    Buy a P4 in 2020?

    I sold my P4 Std 18 months ago and really miss it. I've just bought a Mavic Air 2 but have the opportunity to buy a near-new P4 Std...should I splash out? The $$ isn't the issue, but am I potentially buying an outdated dog that I'll regret once the nostalgia wears out? Thoughts?

    Replacing P4 Gimbal/Camera Unit

    My camera unit was replaced due to a lens focus issue. I watched the tech do it - the only thing he did after the hardware was replaced was a firmware update. I don't believe it was a drone update, it seemed to be to bring the camera unit up to date.

    Buying Phantom 4? (Newbie plz help)

    Sorry. I can't help you with other manufacturers at this stage as my research is in its initial stages. I'd advise you to start reading the Phantom 4 forum over at DJI.com - good research and information if you're in the market for a drone.

    Buying Phantom 4? (Newbie plz help)

    Right now, based on the contempt DJI is showing to the Phantom 4 community, I'd recommend you look at devices from other manufacturers. I won't be buying DJI again. Not unless something miraculous happens from DJI.

    "Update your data" prompt from DJI GOv4

    I noticed this too...as I was doing some other testing around the 4K camera reset issue at the time I thought, why not, let's hook up the drone as instructed and see what happens. What happended - nothing. All my data was obviously pleasing to the app and the message went away without any other...

    Gimbal when turned off

    Hi folks, Silly question time - today I noticed that my Phantom 4 Standard's gimbal moves easily from left to right when the drone is turned off. This seemed odd - I could have sworn there was always some resistance to left and right movement - in fact I thought it held itself quite sturdy on...

    Random Camera System Reset - P4 Standard

    New firmware is working very well for me. NVidia Shield K1 no longer crashes DJI Go at all, even during 20 minute + of flying. The camera still craps out at 4K 30fps, but at least the flight performance is great. Tripod mode is great too!
