    New Firmware update for DJ I Phantom 4 Today

    Like any software or firmware update these days.. early adopter beware. My p4 works fine so i simply dont update apps or firmware. If i do and they brick me or reduce features add limits id be kicking myself. If it aint broke... dont fix it!

    Anything I Should Know Before Traveling To Philippines

    I travel there 3 or 4 x a year and researched a lot before the first drone trip. There are no prohibitions on bring in a phantom. I even got the airline to write me an email confirming their policy on lipo battery carriage as well to be safe. There are a few phantom pilots in phils and i have...

    Drone "Hardshells" or other compact travel solutions?

    Tha AC and batteries MUST be in your carry on as they are lithium. I also carry a copy of the regs that govern lithium battery carriage in case i meet one of the many workers who dont seem to know their own rules. I even got a letter from my regularcairline confirming their policy. You can find...

    SD Card Issues - not recording Video or Pictures

    Rod, you're a star & I feel like a complete berk for not realising that was a critical factor. After reading your reply I did format in the P4 and hey presto the cards are both fine.

    SD Card Issues - not recording Video or Pictures

    Interesting, I bought 2 of these cards and neither worked despite multiple formats and tests. In the end I am returning / exchanging them for a Sandisk ultra, which came with the package when I bought the P4 and works like a charm. I guess the moral of the story is there's a lot of variance and...
