    In plain English please...the difference between atti and P modes

    In plain English please...the difference between atti and P modes

I agree. eventually...

    Signal lost at short distances

    Signal lost at short distances

    First time posting here. I'm using a phantom 4 pro. I havent really experienced any problems other then some video lag. the question I want to ask is. When in flight. At around 350ft altitude. I've only been able to fly out to a distance of 1500 to 1600 ft. Then start getting signal lost...
