Found my refurb'd P3P on Amazon a while back for $579. Looks like DJI will sometimes have some on their site and list some on Amazon. Mine came directly from DJI. Absolutely perfect when I got it and never regret my decision.

The details for the app state that Phantom 4's are supported. I've had really good luck with both Autopilot and Hangar so far. But since Hangar bought AutoFlight Logic, I'm surprised they weren't more helpful. The props have never been in any of my panos taken with Hangar 360. Be sure to...

Hmmm...I've had it take a while. You may want to exit the app then reopen. Your pano should show as a thumbnail in the app when it's finished processing. If not, one of the beta versions had a problem with this, but they said it was fixed. Hope it works for you!!

I liked the Litchi/Okolo too. I need to try the same thing using Autopilot. Hangar's advantage is that the process is automated. I'll have to see if there will be any way to manually lower the drone prior to taking photos.. A new beta version came out yesterday, but it's a little windy in...

I had an issue with drifting at 300 ft in one of the betas and was able to bring the drone down lower, but I don't think you are able to change the 300 ft unless there is an issue. Actually, 300 ft works great. I took this one at 300 ft over the house. Take a look: Hangar 360 Photo I think...

I finally got the chance to Beta test the upcoming Hangar 360 app. The app is as simple as it gets. Turn everything on, open the app, press the takeoff button, automatically file to 300 feet, automatically take 23 pano photos, automatically land, automatically upload the photos to your device...

I've had more problems using DJI Go than Autopilot, so my vote goes to Autopilot. It's worth spending the time to learn how to use it. There is a very steep learning curve and the YouTube videos can be overwhelming. I've spent a lot of time watching them over and over and I learn something...

Just saying hi! I got my P3P a few weeks before a trip to San Juan, PR in October. I've had a lot of fun flying my bird using the Autoflight Logic Autopilot app and am looking for new and interesting things to film. If anyone else in the Dallas area uses Autopilot, I'd enjoy comparing...

Olroy, Autopilot has a pretty cool feature that allows it to automatically upload flight data to Healthy Drones and DroneLogbook. If you haven't used either, all you have to do is sign up at each site, then enter the appropriate info in the Autopilot "Settings" section. I really like...

One more thing I noticed last night. Colin Guinn formerly of 3DR (I assume there can't be more than 1 Colin in the drone business) is the President of Hangar, the new company that bought Autoflight Logic, the company that created the Autopilot, Airspace, and Autoframe apps. I briefly owned 3...

DJI GO and AutoPilot are like night and day. If you are familiar with Go and are most comfortable using it, you will be amazed at how, with a little time, then a press of a button, the aircraft just goes and does what tell it or told it to do. To answer your question about split screen, I...

Ah, sorry! I misread your question. I'm not sure why you would use DJI GO when there are apps with many more elegant options like Autopilot or Litchi.

I would change the Focus Strategy to Joystick, Touch, or Device and you should be able to do it. Be sure to read the Flight School details on each option and then try each to see which works best. You may have trouble with the aircraft yaw, so I've had pretty good luck setting Focus Triggers...

Flyin Fun, Congrats on the Waypoint mission! I am relatively new to the drone community and it took a lot of research before I decided to purchase the Autoflight Logic Autopilot app. I have not regretted that decision even once. I love the Waypoint feature and flew my longest Waypoint...
