The Ipad mini 2 came out in 2013 ... in electronics terms, that was back in the stone age. The Mini 4 was very popular for flying with the DJI Go app back when it was the current Ipad mini from 2015. If I was you I'd look around for an Ipad mini 4 or a later model.

Not sure where you got that idea but it doesn't sound right. The Samsung A15 was released at the end of 2023, which makes it newer than the A53 mentioned in post #8. The Phantom 4 came out in early 2016. The A15 should comfortably have more than enough processing power to run the Go 4 app...

It's no wonder that Metashape is having trouble. In the examples you posted, sun glare isn't the issue. For Metashape to work, it needs to be able to find a large number of distinct identifiable points in each image and then to match pairs of points in adjacent images. But the images have few if...

Way too many pix in the whole website. I just changed that link to take you straight to the good stuff ... https://abovephotos.smugmug.com/AP/Shipping-Examples

It's not the lens that's the issue .. it's the very small sensor. But it's still capable of capturing surprisingly good images when used properly. It takes next to no time to unfold and set up. Neither does your Phantom or most cameras out there. What you've been doing is saving a framegrab...

Maybe .. where are you flying? Urban areas are alive with interference sources. Your P4 pro should get similar range to what's advertised if you fly somewhere away from that interference. Trees between your controller and the drone will have a negative effect .. the more trees, the more effect...

It's definitely too complicated for an 8-year old.

That's a weird looking homebrew, hybrid beast. It's probably a Phantom 2 with some sort of gimbal and what looks like the camera from P2 Vision. It's not the camera from a Phantom 3 (which probably couldn''t be made to work with that drone). Even if it works, that camera has a fisheye lens and...

What a warped perspective. You have no idea what the actual problem is.

Good luck with that. S&P futures don't share your confidence.

It's well produced but also contradicts the blatant lies and propaganda in the document you suggested.

You've fallen for misinformation. Countries aren't "ripping us off" in trade and the tariff policies you've been told about just aren't true. Do you have any idea where Autel drones came from? There is so much BS being spread around this issue. I'm guessing you won't accept this, but if you...

Given how far drone technology had advanced since the days of the Phantom 2, is it really worth putting any effort into reviving it?

Longer is possible given that the Phantom 4 series started back in 2016. If they've been in storage that long, maybe not. I'm not sure what the supply of batteries for the Phantom 3 series is like, but that might be a problem for you. If the batteries are working, it would probably take an...

This is identical to the cameras of the other Mavic 4 pro series. The "better geotagging" isn't a camera feature, it's the GPS unit in the drone. It's only "better" if you actually need to carry out survey grade mapping. But that was possible before RTK if you used Ground Control Points anyway...
