    P4 tipped when landing. Props hit the ground. Motor damage?

    I was trying to map a small creek area with my Phantom 4 RTK a few days ago in a canyon when it was a little breezy and squirrely. The local forecast was for 10-15 mph winds without significant gusts but wind picked up shortly after launching and I started to get wind warnings so aborted and did...

    Photogrammetric processing of a shaded valley floor

    I need to use my P4 RTK to fly and prepare a photogrammetric point cloud and orthophoto (using 3DSurvey) of the floor of a narrow valley that is fully shaded until about 9am. There are some tall trees and the shadows are getting rather long already even at high noon. With the P4 camera set to...

    How to download flight logs from GL300N controller

    Can anyone provide instructions on how to download flight logs from the P4 RTK GL300N controller (with the small built-in screen, not the SDK controller)? I've Googled the question and found a couple of different sites that give steps (by plugging the controller into the computer and logging in...

    P4 RTK controller screen shots

    Is it possible to take a screenshot on the GS RTK controller (with the 5.5" attached screen) for the P4 RTK? I can find references for taking a screenshot on a tablet when attached to an SDK controller but not for the GS RTK. Thanks.

    No auto-takeoff or auto-landing buttons on my display.

    What are you using for a controller although not sure if that makes a difference. I use a the fixed screen controller and don't want to misdirect you with irrelevant comments if the tablet/phone controller menus behave differently. I've had a takeoff problem when using the Terrain Awareness...

    Unlocking to fly in a Class E airspace

    I'm using a Phantom 4 RTK with the built-in screen on the controller (controller GL300N) and need to map an area (about 40 acres) that is partially in Class E airspace that extends to the surface. I've received a LAANC Authorization for a couple of days from now. Am I going to run into a DJI...

    Advice for best setup for P4P + v2 for mapping and photogrammetry

    I'm a hydrologist/geomorphologist and picked up a P4 RTK with a GL300N controller a couple of years ago for fishery and river work as well. Prior to purchasing, I hired a pilot with a P4P to fly projects for me and then processed the images myself using the 3DSurvey software. For this kind of...

    Phantom 4 Pro V2 is now RID compliant

    Many of us feel your pain. I have the same problem with the P4 RTK RID since updating the firmware when is came out several weeks ago (RID S/N shows on the controller screen so appears to be installed correctly, but RID doesn't show on the Drone Scanner apps I've tried, both Android and IPhone)...

    Saving Satellite Imagery for off-line use

    Yep. I'm sure. I have the GL300N controller with the attached, small screen (no tablet). While in the office early last week I set up a new 2D project on the controller to fly in a very remote area (no cell service and definitely no wifi within a 30 minute drive). When I opened up the...

    Saving Satellite Imagery for off-line use

    It appears that a recent P4 RTK firmware upgrade has brought back satellite image caching for the controller with attached screen. Some of my projects are repeat flights. If I Open an older task created earlier this year (e.g. pre-September) when caching was not available and then Edit, Save...

    Phantom 4 RTK is RID

    I'm curious what success other P4 RTK users have had getting RID to work after installing the recent firmware upgrade. I've updated the firmware and registered the new S/N with the FAA so, as far I can tell, I meet the compliance rules. However, the Drone Scanner apps on my IPhone 12 and...
