    Pix4dmapper app on Android

    The latest version of the BETA app seems to be more stable now, and for me has less app crashes and failures. The added features like angle of camera and picture icons broaden the experience so things seem to be improving. On the 1st video below I used the previous version which the app crashed...

    Pix4dmapper app on Android

    I believe the grid area is restricted in the app to ensure it can be completed before the battery runs out. At the moment if the mission is aborted or returns home due to low battery then the whole project has be started again from scratch. From what I understand you can enlarge the area by...

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    I did the mod firstly with kitchen foil but replaced with copper tape in front of the GPS module. This improved sat signal and shortened sat lock, however upon recording above 720p 30fps the sats would drop out and sometimes the P2V+ went in and out of ATTI which was very annoying. I managed to...

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but the DJI P2 is being featured on tonight's episode of Autumnwatch in the UK on BBC2 from 8pm. Seems like it is being reviewed on how it is used for conservation purposes so will make a change from being viewed in a negative way for a change! Regards, Jep

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    I decided to do the foil mod after my very 1st flight as when I hit the record button my P2V+ went straight into ATTI mode. It was a breezy day and was drifting quickly but thankfully managed to control it back towards me and only had a very minor roll over crash. Initially I used ordinary...

    Footage from my 1st month with the P2V+

    Here are some clips from my 1st month with the P2V+. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei-i9woOn9U&list=UUoRK0d5NVmoTEqz4wOIePUQ I ended up doing the foil mod following my very 1st flight as GPS signal dropped out when filming. I used tin foil initially but have changed to copper tape which...
