    Have there been any reports of a Phantom causing a fire?

    Since the batteries can catch fire I'm curious if there have been any incidents of a Phantom causing a fire. Example accidents might include it dropping from the sky or crashing into a tall obstacle, then falling into dry grass. Please include a link if you can.

    In Peaking Threshold what does Close mean?

    In my Phantom 4 Pro Plus camera settings there is a "Close" option in addition to the high, normal and low. Any references about this?

    Phantom 4 Pro Plus footage slightly cockeyed

    I have noticed in recent footage that the horizon is a little cockeyed (not level). I placed the P4P+ on a level surface (0% according to my iPhone) and ran the IMU calibration and then the gimbal calibration. Then I took the P4P+ out for a flight. As soon as I turned on the P4P+ I noticed a...

    "Strong interference. Fly with caution" right next to drone!

    I get the same message on a P4P+, in the countryside with my iPhone nowhere near.

    Drone footage from recent disaster areas seems to break rules

    Here's a good article about flying over people, when under FAA jurisdiction.

    Drone footage from recent disaster areas seems to break rules

    I thought this section is for friendly discussion, not a deposition. I presumed some readers here have recently watched TV news reports from the natural disaster areas, given the 24/7 coverage, and any UAV pilot can recognize UAV footage. If I were seeking help troubleshooting a problem the...

    Drone footage from recent disaster areas seems to break rules

    TV news reports (e.g., BBC, CBS, PBS) about the recent natural disasters, whether from Mexico, Florida or Texas, include aerial footage that appears to have been shot from a UAV. It's not unusual for the shots to be over crowds of people, traffic, etc.. Every time I see such a such a shot I...

    Solution needed: DJI Goggles easily fall off when flipped up

    Here's a picture where I used some white suspenders purchased from Amazon for $7 with Prime shipping. There's plenty of room within the upper loop to adjust the goggles' headband sizing wheel. With suspenders attached the goggles feel much more stable and I can move around freely.

    Seeking a DJI Go-compatible tablet that has GSM/Glonass and HDMI

    Thank you, QuadKid, for your reply. I stupidly failed to include a Litchi requirement in my original post. The CrystalSky does not allow 3rd party apps like Litchi. Bummer.

    Is there a currently shipping tablet that has HDMI out and is fully Litchi compatible?

    I'm looking for a currently shipping tablet that: 1. supports DJI GO and Litchi 2. has GSM/Glonass 3. has an HDMI output for DJI Goggles The only one I've read about is the NVIDIA Shield but it appears to be discontinued.

    Map window not displaying on iOS 10.3.3 dji go 4 app 4.1.5

    Resetting DJI GO to factory default solved the missing map problem for me.

    Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter disappointment

    Thanks for replying. That's a less than stellar endorsement of the HDMI adapter (and echos other posts I've read). Thus my curiosity about alternatives. One alt I intend to investigate is buying a tablet with HDMI output. One writer said that for the slight delta in cost the results are worth...

    Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter disappointment

    Out of curiosity I bought Apple's HDMI/Lightning dongle to try with my iPhone 7 Plus. I had faint hope that I could connect my P4P RC to the iPhone via this dongle while simultaneously using its HDMI output for DJI's Goggles. No joy. DJI Go says "disconnected". It's not seeing the RC through the...

    If You use Litchi and VR Goggles Read

    I put my iPhone 7 Plus in a slightly modified SunnyPeak Deluxe VR Headset. Litchi's VR mode display looks great -- at first glance similar to the view in DJI Goggles. BUT, before I attempt to fly with that rig I'm curious how you folks deal with the phone being inaccessible inside the headset...
