I purchased my last set at Best Buy. That was about 2 years ago. I don't know if they have stores in Canada, but that might be your best bet. D

While I won't disagree, it will also offload apps you don't use, even if you use your iPad every day. The algorithm for offloading apps is, apparently, a secret. My experience is that it is turned ON or "Enabled" by default. You have to dive into the menu system to enable or disable it. It...

Just make sure they snap in at both the top AND the bottom. I've read horror stories of batteries falling out mid flight. I imagine an aftermarket locking system may not mesh perfectly. Buyer beware. D

I've had "offload apps" disabled in all of my iPads for years. Yeah...that "feature" was annoying for like the first month until I disabled it. D

I had to look up how long these things last. Minutes? Hours? Days? According to my research, a typical Solar Storm lasts "minutes to hours." But they can also come in succession. The article didn't mention neither length nor subsequent successions for this particular storm. They did say...

What was not working before to make you upgrade? Maybe the old problem you were trying to fix with a firmware upgrade and the new problem are related. D

It's really hard to say because I use different cables for different iPads and different scenarios. Most of the time I dock the iPad (Lightning connector) to the controller, so I only need a 1 foot cable. For this I have used the Smavco 12" cable with great success. Since they are so cheap I...

Hmmmmm...I can't say for sure 100%. I use Go4 v3.1.1, which was compatible with a 4 or 5 firmwares I was testing. I'm about 90% sure that all Go4 App versions are compatible with all or most of the firmwares. You won't know for sure until you try. Personally, I would install Go4 v3.1.1 on...

Ahhhh...okay. I'm familiar with the distance capabilities of the P4P (which I imagine is on par with the P4P V2). It doesn't do well over long distances when it loses line of site. And trees definitely attenuate the signal. For a job like that I would look for a tall hill in the center of...

Huh????

Good thinking! D

No. Yes. Correct. Now you are. D

Why not just launch offsite? I did a shoot (mapping) over some native-owned land that had a compliancy list as long as your arm to get past the gate. So I just launched outside the gate. They never knew I was there. I wore my dork vest (AKA: The invisibility cloak), sandals and shorts. Good...

Bar none, the best firmware for the Phantom 4 Pro is 1.3.509. D

As a person who repairs computers, I concur with your assertions and share the same experience. Issues with connecting the Phantom to one's laptop is more-than-likely a symptom of a deeper problem. Driver issues account for a good portion of the remote support I give. They can be confusing...
