Hi All, Thank you for the replies. I actually use Active Track as one of my options for flying circles around stationary objects. Especially when I can't or don't want to fly over the center of an object as the POI route requires. Active Track works well as long as the drone continues to see...

Hi All, I recently had a full day of flying but at one point in the day, the drone flew away after switching to Active Track (this happened twice). The first time it took off going forward and the second time (which I recorded video) took off flying backwards. Both times I switched out of GPS...

The good news is it isn't the end of the line for the V2.0 (yet). I got confirmation from a DJI rep and found this list that shows end of support for the P4PV2.0 has not been announced but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens within the year...

I just got confirmation from DJI that the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is not affected by this end of line announcement! https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=en-us03400007185&spaceId=34&re=US&lang=en

To add more details: To access the menu that @tribar is referring to, you have to press the middle external button on the right side of your CrystalSky monitor. An on-screen menu will then pop up and you'll find Output under the HDMI settings. It will not work if you go to Settings by tapping...

@Chrislaf thank you for the info. I got my Litra mounts in the mail and they should do the trick nicely. Now I'm either going to get some Lume Cube 2.0s or possibly the Ulanzis. Best of luck with the light painting! Your shot above is great!

@Chrislaf thank you so much for posting this! I've been trying to find replacement arms for my Lume Cube lights and your post saved the day. I was able to find the Litra mounts on B & H and am sure they will fit my P4PV2.0. How have you liked the Ulanzi cube lights? Do they have a strobe feature...

I use Active Track for a variety of uses but noticed recently when shooting surfing in Spotlight mode, the drone couldn't keep up with the surfer coming towards it. I'm obviously in control of the drone and the drone is keeping the camera locked on the subject. But even with my stick all the way...

Whenever I use a flight mode like Active Track the camera settings switch to Auto. Is that possibly what happened?

To the chagrin of many of us P4Pv2.0 owners, there is no HDMI output module that we can add like there is for the Phantom 3 or Phantom 4 (version 1). I had to spend the $800+ for a used CrystalSky just to get an HDMI output. Another option is to buy a P4Pv2.0+ controller. Sorry I don't have...

Thanks, yeah I saw and even looked up XT60 plugs but I guess my electrical experience is lacking. Would you mind posting a close-up pic of your P4P -> XT60 adapter? I love the idea of these batteries having a life after drones. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool. So how do you connect the Phantom 4 battery to the router?

Good catch on the propeller tip. During my inspections I mostly see blood from the bugs that met their fate at the hands of my Phantom. I used my phone to fly for years but now that I'm a CrystalSky user, my checklist reminds me to download my offline maps and load my DJI authorizations before...

Hi All! I figured I'd revive this old thread in case any drone ops were still searching for a checklist to fit their needs. I created a couple (one for the US and one for Canada) and they apply to most DJI drones (especially Mavics and Phantoms) but it will also work for other brands -...

Awesome! Glad to hear it! Definitely reach out if you have any feedback. Thanks!
