    P4P crash repairs

    I flew my P4 in windy conditions that caused me to lose control and land very hard. At first I didn't think it was serious, however, it was. I sent it in for an estimate. The first estimate was around $300 so I told them to proceed. A couple days later they called and found that there was an...

    Forgetting to free up camera before taking off......

    I forgot about that foam thingy...... flew a couple times before I realized it was there..... I am beginning to think that if I take off and realize that the camera is secured.... no damage will occur as long as I land immediately and remedy the situation.

    Forgetting to free up camera before taking off......

    Thanks.... I just don't want to cause a problem that I should be able to avoid. I am adding colorful tags, zip ties, etc to remind me to remove the clamp.... better safe than sorry.

    Forgetting to free up camera before taking off......

    PV wireless FPV?

I am assuming that the frequency from the controller is the 2.4 GH....... I am beginning to think that the controller...

    PV wireless FPV?

    I love the goggles and the HDMI feed does provide a lot of information...... It may well be that the use of a 2.4G module may not work and, even if it does, it may not surpass the HDMI method. I just would like the option of not being connected to the controller all the time....

    PV wireless FPV?

    I have a P4. I purchased and installed the HDMI module so I could use my new set of Fat Shark V3 goggles. So far all is working great. Now I can fly in the daytime where before the glare on the Ipad mini was terrible. I ordered a Next Wave 5.8G module. I was hoping I could eliminate using...

    Need help. DJI won't cover flyaway crash. Ignores flight data.

    This is the 4th such crash I have seen in forums. Things they all had in common: River and bridges. In some of these cases, pilots tried to fly under the bridges. Bottom line.... be careful around big bridges and bodies of water. It appears that both conditions are needed. I have seen many...
