    Has anyone installed a stronger lens in a P4?

    I would have thought it would be cheaper and easier to move closer to the mountain. If the mountain won’t come to you, lol. I assume this isn’t possible ?

    High altitude photo shoot

    Not totally sure what you are saying here. I was merely trying to point out that you would have to start off from an elevated position in order to reach 9,200’ as there are multiple problems associated with trying to get there if starting from sea level. You also mentioned earlier that...

    High altitude photo shoot

    If think about it, if it were starting from 0ft AGL, or sea level, you’d run out of reception before getting to 9,600ft. A Phantom 4 Pro has a maximum (DJI reported) range of 5km on a really good day, which equates to about 1,665ft. I should think that reception would suffer significantly before...

    Dolphin chasing fish

    The daft fish kept swimming back in front of the dolphin each time it had just managed to escape the jaws. Darwinian selection at its finest. Great footage though. Nicely done.

    My p4p+ is dead on arrival?

    I think it will drift if it’s in ATTI mode and there’s the slightest breath of wind. You’ll need to check which mode you’re in, and see the manual for instructions on how to change it. I know others have alluded to it earlier in this thread, however I will say it again in my own blunt way (I...

    Are the Phantoms discontinued?

    I agree with Meta4, even if DJI are planning on releasing a new model, I don’t think they would be doing themselves any favours running the shelves dry. For one thing there must be a steady stream of parts required for repair and replacement purposes. People will continue to have accidents with...

    Best practice for memory card and files

    Just a couple of things spring to mind with this. I always try and copy (not cut or move) files off and then, when that operation has completed successfully, if I want to keep some things on the card, I delete them on the source memory card afterwards, or, I format it using whichever device it...

    Sensible new laws in the UK

    Well I totally agree with the need for more specific legislation, and I don’t disagree with expanding the no-fly zone area around airports, there is already a little enough space in the UK to fly. After living in Australia for 14 years, and then returning to the UK, I was somewhat alarmed by...

    New mkember

    Hello there Brian. Welcome to the forums. That’s a great offer, and it would be fun flying with someone else too. I’m over in West Sussex, however sometimes I am travelling around the Devon area, so if it’s OK I’ll send you a message if and when? Good luck with everything, Richard

    New 60 year old pilot in training! Bare with me!

    Hi Mr Booze. You’re very brave asking people to “bare” with you on the internet you never know what you might get in reply. Perhaps “bear” would have been better. Welcome to the group

    Arundel Dawn

    What a great picture. I am only just along the coast in Worthing. It looks like Arundel would be a good place to fly. Have you encountered any flying restrictions there? Or is there anything else that should be taken into account? Looks awesome,

    Dji goggles

    I’m pretty certain my ‘link’ cable came with my goggles. Anyway, I’ll assume that you don’t have one having around for yours, and I believe you need an HDMI type A to HDMI type C cable, or a normal HDMI type A to type A cable with an adapter, such as this one DJI Goggles HDMI (Type A) Female to...

    Don't Try This At Home

    Just a thought on this that sprang to mind, I have a set of filters that I bought from the DJI store. I haven’t used them yet, and don’t have the drone to hand to take a look. However, On my DSLR lenses I’m fairly certain that you can screw one filter onto the front of an existing one. Sometimes...

    Night time settings help please...

    Thank you. It was my choice though, but I have dual citizenship now too, so I can go back whenever I can afford it. I do miss flying my drone amongst all the mountains where I used to live. Amazing scenery and wildlife. And so green, so much green, and wonderful blue skies, day after day. And...
