    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    I had the same issue and posted a flight log here that was interpreted to indicate possibly a bad GPS module. I watched a youtube tutorial on how to replace the GPS and decided it was over my head. So, I sent the P4P to the DJI repair center in CA and they confirmed the GPS was faulty. They sent...

    DJI Repair Experience

    I wanted to relate a positive DJI repair experience. I posted a few months ago about my P4P going into atti mode. @Meta4 correctly diagnosed a faulty or loose GPS module. I finally got around to sending the P4P to DJI in California for repair. They called and emailed me the day they received it...

    Phantom 4 Pro Switches to Atti when in P mode

    Hmmm, well, photos and videos are recorded mormally. I'm sticking with Meta4's diagnosis. By the way what does the memory card have to do with the drone's flight characteristics?

    Phantom 4 Pro

    Just checked, you're right, two of each. Right, no swelling. I can get the exact # of charges for each if you want.

    Phantom 4 Pro Switches to Atti when in P mode

    Thank you Meta4! Given how often is was happening a couple years ago that makes sense. I really appreciate your help!

    Phantom 4 Pro Switches to Atti when in P mode

    Thanks! Here is the air data link. Hopefully it is the correct file. The issue occurred in the last minute or so before landing and I did switch back and forth from Atti to P to try and correct it, but without success. Phantom 4 Mystery Atti mode

    Phantom 4 Pro Switches to Atti when in P mode

    My Phantom 4 Pro has been sitting for over two years without a flight so today I charged the batteries and took it for five flights just to make sure it still flew well and the batteries were good. On the last flight when I was coming in to land in P mode, it started drifting like it was in Atti...

    Cycling batteries not used for over 2 years?

    OK, right... Yeah, so I did five flights and the batteries appear fine. I flew in atti, sports and regular mode for 4 flights. On the last flight while coming in to land in P mode it switched to atti mode on it's own. It did this two years ago and I never figured out the problem. Will post logs...

    Cycling batteries not used for over 2 years?

    Thanks! Yeah, I did that already and the voltages looked good. I was thinking that the amount of time sitting without use could be a problem in itself. However, I see your point and will then also check voltages during the flights. I usually fly with sensors off, but what is the concern about...

    Cycling batteries not used for over 2 years?

    After sitting on the shelf for over two years I decided to revive my P4P. The batteries have been in lipo bags the whole time (I did check on them periodically). I plan to fly all five batteries later today or tomorrow and was thinking in the interest of time I would only fly them down to around...

    Matrice 100 Anti-poaching

    Also posted on Mavic pilots ... Here's an example of using the DJI Matrice 100 dual battery setup with a 640 FLIR cam for anti-poaching purposes. I flew this mission from Sea Shepherd's M/V Farley Mowat on Operation Milagro. What you are seeing are cartel-supported fishermen retrieving their...

    Seeking Drone Operators for 2020 Ocean Cleanup

    The debris is so scattered that it takes weeks to find enough to fill the ship's hold. That's why the trackers are so important and make each trip more efficient.
