    Not flying straight

    Yep. No need to send it back. Here's the fix: With the P4 or P4P turned off, gently turn the camera as far as it will go in the opposite direction that it is tilted toward when powered on...then keep turning it a bit. There are rubber grommets internally holding the floated gimbal unit in...

    P4 gaining altitude WITHOUT input (VIDEO)

    Chatting with DJI now...they suggested I "calibrate the IMU and compass." Thank you, DJI, never would have thought of that! :mad:

    How often are the batteries cracking?

    All my original-run batteries (with the more diffused status and ring LEDs) cracked above the third status LED. DJI replaced them

    P4 gaining altitude WITHOUT input (VIDEO)

    VIDEO: DJIP4MysteriousRise I've owned eight separate P4 units. My very first one wouldn't hold altitude well...bobbed up and down constantly. All other were fine...until now. I sold my best P4 to get a P4P...wasn't as impressed with the P4P as I was hoping (and had a wonky gimbal). So, I...

    Not flying straight

    I had the same problem on my first P4P (already sent back)...I reviewed a flight last night where I was pushing full forward stick (no side rudder/yaw/pitch) and the P4P traveled diagonally. Then I went full stick backward and the P4P traveled slightly diagonally the opposite direction...

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    Yeah, I figured I got a bad bird. Like I said, I went through quite a few original P4 units before landing on a good one. In the video, my P4P was in P-mode with obstacle avoidance enabled (definitely NOT Sport mode).

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    Here ya go. The video below is AFTER the IMU calibration. I put a yellow line as a reference to highlight the gimbal jumps as I move forward and backward with the P4P. GIF: DJI P4P GIMBAL JUMP VIDEO: P4Pgimbaljump

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    That is the opposite of how I feel about the P4P. I was adjusting attitude sensitivity and other parameters, but no dice. It was breezy, but not what I would call windy...footage is much jumpier than my original P4.

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    I'll try to put something together. I have no idea if it's just my P4P or if it's all of them (took me seven or eight P4 units to get one I liked...ha). I will say that my P4P came with camera ribbon cable that got hung up on itself (it's the ribbon cable inside the cylindrical housing on the...

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    I calibrated the IMU, readings were much better. However, performance was the exact same. While I do think the P4P produces superior images (both stills and video), I don't think the video shots are as stable as the original P4. It's going to be a long cold winter where I am, so I may just pack...

    P4P First Flight Impression: gimbal not as stable as P4

    EDIT: Video below. Did IMU calibration, didn't help. Just had my first P4P flight, 45-degrees and breezy outside. My main takeaway was that the gimbal/camera is not as steady as my old P4 (which I sold). Now, I will say that my P4P threw an IMU error that cleared after a minute (telling me to...

    No P4P manual focus on iPhone?

    Tried deleting DJI Go 4 app off my phone and reinstalling. No dice. Anyone else have an iPhone and an iPad to test? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

    No P4P manual focus on iPhone?

    Haven't flown yet (bad weather), but I've been setting up my P4P (which came with a poorly-installed camera ribbon cable)... I see that I can focus manually with my iPad, but not my iPhone 6s...the focus slider never shows up (yes, I have manual focus enabled). Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone...

    P4P zoom issue ?

    Are you filming at 4k? No zoom at 4k I believe.
