    New Phantom 5 Image Processor?

    It makes sense. The mavic 2 should not step in Phantom playground. And should be "better" than Mavic 1 and other Mavic Air. But then, I am just wondering if such a small change (from 1/2.3" to 1/1.7") will really change something in terms of IQ.

    issue with image/video flipping

    As I said, I downgraded, quite happy since then ! For pano, I fire Litchi. And I like it because there are more options about angles, nombre of pictures per raw etc.

    What were you like when you first flew?

    First flight (outside)... Night time, around 11pm, with my brand new P3A. July 2015. Super hot and humid. As usual in summer time. I was nervous. There were no GPS signal: as I was trying to take off near high rise buildings. But at that time, I couldn't figure out why... My knees were...

    Updating p4p

    I forgot to mention that before the flight, I checked everything: RTH altitude, and all other options. I had a good coverage of the GPS and no issues with IMU, compass and so on... Obviously, there was no Beginner mode set at all. And it looks like the Beginner mode was set "automatically"...

    Updating p4p

    What happened to me: I was with a friend and we went to get back his Mavic after repair by DJI. So we went there, got the new Mavic and tried it. Then since there was an interesting stadium, we tried to fly there. There were no NFZ, no TFR nothing. All clear. So, my P4P took off, no...

    issue with image/video flipping

    Same here. It is really freaking annoying... By the way, why did I ugrade ? I was accompagying a friend of mine who was about to get back his Mavic after repair. We went on a flight near the DJI shop and my drone at 60m I received an alert: you are limited to 50m of altitude and 30m of...

    Why I'm disappointed in DJI...

    I agree a lot with the OP. Maybe I am being selfish... But, since DJI released Mavic Pro and then Spark, the number of near mishap and other issues had grown exponentially !!! The reason is quite simple and obvious: A P3 or P4 or P4P, you need a certain learning curve and skills to fly it with...

    Bringing my drone to China - Zhangjiajie

    I live in China... In Guangzhou. I cross the "border" to HK very often and never had any issue. I also have my friends who are in and out of China with their drones and didn't have any issue. If you have any question, I would suggest to contact your airline, they might be of help. I am not...

My bag was crutinized, every paper I was carrying in my backpack and these were work realted ones... My comment was...
