The only thing worse than his flying and abysmal drone video skills is his spelling and grammar.

I cooked some barramundi on the barbie the first day I got my P4P.

This is the alternate/hack gimbal calibration that fixed it. Note the phantom resting on it's rear motors and it's facing in a vertical position:

It had nothing to do with the wind. The bird should fly in a straight line regardless of wind since it's using a compass and GPS to track. The issue was the camera wasn't aligned correctly. No amount of IMU & gimbal calibrations could fix it until I found a bizarre hack - calibrating the gimbal...

The stick was locked in straight. In order to follow a straight line, I need to push the stick almost into the corner (roughly 35 degrees to the right from centre).

P-GPS mode.

It's straight.

Hey guys, I know this is a fairly common issue with the P4P (never had it with my P4 or P3A) and I'm on my 2nd P4P with this issue of the craft not flying in a straight line. Has anyone been able to solve this? It makes shooting videos insanely difficult because it requires 'straffing' the...

As others have mentioned, hand catch. It's the best and safest option. Watch some YouTube videos if you're not sure. I've done maybe a thousand hand catches and never had a problem. I had a couple of nervous/failed ground landings early on which prompted me to move to hand catching.

Boom. Nailed it.

According to the lat/long in his logs, it look like Wells Fargo Bank. No idea about take-off altitude. Google Maps

Go on, have a sook and retreat to your safe space because someone gave you a dose of reality and you don't like it. You were flying in a dense urban environment and obviously have no idea what you're doing and expect everyone here to console you for flying like a muppet and endangering the...

Yeh... nice try pal, that flight log doesn't correlate to the location you initially posted. You're now attempting to mitigate your reckless flying by posting a log from a short flight in what looks to be a relatively low density area. Your original location appeared to be in the middle of LA in...

The OP is an absolute muppet and a danger to the general public. He then compounds it by ignoring advice from experts on here and doesn't appear to care why he crashed. I have no doubt we'll be seeing him here again when he's flying in and around airports wondering where his drone is after it's...
