    Sluggish control output, strong interference...

    Thanks for the replies. The compass, IMU and gimble were calibrated after a hiatus of about 5 months...I also performed a software update. Afterwards, I flew it and it gave me the interference message and I noticed the sluggish control response. I've flown it twice since then and it the...

    Sluggish control output, strong interference...

    The last 2-3 times I've flown my P4, I've noticed the control output is very sluggish. I also get a message that there is strong interference in my flying area. I've flown in the same area in the past, and never had that message before. Could be a software issue? Or perhaps there's a problem...

    Problem updating firmware/activating goggles...

    OK, messed around a bit and corrected the issue. I deleted the DJI Assistant 2 app and reloaded it, then activated the goggles. I had no problems and they are now activated, updated and functioning correctly. I guess my old app was corrupted...but I am flying now and I the goggles are great.

    Problem updating firmware/activating goggles...

    The DJI Assistant app recognized the goggles, and it showed there was a firmware update needed. I performed the update but the goggles won't connect to the aircraft...DJI's support group is M-F 9-5 PST, so it's next Tuesday at the earliest before I can even try to troubleshoot. Seems like DJI...

    Problem updating firmware/activating goggles...

    Just got a set of goggles for my P4, and tried to follow the prompts to update the firmware and activate the goggles using the DJI Assistant 2 app on my PC. The goggles do not update(or at least it appears that way since they will not allow me to move past the initial activation prompts and...

    Phantom 4 discontinued

    Meh. The only thing that would bug me is that DJI will blow the remaining inventory out at clearance pricing. I am sure even if they did discontinue the P4, the product will still be supported with updates and accessories/parts.

    My drone went crazy and I don't know why

    Power utility providers don't intentionally send bursts of additional power down the lines to "purge" or "clear" them. There is nothing to be purged or cleared. Voltage spikes and fluctuations are possible, but they are neither desirable or intentional. As far as power lines creating...

    P4 Shell Cracks?

    I had a minor crash and pranged on of the landing struts...the strut is fine but the shell now has a very small crack at one of the attachment points for the strut. I contacted the nearest DJI service center and they wanted $220 to replace the shell. You can buy the shell from DJI for $69...I...

    Phantom 4 High Capacity Battery

    The $111 sale for the battery at the DJI store has expired. If you order on Amazon, stay away from 6AVE...I ordered one and it didn't take a charge and didn't appear to be OEM.

    HOW TO: Install Phantom 4 firmware

    I am having issues with a tilted horizon on my new P4, and have gone through several threads here regarding this relatively common problem. One possible fix is to remove the latest firmware update and re-install it, along with an IMU calibration. How do you remove the latest update? With so...

    Gimbal Roll Adjustment Misbehaves

    This...to us newbies, this would be a great help. I am also having issues with manual gimbal settings not staying put.

    Crash Poll

    Obstacle avoidance was disabled during descent, and it nicked a branch of a tree beside my landing zone...it fell about 4 feet and pranged one of the landing skids. Very minor and it doesn't affect performance. My bad...but it could have been much worse.
