    New Firmware update for DJ I Phantom 4 Today

    OP asks for help Community asks for flight logs TO help OP doesn't comply and people wonder why others are so reluctant to help.

    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    Had an epiphany today while flying my P4. I too had been concerned about range. Tried using my friends P3A remote, no difference in the tests I ran.

    Why is the distance on my P4 Half what they say it is

    I had range issues with mine too, mostly operator error and inexperience. Added a set of these today and had great success.

    Insurance

    $50 a year for $1,000 of coverage through State Farm here in Connecticut. Hope I never need it. Oh, and I don't have auto insurance through them either.

    Connecticut Flyers: My Norwalk experience today - beware
