    P4P Aftermarket Batteries in 2024

    I have several P4P v2.0 and bought a couple of aftermarket batteries. They are "ExpertPower 2 Pack High Capacity (15.2V 5870mAh) Intelligent Flight Replacement Battery for DJI Phantom 4". I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable about putting the AC up in the are with them. Does anyone have any horror...

    DJI Mavic 3E Camera Question

    My understanding is that for mapping you really need a mechanical (not a rolling) shutter which is what the Phantom4 Pro has and as I understand it the Mavic 3E. That said I don't know what app you can run on the M3E since it has a dedicated remote controller. The Mavic 3 Pro appears to be a...

    Is it a bad idea to buy P4P V2.0 in 2023 ?

    DJI just released a firmware update for the V2.0 that will make it RID compliant. They are still a great choice for flying photogrammetry and mapping missions due to the 1" 20mp sensor and mechanical shutter. I just picked up a third one last week!

    P4P v2.0 Fly Safe

    I recently bought a used like new P4P v2.0 on marketplace. The owner hadn't updated the firmware so I did that first thing. I live in a GEO zone so I always start by getting those unlocked for any drone I plan to fly. Of course I had to add the "new" drone to the database. I then did the typical...

    Litchi for Telecommunications Inspection

    I am considering an opportunity to do telecommunications inspections. I fly a p4p V2.0 and they need me to use Litchi which I have no experience with. Anyone done such work with this kit?

    Unlocking License?

    Just got my P4P back from repairs at DJI. I linked it back up with the controller and the top left of the screen had a red band with white letters "Cannot Take Off". This is all new since DJI worked on the drone. Going to the aircraft status page the Overall Status has a Red Triangle, tapping...

    P4P Crash Repair Shop Recommendations

    Had a pretty serious crash onto a concrete slab. Housings are shattered and the camera is torn from the gimbal. Looking for recommendations for repair shops to determine if it is worth repairing. I have searched the forum but the posts are all over the map and many lead to dead links. thanks

    Part needed - Screw that connects device bracket to controller body

    I've lost the screw that connects the device holder bracket to the top of the controller body (P4P not plus) and need a source to buy a replacement. It's the flat head, slotted, recessed screw that screws in from the side to connect the two aluminum pieces. Any ideas for a source? thanks

    Best Repair Center

    Thanks everyone for their input. I finally decided to send it to DJI in California. They provided a shipping label and I sent it off. A few days later they replied that it needed a GPS module and two sensors and the repair would be at no charge. I was surprised because I assumed it was out of...

    Just got the v 2.0 (not the plus) from BHPhoto. I've bought a lot of photo gear from them over the years and you won't find a better outfit.
