If you fly drones, you will crash, fact of life, thinking otherwise is dillusional. Like working on cars, your hands will get dirty. I purchased a couple of refurbs after crashes, just as fine as originals. All the best, Rrrr

I ran into trouble with Go 4.x.x when my nVidia SHIELD K1 updated from Marshmallow to Nougat. Trouble meaning I started experiencing lot's of DJI 4 crashes after the OS update, tablet and aircraft were fine, just needed to restart Go 4, but it's still unnerving as hell in mid-flight. True...

Sorry for of your loss (I've lost three P4s due to crashes so I know your pain) but since you got your Mavic on the way, may I suggest a pair of DJI Goggles. I've got a P4 (sold my backup P4) and my wonder wife got me a Mavic Pro for X-mas. I just got the goggles recently, and boy it will make...

So am I correct that when I fly with my P4 (via USB to remote) I can enjoy the head/gimball tracking, but I forgo the benefits of the DJI Go 4 app (the map, video/image caching, flight logging?) Or does when flying the P4 with the Goggles (via USB to remote) the Goggles firmware instructs the...

After a crash last spring I needed a replace p4 PDQ, got a refurbished $799.00 from Dronenerds, and they shipped the next day as opposed to DJI which can take up to TEN days just to ship after taking your order, same warranty, etc. I had my replacement In three days.

I second this, as I 've had this a couple of times with my P4 both before and after the July 17 firmware update. Just land it VLOS or RTH, catch your breath, restart everything and you'll be okay, but scratching your head thinking WTF.

Olefolks is correct, if your K1 is brand new it may be already running Nougat which DJI Go 4 app crashes on. If you back the OS down to Marshmallow, it should run with no problems. I had nothing but troubles running my K1 after upgrading to Nougat, and after I went back to Marshmallow, no...

Happened to me last week on a breezy day, I had been shooting some DB pano missions with no problems, but on my last site, late in the afternoon and windiest, this happened when just after I ascended up to pano height, and after my first nadir shot. So I could see how the camera could have...

Wrestling with pigs guys...you know the rest. Wait for it, wait, yes here we go: Illegal Drone Slams Into the Stands at Baseball Game, Narrowly Missing Fans

Excellent question, here's where I would draw the line: When/where a person uses/manipulates a physical object in any manner which could cause serious harm to other persons or property either intentional, incidentally, or collaterally. Known examples already drawn: Boats and ships operated...

Here's an outliner opinion for you, snatch up a refurbished P4, save the remaining balance $700 for? Extra batteries, etc. I'm assuming you're not a masterclass landscape photographer (yet) and if you crash your bird, you're not out of business. After mastering your P4, you'll be ready for...

Warning, what follows is just an opinion, and much like @#$holes, they all can stink, so you've been warned ;-) The successful appeal makes sense in terms of black letter law, but the ramifications... I'm thinking about automobiles vs. horse and buggies at the beginning of the twentieth...

No-Fly-Zones, "NFZ" or now called "GEO System" is DJI's geo-fencing system that DJI which puts flying limitations on their aircraft, e.g. within 1.5 miles of large and small towered airports, prisons, US armed forces installations, war zones, etc., and in affect gives notice to "the operator"...

Greetings CRC, You'd mentioned that you're using Pix4d for mapping. Are you doing this for fun? Great (stop reading this paragraph), but if you're doing something for anything not for hobby, then you're talking about civil Part 107 flying. If you're flying Part 107, you're licensed and...

Sorry you're having issues, I just syncd 10 flights from today with no issues about three hoyts ago. I use the latest version of DJI 4 for Android.
