I'm forgot to put those details. It is the mini 2. It has worked great till just recently, and even now, works great 90% of the time.

I've had my p4 since January, with quite a few flights under my belt when it is warm. Recently I've had the app on my ipad mini go blank and say "disconnected". First time made me quite nervous, but RTH worked as designed. 2nd time it happened yesterday, and it was only 50' away or so, so I...

It charges one at a time, sequentially. So put both on, and it will charge one then the other. Then you will have fully charged batteries!

Did some prairie cruisin' this weekend and made it out about 1.6 miles before the RTH kicked in due to the low battery setting. Daughter was on sport mode most of the time. If we are shooting for further distance, would it make sense to stay in P mode instead? Take longer to get there, but...

Is there a "standard" filter you leave on all the time, and then change out when there are specific conditions? In other words, do you ever use the stock lens?

Thanks. I'm definitely not a professional photographer, but want to still take good photos/videos. Thanks for the info on the gimbal guard as well. I didn't even think about that!

I'm looking at buying some polar pro filters. Amazon has a Standard 3 pack CP, ND4 & ND8 for $69, and the vivid series 3 pack ND4-PL, ND8-PL, ND16-PL for $99. Is the vivid worth the extra $$?

I'll look up youtube. Thanks! My stills have typically been of cool buildings I like to photograph.

Ok, good to know. I should probably look for a decent set. I'm not a photographer, so I will need to do some research on how to change the camera settings to the situation. Is there a good book or website that can educate me on those basic photography skills?

Question regarding ND filters. I'm still somewhat new to the photo game, and didn't know if the ND filters are for still shots or just video. I'm planning on taking some still shots to put on a website soon, but didn't know if the filters were beneficial for that purpose.

We were watching a new reality show called Hunted, and my daughter suddenly said "look...they are using our drone!" The hunters (retired investigators, etc) were looking for the "fugitives" who they thought might be on a boat-which was moored on a buoy. The "fugitives" thought they were safe...

I'm with you. I was out on a windy day, but tried sport mode. Didn't get as fast as you, but flying at 54 mph at 15 feet above me was awesome! Wide open park was a blast.

I have figured it out on mine. In below freezing, or even close, I can get one flight for sure. If I want a 2nd flight, or more, I take the P4 into my truck with the heat on and get it back to warm. No issues since!

I don't know which ebay seller you used. I got one from yitamotor and it was DOA. It is authentic, so they told me to go thru warranty with DJI. I'm in the process of that, but a little frustrating not to have the battery very quickly. I'll live though!!

I have 3 batteries that I use, and fly every week or so on the weekends. After I'm done, I have 3 batteries around 15-25%. I also have the 3 battery DJI hub. Should I go ahead and put the 3 on the hub into storage mode (bringing them to approx 50%) and then charge them fully friday...
