    New P4P 2.0 - “Cannot take off”

    Does the just apply to the v2? I have a P4P and am having the same issue with one battery. The other two that I have are working ok. It says I can't take off and also that I need to put in a new battery, but the battery has all 4 bars lit up and the controller says I'm at 94%.

    Just curious how the real estate missions are working out. Is there still an opportunity?

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    I'm usually pretty good about these kinds of things but it feels to me that a step is missing in the instructions and none of this is working for me. I was on the site this morning and had my phone set up as a hot spot and when it wouldn't let me take of I pressed the screen and it just said...

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    Also, I don't understand how to unlock a zone if I am not on station. What device should I use to log into their system? Does it need to be through my P4P+ screen? Can I just go to the website through a browser? They leave out a couple of steps on this video.

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    If I'm on station, all I need to do is have my iphone/hotspot on and linked to my controller, and then I make the appropriate selections on the screen when I attempt to fly. Is that correct? I want to be sure I have it right this time. Thanks.

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    I'm in the same boat again. I was able to unlock on site the last time, but today I couldn't remember what I did so I'll try again tomorrow. But if someone could go through this with me step by step I would appreciate it. I did set my phone to be a hotspot. I selected on the screen than I wanted...

    Jello

    Somehow I lost track of this thread. My apologies to the six and to you if you were one of them. I have the jello problem sometimes still and sometimes I don't.

    Jello effect, but not in beginning.

    No it was calm. The thing is that the beginning footage looks pretty good, but the end footage doesn't and it was again on the same battery and same shutter speed. I'm wondering if it could be a gimbal issue.

    Jello effect, but not in beginning.

    I used an entire battery today taking video clips and stills of a construction project. I reviewed the first two video clips and they were very smooth. But video clips half way through the battery and at the end were very jellowy. This was all during one flight. One take off and one landing...

    Are you making a living doing aerial photography?

    Thanks for your comments. I've been going after industrial clients which is what I know best, but am open to pursuing any other market. When I did a lot of aerial photography from airplanes, occasionally a prospect would tell me the boss owns a plane, so they don't need my services, which was...

    Are you making a living doing aerial photography?

    I could do other types of photography, but that was what I specialized in and didn't do any "ground" photography. I had plenty of aerial business which paid better and which I could get to quickly since I was flying from site to site and could cover much territory in one day.

    Are you making a living doing aerial photography?

    Years ago I could have answered that question in the affirmative. I did very well with it for some years. The past few years it slowed down considerably, probably because of the economy and that my customers were manufacturers who were his hard. (My specialty was taking the pretty picture of the...

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    I'm going to try it now. I think it worked, but I'm wondering how it works. How is the controller "informed"?

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    I went to a starbucks and unlocked it. What I dont understand is how my controller knows it's unlocked since i didn't connect to it.

    Help, need to unlock ASAP

    It's a couple of miles from Hanford Municipal airport in California. I can't take off. The screen says I must unlock. I went through that process once a couple of months ago, but couldn't complete it because I didn't have any way to connect to my P4P. Not sure what you mean about doing that on...
