P4 batteries are increasingly difficult to obtain, resulting in the necessity to purchase whichever options are currently available. While this does not imply that these batteries are suboptimal, it is important to consider whether any potential issues may outweigh the benefits. To mitigate...

Great bit of kit the P4 and heaps of knowledge in the forum espc singer.

If you take the SD card out do you receive an image on your phone or is there no image? On the face of it, it looks like a poor cable connection but...

I must admit I missed this when you first posted it Pygar. I'll need to pay attention. I hadn't realised the cascades were so extensive so once again proves the value of a nice sturdy P4P.

Nah, still lurking & P4P she still be flying, albeit with a few cracks on the battery covers.

GFields: because I'm on a learning curve I set my last waypoint near waypoint one and instructed it to land. I was working out accuracy, which is pretty good. In other missions I go for RTH. Litchi seems to be a great bit of kit though and fun to play with.

Thanks for that Rod, got a bit busy out of area and net connection was variable to none.

No, didn't think to turn on CC but great to see the info. Metres aren't a problem because we operate in those but old enough to recall the old Imperial, feet and inches as well (bit rusty though). So I guess easy way to plan a mission would be to grab a contour map and work off that, bearing in...

Thanks RodPad & will certainly pick your brains. I note that on the return path of your flight the pine tops seemed to be a bit closer to the Phantom. This was my main concern and why I set my path around 1-200m above ground. Hopefully that will work when I get lower and into the more hilly...

Decided to try out the Litchi App but being conservative I seem to have been enthusiastic and set the height a bit high. I planned the flight on the MissionHub and exported it to the iPad. I did discover that apparently the gimbal can be controlled from the RC during the flight (no idea if this...

Yep Andy definitely an interesting place. I noticed the props in shot on occassion. Personally it doesn't worry me, because I do the same with the P4, but one of the other forum members suggested that flying backwards keeps the props out of shot. Just make sure there's nothing in the way.

well I found that interesting on a few levels. Good work Andy.

Nice job there.

Nice coverage bronis; they should be glad to see that footage.

Really well done Pygar. Yarra's looking good at night and I see you parked your boat at the wharf :yum:
