    FAA bans....

    Well said. There are too many mindless autobots that go along with anything the government decrees.

    FIREWORKS!

    Under Settings, Main Controller Settings, Advanced Settings, toggle the "Turn on front LEDs". You want to do this when taking video or pictures at night to avoid the red glare the LEDs will cause.

    Spotlight Interference...

    So I was shooting some video of the fire works in our little town. I was careful to not fly over the crowd, had in line of sight at all times, and got some great shots of the fire works from about 1300 ft AGL. Everything went great, started to come back to the home point and someone lit up the...

    FIREWORKS!

    I just filmed one last night. It is freaky flying at night. Keep the LEDs on until you are ready to shoot so you can keep an eye on the drone. No need to film coming or going. I shot at about 1250 ft AGL and with a slight downward angle on the gimbal. have fun.

    Lost my drone in the Arctic

    Ok, I'll plead dumb, but if the P4P flies by GPS coordinates why does it need a compass to make it back to home point? Won't the GPS tell it whether or not it is going the right direction?

    1640 ft limit

    Seriously? That would require physical effort. And who'd carry the beer?

    1640 ft limit

    So my buddy has the Autel X Star. it has no limit on height. he has taken it to well over 2000 feet above take off point. This drone is certainly not up to par with the Phantoms, but not too bad either. Before you all start lecturing about rules and safety, i absolutely believe in flying...

    360 Auto Panorama Suggestions? Litchi don't work.

    I've had good luck using Litchi for panoramas. I just flew out to where i wanted to start, went to panorama mode, set the number of pics and Litchi did all the rest.

    Amazing Crash and Recovery

    Yes, if you cared to read my original post the number one lessened learned was not to fly automated missions close to people. but thanks for the reminder. It's too bad some people love to hate. Maybe it makes them feel good to put others down.

    Amazing Crash and Recovery

    I was doing some nap of the earth flying on a Litchi Mission. When out of nowhere a tree jumped in front of the drone. When it hit the tree it hung there for just a few seconds. I started to put the controller down, thinking I needed to drive over and pick up the pieces, until when I saw...

    Litchi 3.10 is out with support for P4P. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.

    litchi

    I hope I am wrong but I believe that update only applies to iOS not Android yet.

    Terrain following flight using P4 sonar

    Use Google Earth to create a path over the pipeline. Set the height to be relative to the ground, add your way points. Export it to a .KML file and import that to Litchi. Done it works great.

    Height limit

    Yes if there is a clearing higher up that you can land and re-arm the motors so it will reset the height limit?
