    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    That would be incredible customer service if they did. Drone is of 2017 vintage, so I couldn't imagine them warrantying something 5 years old, though it has never been in a crash or had any kind of hard landing. Maybe I'll reach out to them.

    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    Interesting. So is this easily user serviceable? Curious if it would even be worth sending to DJI at this stage of the game, I imagine their labor would be expensive?

    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    I have a Phantom 4 Pro+ that I hadn't used much in the last couple years. I tool it out today and was having intermittent GPS trouble. I would take it up, and I'd have 17 Satellites, and after about 2-3 minutes I'd have 0 and be either navigating with vision, or in ATTI mode. The satellites...

    P4 Battery, No Lights

    Hey everyone. I have an original 5350mAh battery for a P4 that I purchased in 2016.. close to 2 years ago. This battery was in storage for roughly 6 months (but was discharged to 25% prior to being put in storage). Today I have no lights at all on this battery and will not it will not charge...

    P4P Obstacle Avoidance in Autonomous modes

    I flew a P4 for roughly a year, mainly using Litchi to plan missions to photograph static scenes and stationary objects. Now that I also have a P4P+ which can't run Litchi, I'm starting to get a lot more interested in the active track modes. Specifically I'd like to use modes such as the...

    P4P+ Suddenly can't fly over 30M

    Well as I've stated at least twice in the thread, the update was done literally a month ago. At that time I logged out and back in. The instructions say absolutely nothing about randomly having to log out and back in a month later after a battery swap unless I'm blind?

    P4P+ Suddenly can't fly over 30M

    Just thought I'd follow up with a resolution on this. Following suggestions from this thread, I powered on my P4P+ controller, connected it to my home Wifi, and went to my account, clicked on "Exit" .. which apparently means Logout in DJI's version of english. I had to re-enter my username and...

    P4P+ Suddenly can't fly over 30M

    Yes. New firmware was actually loaded last month. I mentioned in another thread that when I first purchased my P4P+, it was completely unusable out of the box -- DJI Go would crash literally the instant it opened. This was fixed by updating FW on both the RC and the Drone itself. Since I did...

    P4P+ Suddenly can't fly over 30M

    I will try this tomorrow when I'm connected to Wifi. But how could this happen? I'm flying completely offline (with a P4Pro+ with Wifi disabled), so I have no Internet connection on there to validate (or Devalidate) my account anyway. Do you have to relogin every so often?

    P4P+ Suddenly can't fly over 30M

    Here's a strange one. This afternoon I was flying around, 100m or so, everything was working great. Battery was below 30% so I came in and landed and swapped out the battery. After only changing the battery, I suddenly cannot fly above 30m. As soon as I reach 30m I get an error that says...

    Canadian planning on flying in the USA

    Hey everybody, I'm from Canada and fly my Phantom 4 and Phantom 4 Pro strictly recreationally. As such, I don't hold any kind of special permits. I just use common sense and obey local laws. I would like to bring my drone to the United States and fly around there. Do I need any kind of special...

    Active Track / Spotlight Question

    Yes but what if the drone still has the target but RC signal is lost? For example, if I'm tracking a car but the remote control is not in the car. Eventually it may go out of signal range but still have the subject locked on.

    Active Track / Spotlight Question

    In active Track or spotlight, if the subject being tracked moves out of RC range does the drone continue to follow the subject indefinitely? Or will the Drone RTH? Or hover in place?

    Had a flight .. forgot to remove foam gimbal pad from rear.

    I did the same thing with my Phantom 4 when I got it last year. No trouble resulted from it. Now if I only could quit forgetting to remove the plastic gimbal lock before powering up my P4 and P4P+, i'd be all set. I forget to do this often and am afraid that one day it will cause damage.
