    Cracked battery casing

    Sorry if I misled you. I didn't find replacements, I just disassembled a bloated one, to see how it was made. I guess I need to start keeping the parts, eh?

    Bring my drone to exactly the same GPS location once a month.

    You might have better luck just launching straight up from the exact same spot, to the exact same altitude, and angle the camera to lock onto a specific landmark. My Hyperlapse software (from Microsoft, free now) will "align" the frames somewhat as it renders. You will also have to contend with...

    Where on God's Green Earth can a person find a P4P Gimbal YR ESC Board?

    Did you replace the yaw motor? That could be an issue, according to this guy: Go to 4:15 into the video and see what he says about "matching" the yaw motor housing to the existing electronics.

    Phone wont connect, but gets power from RC?

    Have you installed more than 1 flight app (Go4 and Litchi, for example)? Sometimes they can interfere with each other.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Another thing to consider is time of day. I have been flying downtown in my area for several days at 3 different times. 9:30AM, 11:30AM, and 3:30 PM. It's amazing how much worse the reception is in the afternoon, with the added cell phones and devices competing for bandwidth. My FPV image goes...

    Invasion of Privacy

    What dumba$$ would fly up to a dark window at night, with the drone lights on? It doesn't fly like a drone, the positioning of the lights doesn't make sense to me, either. What drone can you look straight at and see 4 equally spaced lights in a row, at an angle, to boot. I especially like the...

    Android tabs for p4p v2

    I just ran CPU-Z on my P4P Plus: Quad 1.61 Rockchip and 4Gb RAM. Full specs in pdf.

    Android tabs for p4p v2

    A good rule is the get at least quad speed (1.5Ghz minimum) and at least 3Gb RAM, IMHO. Buy more than you need, dedicate it to the job (don't load it with other stuff), and you'll be ready for the next generation of DJI-Go (hopefully).

    I think he was being serious. The more flat/desolate the area, the best chances for long distances.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Oh, it works for sure. It directs all your communication towards the bird, instead of the basic 360 scenario. You do have to mind the direction the transmitter is facing.

    How to: Tiny Planet, with P4P?

    Here is what you need to start with: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/osmo/DJI_Media_Maker_1.0.2_Installer_en.dmg I use the windows version, works great. They you use another photo editor to manipulate it from there.

    I didn't realize that. Guess it pays to check in more often. Thanks!

    What am I doing wrong?

    A 12 buck reflector can be your best friend if you want distance, but trees, buildings, objects in between the bird and the RC are the biggest issue for me...

    Yeah, I was wondering the same. I asked Ash at DroningON (who broke the story) if the ARGOs catalog had a Phantom 5 page, he said no. :(
