Thank you and good question. My procedure of use has been charge the batteries the day or night before using, then fly, when returning home if the batteries are still highly charged I then will run the batteries down to about 50% if planning to fly soon, or to about 35% if going to store. I...

Hello. My research has told me that ver 1.3.509 is the version to get. I have a Phantom 4 Pro+. I would like to get it to a firmware version that will allow it to operate in the same locations my Phantom 4 Adv+ will. The Adv+ will let me spin the motors to run the batteries down where I live...

Thank you, guys. My main question is if sharing batteries between my recently bought used P4+ (which won't engage props near airport) will "infect" my P4 adv+ that will engage props? Will some type of info be transferred between them via Dji batteries? My Adv+ is working perfectly and I do...

Hello. I have a P4 Advanced plus (I bought new) that I love so much that I bought a used P4 Pro plus. I'm having issues with the P4 Pro +. Since I live in a NFZ the way I would often discharge the batteries to the proper level was to engage the props because driving far enough away is very...

Thank you. Once I take off, the little section towards the top that has ISO Shutter F Ev WB disapears and the screen is clean

Hi. With the P4 Pro+ / Advanced + you can set the camera to M or A instead of auto and it will let you view and adjust Aperture, EV, gain, displaying it small and at the upper part of the screen. This is handy to be able to keep an eye on the camera settings while still monitoring the camera...

I had the monitor freeze on me during 2 flights yesterday. I've only flown my Phantom 4 Adv+ about 8 times so far. The 1st time I was across a flooded river shooting a lighthouse and noticed the screen image was completely frozen. So I flew it back visually. Thankfully I keep it in sight...

Well I checked my P3P (bought new) with about 12 flights now, no hard landings (I catch it) and no crashes and sure enough it has stress cracks. The thing lives in it's nice protective case most of the time. I've been reading threads about this. What is the latest consensus, does glue work? If...

That little button only turns the screen on/off, but not the app and device, correct? I am concerned with what is the best plan of action for when the entire app/device/screen fails/crashes. On my P3P if the app/ipad crashes I can restart it and leave the controller on thus maintaining control...

On the Pro+ and Advanced+ with the built-in screen what do you do if/when the screen/app crashes while flying? When using the separate tablet models you can restart the tablet and app while leaving the controller on, of course... Is there a way to re-start the built-in screen/app while airborne?

Good thread. In my market, it's flooded with people doing cheap drone work and cheap video work in general. The majority fly drones illegally including my biggest competitor. Clients don't seem to care. Real estate companies often have their own bird and also fly illegally with no license...

thank you

Time to renew my Part 107. Which Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement book is the current one? Anyone have a link? Last time I bought one off Amazon and it was helpful to be familiar with it since the one used in the exam was the same.

I saw the P4P, P4P+, P4A,P4A+ and obsidian versions all go discontinued on the B&H site for several days. I had been watching them for several months because I wanted to buy one. After the pro versions were discontinued I bought an A+ on sale shortly before it changed to discontinued. Then the...

Is there a manufactured date range where this is an issue with the P3P or is it a general issue with the entire model run? I bought one new in 2017 and haven't used it much. I'm wondering now if I should loosen those a bit
