    P3 or Inspire 1 Remote with P4

    Here is a video on how to link the two the only difference is on the inspire 1 controller you may have to select Master or Off first and not slave.

    Poor Casey Neistat Lost his Mavic Pro

    Casey said there was a little bit of light out so he took his drone out. Maybe he didn't have enough light out to work the avoidance sensors and did hit a sailboat.

    Tap to Focus Example

    It will be just like the PH4 PH# and the Inspire 1 If you look on his screen in the video in the upper right hand corner right under the 3 little dots you see a lock with AE under it. by just taping it you focus will be locked in. There are numerous way to sett the focus the way you like it...

    Mavic vs P4 on photo quality

    I agree they keep showing that one set of comparisons between the P4 and Mavic how do we know they had it setup right or did they have the plastic cap on, and weren't these the two dummies that flew the Mavic under a bridge that they were bound to loose signal and got the message that the Mavic...

    LOL How much can be said about hand-launch-catches.

    Hand launch/catch

    I am just guessing but if you were staying at a location for awhile while you are in the states you could go to FAA site and get your FAA registered number to put on the drone. I think it is only 5 dollars and you get the number right away off the computer.

    Hand launch/catch

    Actually I like the registration. Because someone called the police on me when I was flying from a church parking lot that I had permission to use. The policeman was very nice and said that since they got a call they have to check it out and it was probably someone that just doesn't like drones...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Ok I just pre-ordered mine from AMAZON I know by now that I would be buying it sooner or latter. It's a good thing I am divorced other wise I would surely be hearing that most stupid phrase ever said by a woman " what do you need another one of those for" I don't know how many time I used to...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    I always look at the stated range to be about twice the range you normally get I have 3 ph-3 2 of them working a PH-4 and an Inspire1. They all say about 2 mile range but even with an range extender I would be lucky to get the 2 miles. If it is stated at 4.3 than you probably will be able to...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    I can because so many of us will probably be selling their phantoms very cheaply and to think I just paid $900 for a Z3 camera for my inspire 1. This hobby has gotten to be pretty expensive

    Holy cow, what a night. Phantom 4 beware

    Something like that needs to happen to everyone at least once to get that long distance crap out of their heads about flying it so far out that you hope you got enough battery left to make it home. I am not saying I didn't have to see how far I could get mine to go also but things happen and it...

    Phantom 4 heading on down the creek

    Yes that is the first thing that came to mind so I double checked it, but it is my understanding that VPS wouldn't work over water but I would have thought that the motion sensors would have taken over. I may try it again and I believe on my P3 you could turn the vision sensors off, not sure on...

    Phantom 4 heading on down the creek

    I was going to take some video of some people canoeing on a fast moving creek. But instead of my P4 just hoovering over the creek it started to move with it. I wasn't very high and am just wondering if the vision system may be locking on the churning water and instead of staying stationary it...

    Near miss caught on film. Object Avoidance Save!

    I did not think that the P4 backed up when using optical avoidance that it would just go around, over or just hover in place.

    Firmware: Anyone else failing to download or update to v1.01.0301?

    OMG you are lucky if you do everything right and it works the first time. A person would have to be crazy to try to do anything else. There goes half a day try to get things back in order.
