    iPad Mini 4 and the Phantom 4 Pro: Wifi or Cellular Version???

    Thanks for the info...if I get the iPad with cellular, does that mean I'll also have to have a data plan for it (in my case from Verizon)?

    IPAD MINI 4 Panic encounter.

    I am considering an iPad Mini 4 for my Phantom 4 Pro. I want to get the Wifi only version to save money. Not having cellular connection, what concerns might there be regarding the drone's capabilities? Will not having cellular data while flying affect GPS, intelligent flight modes, or anything...

    Phantom 4 Pro Excessively Fast Out of Box

    Found the other thread about this issue. Assuming then that it is a bug, is it safe to assume DJI will release a firmware fix for it...are they generally good at fixing all bugs such as this?

    Return To Home Altitude Setting Question

    I have my RTH altitude setting set to 40 meters, which is approximately 131 feet. I initiated a RTH from my controller today when I was at an altitude of 147 feet and about 1000 feet away. The quad stayed at 147 feet on its way back until it was overhead, then proceeded to land. Should it not...

    Video of my P4P over 60 mph in Sport Mode

    I experienced the same thing today with my P4P. It said I was consistently hitting 72 MPH in Sport mode, in absolutely no wind. If the units of measurement are wrong, if you convert 72 KPH to MPH, sure enough it's 45 MPH, which is the listed top speed. The flight log also shows max speed as...

    Phantom 4 Pro Excessively Fast Out of Box

    I thought of this as well. Especially since 72 KPH converts to about 45 MPH, which I agree definitely seems like more than a coincidence. But visually, and not that I have a radar gun in my forehead, this thing was screaming fast. Much faster visually than what 45 MPH normally looks like on...

    Phantom 4 Pro Excessively Fast Out of Box

    Unless I'm mistaken, lowering the expo setting will only increase the amount of time it takes to get to top speed. In DJI's specs, the top speed in S mode is listed as 45 MPH.

    Phantom 4 Pro Excessively Fast Out of Box

    I have the original Phantom 4 and it flies perfectly normal, as it should. Today I flew my Phantom 4 Pro, and I couldn't believe what happened. In P mode, I was consistently hitting speeds around 45 miles per hour (MPH, not KPH). In Sport mode, I was consistently reaching speeds of 72 MPH...

    Camera Adjustment Dial on Remote Controller Question

    Just found the answer in the manual...you can toggle between the exposure parameters by pressing on the camera dial.

    Camera Adjustment Dial on Remote Controller Question

    The exposure adjustment dial on the P4 remote controller seems to default to adjust the shutter speed, which is where I want it to be. However, on a couple of occasions, when I moved the dial, it changed the ISO setting, which I most definitely did not want. Why did it change what exposure...

    Phantom 4 and DJI Go app connection issue

    Thanks Rambo, I do that too and it still sometimes takes a few tries overall before the system connects. Most recently I rebooted the tablet, then it connected. Not sure if that really solved it or if it was a coincidence.

    P-mode acts like Sport Mode

    I had a similar problem. After only having my P4 for a couple of weeks, I would switch from P mode to Sport mode in flight, but after switching back to P, it would still fly as if it was in Sport mode. I would have to land, turn everything off, and restart to be able to go back to P mode...

    Phantom 4 and DJI Go app connection issue

    As the Phantom 4 manual states, I always turn on my remote controller first, then power up the P4. I already have my tablet turned on and connected to the controller. Usually if all goes as normal, the DJI Go app starts up on its own when I power on the hardware. But sometimes after turning...

    What role does 3G/4G data play with our drones?

    Is mobile data required in any way to fly our Phantoms (I have the 4). My tablet does have a mobile data account, but what if you had a tablet without mobile data. What purpose does mobile data play when it comes to our drones? Thanks all!
