I sent a P4P v1 to DJI for repairs a couple of months and they returned it to me unrepaired stating that they stopped supporting the P4P v1 last July. I believe they may still support the P4P v2 (now RID compliant with firmware update), but I don't know with certainty. I sent my v1 to Drone...

I learned DJI stopped supporting the P4P V1 last July. I believe they still support the P4 V2 since they recently updated the firmware to be RID compliant. They still support the P4 RTK I operate (also recently updated to be RID compliant), but who knows for how long. I hear great things from...

I sometimes find that my P4Ps won't take off if I have a geozone unlocked and I'm not in it. I turn off the unlocked zone and can then take off, if that makes sense.

Sweet. Good place to mount a strobe light too. Thanks!

Good idea. Does it interfere with the drone's VPS?

Understood - thank you. I was about to buy an iPad Mini 6 for my P4Ps and Air 2S because of the screen's brightness, but it sounds like you saved me some grief!

My CrystalSky works very well with the P4P v1, but it and the P4P RC make for a heavy rig. cneedelman, can you confirm your iPad Mini 5 works with the P4P v1?

I too found that strobes have lessened the curiosity of birds towards my drones. Perhaps they see the lights and associate the drone as being manmade and unthreatening rather than a natural predator.

I regularly unlock DJI Geo Zones at home before traveling to the flying site. When doing so, instructions are uploaded to the authorized drone that allow if to fly in the authorized geo zone during the authorized time period, so it is already unlocked when I arrive on site. When flying with a...

I have seven DJI P4P OEM batteries I've sidelined because of swelling and difficulty removing them from the aircraft immediately after flight. Their cycles have ranged from 45 to 65 before swelling and I grounded them to err on the side of caution. But I have never had a performance or...

I produce mostly web marketing videos shooting in 4K with a P4P and Air 2S in H.264. I then most often edit and produce the final cut using H.264 reduced to 1920x1080, and only sometimes producing at full 4K. I'm considering doing some trials with the H.265 codec to try to save storage space as...

Welcome to the forum, jdaugherty, from a fellow NE Floridian! I've found this forum and its sister forums quite useful over the years and I expect you will too. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any NE FLA specific operating challenges.

Autopilot for iOS has a magnetic compass heading display feature I've used before: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/autopilot-for-dji-drones/id963963805

Found! I'll wrap this thread announcing that I sent the crashed P4P to DJI for a repair quote and they sent me a completely different like-new (refurbished, I presume) P4P for $311 that operated perfectly on its test flight yesterday. That's better than I was expecting to have to pay on the open...
