    Modding my remote went wrong

    Obviously its a problem with the connectio n to the usb board, probably the ribbon cable. Check it very carefully for misalignment If it isnt straight it can make contact on wrong rows.

    Why no waterproof version?

    It helps if yiu dont try a landing with 8 lines out trolling. I hit a rod tip and the drone made a loud plop. Now i have someone grab it out of the air.

    Drone fishing/drop rig setup

    Thanks for your constructive feedback. A phantom was chosen because of its video capibility. Limited fkight time is the biggest issue, but analog video just is not good enough for offshore spotting. Fpvblue is not realeased, and connex is range limited. What platform would you suggest? I happen...

    Drone fishing/drop rig setup

    Im starting a new long range fishing updrade on kickstarter. Current plan is to include a namebrand soner m.odule, along with a brand new flight time option. I could use another developer if anyone with develipment skill sets wants to join me. My latezt idea is new and very very cool. If you...

    Why no waterproof version?

    Ill be starting a whole new concept offshore upgrade on kickstarter this month, and may want to use waterstriders. I cant say a lot more yet, but it will fix flight time issues and many other problems. If anyone else is interested in a fish spotting, longe range phantom give me a shout. I could...

    Horrible video, what am I missing

    As soon as my drone takes off the video is horrible. I have both antenna tilted up so they are not pointed at the drone. Is my Ipad too slow to process the image data? The same thing happened with my P3Pro, so I'm sure it's me.

    firmware update recover?

    Ok, I learned a couple of things, the big one being the Assitant 2 program is unstable, luckily it copies the firmware to the drone, the the drone runs the update. The PC program justs receives status data, and can continue if the upload fails. Once the drone starts updating dont turn it off for...

    firmware update recover?

    Tried that many time. Usually fails at 30-40% update, did get to 56% once. Tried two windows PCs, no joy. The usb drivers are crap, or the implementation of them is. For best results use a very short, fat USB cable. I would also suggest not running any other apps/programs, but I suspect the...

    firmware update recover?

    My firmware update did not compelete because my dog stepped on the USB cable. Now every time I restart DJI Assistant it goes to Update 39% and the drone beeps. Any ideas?

    Why no waterproof version?

    I have sunk a P4. As an old RC guy all I could say was, oops. Floats over water make sense, because it's just another anchor with the motors dead :) For safety sake I'm adding floats, as well as sealing the main case anyway. The camera will need to take it's chances but if it gets wet with salt...

    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    I'm not reading this thread, nor posting, in complaint. I want to learn how to maximize the range. If I can do that by spending another $110, great, if it's $500 ok. I'm not bashing the product in any way. There needs to be another thread on range, without the complaints, but actual info...

    The Official "My P4 Range Is Too Short" Thread - Don't Start New Range Threads!

    All of my long range flights have been at least 20 miles offshore. So far I get really nervous when I can no longer see the drone :) But the signal is always perfect. Video however is different. I get a lot of broken up video. Will antennae and boosters improve that?
