    No wifi from drone

    Even when the drone has had a hard crash it would be helpful to get some more info for instance on color and action (flashing) of the front and back lights of the drone when the AC is on (see the P4P manual page 14 for explanations and the various patterns). And how do you know it can fly...

    DJI no longer sells replacement batteries for the Phantom 4

    Sorry Carlos, I wish it were true but it isn't. Amazon does not have DJI ORIGINAL batteries in stock on Amazon. The last 2 they were showing this morning for 156,-- Euro's each are not visible anymore. All kinds of fantasy brandnames pop up but not DJI. Also, DJI in EUROPE does not offer any...

    DJI no longer sells replacement batteries for the Phantom 4

    Interesting but ! DJI does not sell Phantom 4 batteries in their webshop in EU (I am in France and tried Netherlands and Belgium as well). I have 1 non DJI battery from Amazon sold als Intelligent Flight Battery for DJI Phantom 4. And a good after market brand (1 week old battery with the same...

    What app to use for battery testing along a fixed mission / flight path

    So far I did find some differences in the data registered. They depend more on the battery used then on the app used. I can now see all needed data in Airdata and also differentiate the batteries based on the reported 'printed serial' so I do not need to rely on my written notes later...

    What app to use for battery testing along a fixed mission / flight path

    I am doing my analysis based on the Airdata battery info from the Lite/Free version so that works great indeed. The screenshot came from their app.

    What app to use for battery testing along a fixed mission / flight path

    Dear all, Today I have started a test to find out which of my (just 3) batteries offers the best performance. I have 1 original Obsidian P4P, 1 white non-DJI and 1 black 123Accu.nl battery I created a nice mission to do this in Litchi and analyse the data in Airdata based on the Tabs : General...

    P4P slow Gimbal action

    I replaced nothing, I only repositioned the original materials a bit for more movement freedom. Thank you for your reaction. Erwin

    Phantom 4 pro camera face down.How to fix

    The mechanical corrections I did yesterday have not solved the slow horizon action at all. I can not post a video here so a link should help, it has a 10 second video showing a quick turn left and the 8 (?) seconds return to horizontal of the camera.

    Phantom 4 pro camera face down.How to fix

    It is a second hand drone and I do not have insight in its history. Moving the 3 axis by hand, when listening very carefully to the gimbal movement I did hear some inside scraping and just did some small corrections. I will do a test run tomorrow and gather some video footage of the sloppy /...

    Phantom 4 Pro + - Go4 waypoints - many questions

    Today I have tried my first waypoints flight. I have quite some observations that I would some comments on by experienced users. I fly a + which has the GL300E with its connected screen. At the end of setting up a waypoint mission I do not see the 2 buttons for choosing 1. Head to: and 2...

    New Light Painting

    Thank you for the extensive explanation. I will have to work on my basic drone flying skills before I can go here but will certainly be trying some simple shapes the coming summer months.

    P4P slow Gimbal action

    Thank you both for the suggestions. After a factory reset the gimbal speed adjustments should also be reset and the same for the other drone that I compared it with. I have done all resets and all (auto) calibration steps. I found a gimbal rebuild error on my part and corrected that. But the...

    P4P slow Gimbal action

    I am comparing 2 P4P drones (one white and one obsidian). The gimbal on the white one acts very different and a lot slower than the other one. I have reset and verified all gimbal parameters but still when flying the gimbal recovers from the AC turning rather slow. It takes about 1-2 seconds to...

    New Light Painting

    These are very nice. Can you tell me a bit about how this works ? What do you use as light source and how do you switch the source on and off in mid flight or per pre-set waypoints. How do you set up a flight with the needed waypoints to get to the figure outline. Thank you. Erwin
