    Issue on Playback on P4 and Mavic Pro since upgrading Ipad for Mavic Pro

    SOLVED! After two days of trying to figure out why videos would drop out and read the above error, I decided to start pulling peripherals off the mother board USB ports. I figured that there must have been a hardware conflict somewhere as the video played from the memory in the Mavic and P4 on...

    Issue on Playback on P4 and Mavic Pro since upgrading Ipad for Mavic Pro

    Ok, don't really know where to start on this. Have a Phantom 4 and just bought Mavic Pro I didn't have any problems watching videos on a new souped up custom PC I bought for editing 4k. Win 10 Pro, intel 6800 chip, Asus Delux II MB, EVGA 1080, and 32 GB RAM. Water cooled system. I bought a...

    P4P battery fit , PLEASE ANSWER FAST

    Even if your flight went well today......? If you are getting power and the gap still exists I would put a piece of tape over the battery (from top to bottom) for a flight just for extra precaution. Not likely to slip out that way and easy enough to remove to get the battery out later. Good luck.

    Bad Battery from Lightning Deal/Amazon

    Same issue here. I ordered p4 with 2 extra batteries and a charging station from Adorama on Black Friday. One battery was DOA. No problem returning it for a new one. I like to deal with reputable dealers to minimize any hard feelings when spending on expensive toys

    No Drones on Hawaii surf Pipeline

    Yes. I have a helipad zone I reside within. I called the facility... mercifully, they had just decided that they would no longer be utilizing it. I took names and numbers. An adjacent 5 mile radius to the regional airport appreciated the call and said everything was AOK. Took names and...

    [Tutorial] Snow Landscape Photography Editing with Lightroom

    Very nice work Thomas. Efficient, clean and to the point. I've have purchased a number of editions of Lightroom over the years but prefer photoshop. I just might have to give this lr another shot. Thanks for the input. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Anti-collision mechanism doesn't appear to work

    I agree with bow. There is no contrast with snow and it lacks density. Both are problematic to reflection needed for avoidance. Lack of contrast.... think of the specifics behind the recent headlines in the Tesla crash. Hope you get things working. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    A Paring Down of the DJI Lineup??

    Interestingly enough I have noted that there is now a seemingly inversely proportional increase for P4 kit prices as the number of options have been reduced. No deals to be had thru Bh or Adorama like I've seen in the past two months. Dji, marketing genius or looking to ring up profits before...

    African airline reports drone collision with passenger jet

    For the record: News article. There appears to be a rash of blaming drones for many events that simply are not found to be credible when further investigated by the proper authorities. This is just another. "The Boeing 737-700 aircraft of Mozambique Airlines (LAM) that suffered damage in the...

    The Xmas drone shooting season begins.

    the most interesting point, of this fairly reported drone account, was that the police appear to tell the pilot that he could be facing charges. Of course he won't, but if they are not informed of the laws themselves where do they come off making such statements? Apparently, even flying by...

    Photos are TOO bright, cant see much in sunlight... will these filters help?

    These do look better! Exposure ( fixed aperture and fixed shutter speed) will never produce equal illumination as you rotate your phantom 360 degrees with the exception of perhaps photographing on a gray day. You can set your exposure to automatic and that may alleviate a good portion of...

    Hi-Aerial Hood (better than Hoodman) 50% off last day!

    Nothing to lose with this package. Seems to offer quality product, secure mount and optional extension that might be very useful in certain situations. Sent an email for iPad Air kit. Thanks for the heads up.
