    P4 Drone Only??

    Well looks like you were correct. Dried it out in a "hot box" like I saw on youtube. Still had some moisture inside the camera so I wrapped a plastic bag full of rice around the camera and heated that and let it sit for two days. All good. Reclaibrated the senors and took it out yesterday for a...

    P4 Drone Only??

    I had it in follow mode in Litchi. We were going around a bend in a river and my buddy had the boat near the bank to stay in the deeper water. Unfortunately the drone was too close to the bank and the water strider clipped the top of a willow and it flipped over and fell down through the willows...

    P4 Drone Only??

    So my P4 went for a swim today (freshwater). It was probably submerged about 30 seconds (no more). I took the battery out and dried as best I could and now its playing the waiting game. I'll know in a week if its salvageable or not. So to my question. Since I already have two other batteries...

    Shield K1 and Cached Map???

    Well I knew that but was under the impression that you needed some service provider for that to function. Clearly it works just like any normal handhled GPS which is great to know. Now I will carry this with me on my boats as a backup. Way better than my little handheld as long as I remember to...

    Shield K1 and Cached Map???

    So this morning I was going to go scout a local area for the opening of duck season. Since we had permission to hunt a new piece of private property we decided to take the P4 in case we wanted to do a look around from the air. Not having been in there and knowing it was a marshy area we weren't...

    August 7 Month long DJI firmware failure.

    Well I get your point and it is valid. As with anything online the vast majority are posted from someone who had a problem. But I have to say as an engineer "80% success rate" SUCKS. In the engineering world that is flat out a disaster.

    Airlines W/Phantom 4

    Flown with my P4 several times. Drone in a hard case and checked (inside a bigger suitcase just because it fit and it saved baggage costs) and all three batteries in protective sheaths in my carry on. No issues.

    Litchi Follow vs Track??

    Is there any real difference between the follow mode or track modes if the subject you are looking at has the controller?

    Update P4 or Not?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will just pass on the update. The improvements don't seem to outweigh the risks of a problem. I was more concerned that there was something really needed in the udpates...ie., if I didn't do it I was flying on borrowed time.

    Update P4 or Not?

    I have been flying my P4 using the Litchi app and am totally happy with my performance. This combination does all I need to do and I don't have any issues. Being an engineer by trade I tend to always have things updated to the latest versions. However, after reading all the horror stories on...

    Drone Eclipse?

    Just for kicks I got on Expedia and check the local motels for that weekend. Only three motels have ANY rooms left. All the rest are completely sold out. Oh, and the cheapest room available? $800/night! Anybody want to rent a brand new house? LOL

    Drone Eclipse?

    For those looking at that chart please do NOT come to Idaho Falls. The predictions are that we will have something like 500,000 visitors in here to watch the "show." I am going to have days worth of food supply bought in advance and not venturing outside except for 10 minutes out on the front...
