    Birds of Prey

    A month ago or so, I was flying my P4 in circles while I figured something out in the app and not really paying attention to the drone. When I looked up, 6 or 7 hawks had joined my P4. I think they were migrating, saw the drone circling and thought, "hey, there's a thermal....". Pretty sure they...

    Altitude......

    Ha! Thanks but only by chance, that shot was after I got it down and in my nearly hypothermic state, I wasn't thinking too much about framing....:)

    Altitude......

    Meant to ask before, altitude is based on the take off point, right? And is there a way to switch it to based on the topographical elevation directly below the P4?

    Expertdrones Trade-In

    That it won't attach to an ipad is an issue, but it's still compatible with an ipad, right? I'll jury-rig something....and for the follow-me stuff I want to use it for, screen size isn't an issue, but portability very much is.

    Expertdrones Trade-In

    I just got a P4, but the portability of the Mavic is a real advantage for what I'm looking to do, so I'm thinking about trading up (down? sideways?) to the Mavic. Expertdrones.com offers a $899 (credit) for P4's and I wondered if anyone has had experience with them. Thanks! Scott
