    Help in identifying what I need to renew a registration; aka, am I doing this right?

    Roger that, thanks guys. Glad my initial reading of the current situation wasn't as far off as I feared, although the FAA's Drone Zone webpage wasn't super clear about that. Registration renewed successfully. We'll likely investigate an affordable strap-on solution once such devices become...

    Help in identifying what I need to renew a registration; aka, am I doing this right?

    I'm a Part 107 certified pilot in the US, but my company doesn't get much chance to fly our Phantom 4 Pro v2, especially so over the last 2 years. I recently received notice from the FAA that the registration on our P4P v2 will expire in early March. Logging onto FAADroneZone today to renew, and...

    P4 Pro V2.0 ... Is it totally discontinued?

    Thanks all. I ended up purchasing one of the Amazon options. I wish I'd have known about PhantomHelp a few weeks ago, would have made this all much simpler! So, what is the community opinion here? Do folks generally believe the P4PV2 will make it back into the production queue? Eventually, at...

    P4 Pro V2.0 ... Is it totally discontinued?

    I've been looking for weeks, all vendors seem to be out of stock. Hell, even eBay had only one or two (a few weeks back, haven;t checked recently). As I type ... thank Ansia!

    P4 Pro V2.0 ... Is it totally discontinued?

    Thanks Fly Dawg. Yep, that's basically what I remember reading around mid-January: P4A and P4P V2.0 are still technically alive, but unavailable in the DJI store, and all other versions of the P4 discontinued. What I gather from that thread is that we aren't likely to hear any news from DJI...

    P4 Pro V2.0 ... Is it totally discontinued?

    Hi all, My company has finally given me the go-ahead to get a drone for photogrammetry. I couldn't talk my bosses into the P4 RTK or the Inspire line, because of the costs. But the P4 Pro V2.0 would work just as well for our mapping needs. Only problem is that despite the P4 Pro V2.0 being...

    P3 Firmware P3A update order

    Updating my P3A from 1.3.2 up to 1.7.006 to utilize DroneDeploy (hopefully). Currently have a successful AC update to 1.4, and the RC still on 1.3.2. Haven't spun the motors up, just confirmed control and data throughput from camera, to RC, to Go app. Will updating the RC at this point bring...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    On the Android phone, no problem setting USB option to data. Tried MTD and Midi, no change in connection. With the Nexus, I have to use developers tools to force either MTD or Midi connection, but also has no effect with the app. Tried using both the USB cable I've always used to fly, as well as...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    Most of the time, nothing happens in Go. The nexus starts to draw power from the RC when it turns on, but the app itself doesnt seem to recognize when a device is plugged in. This is true in basically every version of Go I've tried, from current version back to V2.1, and on an Androud Nexus 7, a...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    Negative. Using either a SD reader or a thumb drive seems to accomplish exactly nothing.

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    OK, after thinking it fully over, the last time I did an update was about a year ago, or maybe more like a year and a half. That update pushed the P3A camera to 2.7k, and also gave me the Go app vs whatever program DJI had before that. Reviewing the release notes, that means I likely had...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    I did indeed, using that thread as a guide. Rolled Go back to earliest available, with no change in end result. I did end up having about 5 minutes of app connectivity. Unfortunately, it caught me by surprise and I didnt think to look up the RC firmware version right away. Connection only...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    And nada. No joy. The app absolutely refuses to communicate with the RC or A/C. This set up worked before, Samsung tablet running Android 6.something. Known good wires. Tried every controller reset (which, I should note, only seems to result in a cyan colored light, but nothing ever seems to...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    OK, some progress. The A/C seems to have downgraded to V1.3.2 without much issue. The RC now can connect to the A/C. However, the Go app doesn't seem to want to communicate at all with the RC. It doesn't seem to recognize that a piece of hardware is even plugged in. I have definitely seen this...

    P3A ... did a dumb-dumb and cannot upgrade RC

    Copy, I think I misread the downgrade instructions (mention about if having a P3S you need the app and RC on, as that is the beginning of the file structure for the Advanced bin files, it never occurred to me he meant the P3Standard.) Will attempt this now, and report back.
