    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    I asked about whether they had lots of P4P's available for warranty replacements, and the tech told me that they had lots and lots. Not for sale, just for warranties.

    Ripoff or not?

    The phone number has a Boston area code (617), but it may be a cellphone.

    Phantom 4 Pro+ Intermittent GPS

    I just had the exact same problem with my 3-year old P4P. I sent it to DJI Service, at their cost. They immediately diagnosed the problem and sent me a quote for US$112. I paid the estimate immediately, and the next day they shipped me a brand-new P4P, 2nd day air. Since this is a brand new...

    New 2021 Ipad Pro with Phantom Pro

    How strange. I followed the exact sequence of connections shown in your video every time, and after turning on my P4P controller, the words "Enter Device" at the bottom right of the DJI Go 4 screen on my Mini 6 never turns blue. I tried two different USB-C cables and one Thunderbolt cable, and...

    New 2021 Ipad Pro with Phantom Pro

    That would be helpful. I just got this part this afternoon - no good with my Phantom 3 Pro. I'll get my P4P back in a couple of days and I'll report back how it works with that.

    DJI Repair Experience

    I just had basically the same experience with DJI. My P4P started going in and out of ATTI mode. It's several years old, way past warranty. DJI paid for the UPS shipping cross country to Cali. Repairs cost $121, and the turnaround time from receipt at DJI to shipping me a brand new (or refurbed)...

    Do you know the drone jammer ? How to avoid it

    Most of the frequencies mentioned by the OP in his first post are aimed at disrupting 2-way communication between the drone and the controller. However, using programmed mission software like Litchi, one can fly a drone on a long mission using only satellite-based navigation signals (GPS...

    New 2021 Ipad Pro with Phantom Pro

    DJI is not likely to make any money by supporting the deprecated P4P. I seriously doubt they have any staff working on P4P software.

    High humidity

    Yep. That worked for me.

    P4 Pro V1.0

    IIRC, for the P4P v1 controller you need the optional HDMI adaptor to get 720p HDMI out.

    Wells Beach, Maine during super High Tide in 4K

    This 4K video shows the estuary behind Wells Beach and the built up properties on a very thin barrier island. The last part of the video was shot about an hour before a super high 'King' tide on January 4, date of perihelion. Music by Kai Engel

    Are stress cracks like this really a big deal?

    They use that same drilling trick on real airplanes. I fly single-engine small planes, and small growing cracks in the skin are often stopped with a tiny hole.

    October Surprise

    Thank you all for you kind words. This is why I have the P4P drone - it enables me to create art to share. I grew up in a movie-making family. My father was a professor of cinematography and made documentaries. I worked summers on his film crew in high school. That was 50 years ago. I wish he...

    This was all taken in the Boston MetroWest suburbs.
