    Traveling with Drone in Myanmar

    Hi all, We are on a round the world trip and I've got my P4 with me. I understand the drone laws in Myanmar are very strict and I will NOT be flying my drone while in the country. I've read that some have had their drones confiscated at the airport and I'm trying verify if this is true...

    Resetting home point

    glad I am not the only one who was confused as to how to reset the home point. It's something I would like to do with ease; it's a little frustrating that as the DJI Go app is updated we are losing functionality (i.e. automatically upating dynamic home point) and it is becoming less intuitive to...

    Resetting home point

    Hi all, I have been having trouble figuring out how to reset the home point to the controller location while the Phantom is in flight (I use an iPhone 6 with my Phantom, with GPS enabled for the app). In the absence of a manual for the DJI Go app, does anyone know of a resource which...

    Dynamic home point-not set by default

    That explains why I was unable to get the home point to automatically refresh to the location of the r/c controller. My understanding was that the P3 had a dynamic home point setting which continually reset the home point to the location of the r/c controller. Do you know why the P4 doesn't have...

    Dynamic home point-not set by default

    Hi all, In the absence of a manual for the DJI Go app, I am having some trouble with the dynamic home point setting. From what I understand, dynamic home point is the default setting when you are using a device with a GPS receiver. I am using an iPhone 6 with GPS enabled on the phone...

    First photos/video with P4-Running in the Desert

    Good point, thanks for attaching that graph. I suspect that the dim lighting was a large part of the issue. Although I tried using ActiveTrack again today and as soon as I walked through the shade of a palm tree ActiveTrack lost me again. It's a nice idea, but it's certainly got its limitations.

    First photos/video with P4-Running in the Desert

    Hi all, Just had my P4 in the air for the first time, decided to take it along with me for some running in the desert. The P4 strikes me as fairly intuitive and easy to fly out of the box. I had some difficulty getting ActiveTrack to lock on unless the aircraft was within 20 ft of me...

    Activetrack: side panning or circling shots possible?

    Great thanks, I look forward to seeing it. I am hoping that in a subsequent software update DJI will integrate side panning into ActiveTrack as it would open up many more creative possiblities.

    Activetrack: side panning or circling shots possible?

    Hi all, Just had my Phantom 4 out for the first flight, and was testing out ActiveTrack which worked as advertised. I was able to get the drone to follow me from behind and to follow me from directly in front. One thing that I was not able to do was to get the drone to follow me...
