    compass accuracy Phantom 4 advance/pro

    Not pertaining to accuracy, yaw and all the other angles thrown in this discussion, is there anybody with a suggestion on how to blend compass heading in a picture? Following the suggestions made above that the lens on the P4 is so wide that a few degrees left or right from the target don't...

    LCD Screen Replacement [Phantom 4 Remote with Display]

    Hi, not a real answer to your question but do you think it is possible to swap the pro+ screen for a regular, external screen as on the pro controller? I'm tired of the software limitations of the pro+.

    Phantom 4 Pro batteries

    Send them back to the supplier last week, didn't take any pictures, sorry. Batteries were, as far as I could tell, new in original DJI packaging including the various foam pieces and the instruction leaflet and had no visible signs anywhere of being used. As the batteries have no production date...

    Phantom 4 Pro batteries

    I had the same reaction, couldn't believe two of them would be faulty. Hence tested the charger, charging hub with other batteries mixed in.... all to no avail unfortunately, the two new arrivals are as dead as a dodo. As I wrote, also without the charging hub not much was happening, even after...

Both batteries arrived in the original factory packaging, sealed and intact. To my surprise both batteries fail to charge, neither individually nor in the DJI...

    Crashed P4P+ in swimming pool

    Crashing was a stupid mistake really, nothing to the detriment of DJI or the drone. Landed successfully about 3 feet from the side of the pool and then made a control mistake that tipped the drone on its side with the rotors still spinning. There was enough energy remaining in the spinning...

    Getting a Phantom 4 pro with built in screen any users have time using one?

    Concur with most that has been said: On the plus side for the P4P+ - Easy to deploy, switch on the controller and ready to go - Very bright display - Solid mount, screen won't come off no matter what - No external wiring to worry about - Single item to charge (RC+screen) - Dedicated to the...

    I took the battery apart but there is not much to see really that would point to failed components.

    Wanted: P4P camera internal color filter

    Following a water crash I'm looking for the small red filter that sits between the lens and image sensor in a P4P camera. If you have a broken camera, either electrical or mechanical, this part is likely to be in good condition and could help me fix mine. Thanks, Nan

    Crashed P4P+ in swimming pool

    Crashed my P4P+ in a swimming pool, went upside down in about 1 meter of water for 15 seconds. Lights were still flashing when i got it out of the water but imediately popped the battery out to prevent anything from frying. Shook as much water out as possible but took it all apart the day after...
