    Here ya go... I watched the whole thing again!

    Method for specific flight path

    Untrue. OA is fully functional. The problem is that with Litchi missions the heading is quite often different than the course the aircraft is flying, so the OA cameras aren't pointed in the direction of flight, resulting in crashes.

    Replacing P4 Gimbal/Camera Unit

    I've done it, it was dirt simple for anyone with very basic electronics assembly skills. Just ribbon cables and molex connectors, and screws. Anyone can do it. I strongly recommend getting a new assembly directly from DJI, $379. I tried eBay, had to get a refund from the scammer the first time...

    Litchi

    @swoserin, place POIs first, before waypoints if at all possible. Then, when placing waypoints, Litchi will automatically configure the WP to look at the nearest POI, saving you from having to configure it. All you have to do is set WP altitude. Then only the WP exceptions require any fiddling...

    Litchi and gear vr

    Incompatible. There is no way to connect the USB cable from the RC to the phone with the Gear VR stock. You can use it, but you have to dremel one of the clamps that holds the phone in to make a hole for the usb plug. While there is a USB-C receptacle on the Gear VR, it doesn't pass through data...

    Stay away from the Parrot Disco if you are thinking about buying it.

    Well, I think you're over-reacting a bit. While the "serious" Parrot drones might have issues (I have no idea, as I have no experience or second-hand knowlege), I've personally had perfect success with the Mambo, one of their higher-end "toy" drones. Other Mambo owners seems to be pretty happy...

    Not a DJI drone flight - A CRAZY flight

    Actually, Tommy (that's his name) is deaf dumb and blind. But he sure plays a mean pinball. :p:D

    I think it's on pornhub. No question it's drone porn. :D

    P4 Firmware v02.00.0106 Released (2017-07-06)

    Send it back in and demand they fix it. I've replaced the entire camera assembly on my P4, and it's dirt-simple. I can't imagine any way to damage or crack the main body in the process. Really. They must have had a (poorly) trained Macaque perform the repair or something. At the Southern...

    Can you combine the intelligent flight modes?

    You can achieve these same results by simulating Tripod Mode by adjusting GAIN, EXP, and SENSITIVITY in the Advanced tab of the RC section in settings. In fact, Tripod Mode essentially just does exactly this. Then, you can use Course Lock or Focus POI to keep the camera pointed at the subject...

    Can you combine the intelligent flight modes?

    No, can't be done. However, the examples provided puzzle me... Active Track plus tripod? Why? The point of Tripod is all control gains are dialed WAY down, so that full stick on any control is extremely slow. As such, only something moving very slowly would even be capable of being tracked, or...
