still - using GO 4 app. I had originally put it down to signal issue. I got those reflectors which seemed to help... However after updating to v1.8 and consequently updating the drone itself...The pink/green...
