Thanks for the photo! Very much appreciated!!

Yes, a photo would be very helpful, if it's not too much trouble. Thank you. Do you know ... are the pitch board for the P4 Standard and P4Pro interchangeable?

I replaced the pitch motor with no improvement, so it must be something else. The guy I bought it from said he left the gimbal guard on once, but I don't know how long it took him to shut down or remove the guard. I don't know enough about the workings ... when you run an IMU calibration, is...

Still looking for a solution to a gimbal issue. I have a Phantom4Pro-v1, bought used. The seller said he started it once with the gimbal guard still in place, but it appeared to be working OK. Too late, I noticed that upon start-up, the gimbal does it's normal dance but after it finishes the...

In a couple of past posts I read that there is a compass in the forward leg of both landing gears. I’ve learned there are also antenna wires in the landing gear legs. With my RID module mounted on the rear leg of the landing gear the compass reports as normal, but the RTH button on the...

I’ve only flown it a couple of times since attaching the RID, and didn’t notice anything unusual in simple flights. What sort of issues do you think it might cause? Perhaps I’d notice something abnormal if I were watching for something specific. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, and my pitch motor works, but the camera ”slips” and rotates downward about 30 degrees after the startup routine completes. The thumb wheel will rotate the camera upward so that the lens axis is parallel to the ground (0 degrees) but when the camera is in that...

So they know I've been flying in a community park, or recording construction progress, or you've been shooting real estate video or conducting a search for a lost hiker, or whatever. How is that a threat to national security, even if the amount of data they collect from me & you is multiplied...

I'm flying a P4 Standard. If I chose to fly a map pattern all of the photos are stored on the SD card. Is there evidence that the data is communicated to China while the drone is in flight? When the drone lands, I shut it off .... data can't be transferred if the drone isn't powered up, can...

There have been a lot of claims that DJI is collecting drone data that has security implications. If the anti-DJI folks have evidence that we flyers are inadvertently providing data that imperils national security, is it available to the public? Where?
