    Update Ipad mini4 to IOS 11

    iPad Mini 4, 32gb, WiFi only. Running iOS 11.0.2 with issues: The camera/gimbal resets randomly. Screen will freeze and go black and white, message displays about no video signal, then video signal returns, with the camera facing bottom left, landing gear in view. It appears the gimbal resets...

    Phantom Tilted (entire drone, not just horizon)

    If there's even a tiny bit of wind, the aircraft will tilt to compensate and avoid drifting (unless you are in ATTI mode). If you see a tilt and your drone hovers in one spot perfectly, your drone is functioning as designed. The motors are stationary and cannot move. The way the aircraft moves...

    Send your P5 WishList!

    1) An even better Camera than P4P (mechanical zoom?) 2) Quieter drone. 3) No Propellers in shot (maybe the camera can extend lower once drone is in flight). 4) Stream 1080p to controller. 5) Top sensor for a 6-way object avoidance 6) Lighter materials or more efficient motors for faster and...

    Foreign Visitor to USA - want to buy Phantom 4 and extra batteries

    Anything is possible if the price is right. What do you consider a reasonable price? Would have to consider overnight shipping for that delivery window. I've got a pristine P4 with two extra batteries (3 total) a little over two months old.

    Returning P4 for P4P

    Yes, completely fair. Their return policy doesn't state exceptions to loyal customers or special treatment. Hell, I don't think they give a **** about their customers, from the sounds of it. Their customer service has a bad reputation, but they still have so many customers that they cannot meet...

    Gimble me this.... (Bird strike or retarded gimble?)

    Could've added some voice overs... "may day may day! we're going down!" looks pretty cool..although if I saw that I would've **** my pants. I'd chalk this one up to gimbal glitch. Just the other day, I was flying in sport mode just having some fun, maneuvering and doing some crazy stuff. Gimbal...

    Can phantom 4 be updated to get the same flight time as phantom 4 pro?

    Highly doubt it. Considering the new camera needs new processing chips to handle the data demands...that would mean a swap of the board itself, which is designed totally different because of all the new sensors' circuitry. It won't be as simple as just swapping the gimbal and camera.

    Trickle down features from P4P to P4?

    I completely agree. The Phantom 4 is not obsolete due to this the new addition. Realistically for me, my next upgrade would be two generations from now, meaning, Phantom 5 Pro? I can't even imagine what that'll have. The new features are nice, but the technology is too fast for it's audience in...

    I must have hit something in the air..

    Bugs, that was my first surprise when I flew my drone for the first time. Don't be surprised if you fly in sport mode over a field...after a few minutes, your whole drone would be covered like the front of a car. 45 MPH + Swarm of bugs = messy clean up. I always wash my propellers at the end of...

    Trickle down features from P4P to P4?

    Keep in mind, the 2 minutes also accounts for more hardware (sensors, processing power, etc) on the P4P. So, maybe on the P4, we'll get more than 2 minutes? Maybe 5? Hell, at the same price point, its a win either way. Sucks, I just recently bought two batteries at full price. Had I known this...

    Warranty work oddity? (and support story)

    Nothing wrong with refurb units if they're in perfectly functioning condition and no wear and tear. Hell, it's better than the one you sent in, right? Apple has done this for over 7 years with their iPhones. I've replaced most of my iPhones under warranty and they do not repair it most of the...

    Flawless in Heavy Wind

    You guys are way too brave. I flew in about 20mph with gusts by the ocean coast last weekend. It handled it real well, surprisingly still hovered pretty stable granted there were gusts..

    Why is the Phantom 4 still expensive?

    When a new Honda Civic is introduced, the Honda Accord's price doesn't drop significantly.

    When reading the manual is considered a tip...o_O No wonder this hobby gets a bad name.

    p4

    How do you balance them? Set it onto something in the center to see if it tip's to one side?
