    How to get charging started for deep discharged batteries

    I don't have a LiPo charger unfortunately, would this be just one for RC cars etc.? any specific requirements? I would be happy to do some dissecting to bring these back into service although I know it's not a given that they would then work. I saw a post by one P4 guy out there who found that...

    How to get charging started for deep discharged batteries

    Hi, typical story - phantom 4 packed away for house move, prior to this charged batteries, didn't check batteries during that time. Finding now that 2 of my 3 are not charging, no lights coming on during charge. The third was on one flashing light, and plugging it into the charger it has begun...

    Drone footage from Wales and a cycle carry pack

    Hi All, Here's our latest video with our Phantom 4, where we were using it on our walking, cycling holiday at the Mawddach Valley in Wales, UK. I remember that there's some interest here on seeing our green and pleasant Wales from the air. We're getting more confident about flying over water...

    Here's one for you, gimble fries and goes up in smoke

    Sorry to hear about your double bad luck. If I was away from home and forgot my card reader but wanted to do some editing I would have been quite likely to have used a USB cable instead, so thanks for sharing!

    Nice Artwork using drones

    Hi All, probably wrong place but this is the part of the site where I hang out and I will be trying to do this with my P4. A friend sent me a link from a UK sunday newspaper to a site with interesting artwork that uses a drone to warp reality to create scenes that recreate an inception/halo type...

    Backpack for P4?

    Thanks Adambfarmer for the info. I had seen that video but not watched it in it's entirety. Here's my bird ready for her flight to Greece this weekend. I went with the Manfrotto D1 and it's served me very well so far with hikes into the mountains - maybe not quite as comfortable as a nice Osprey...

    Flying apps for the Phantom.

    Is it true that if you use another flying app instead of purely DJI Go there would be issues in the case of a warranty claim?

    Camera Serial Number

    I notice on the dji care application form they also asked for a separate serial number for camera, but there's a tooltip which explains that on P4 there is only one number. Maybe you could refer to to use same terminology with them

    Adaption to P4 gimbal clamp for PolarPro filters

    Hi All, I'm sure others have done this, but I just thought I'd share in case people were toying with the idea of getting further filters. I adjusted the stock gimbal clamp of the P4 to allow housing of the camera with Polar Pro filters attached. (the filters are a little wider than the stock UV...

    CA TOP SPEED?

    Hi John, I have been thinking this too about my P4. I'm pretty sure that, bar beginner mode/max altitude, out of the box it would be set for top speeds for the P/S modes. I haven't calibrated the controller, I couldn't see where to do this but I've not had it long so I didn't really think it...

    Flight Record

    Hmm mine records pretty consistently. Sometimes I notice it seems to merge some where I have momentarily landed. Are you looking in the DJI app?

    Just purchased a 4!

    No you can't remove it ( you probably could if you knew what you were doing) its heavily integrated. You'll get in with it just fine. Have fun!

    Ejecting propeller on P4

    Yeah - I practiced quite carefully at home but when you're out ahead of flying it, possibly with people watching you don't feel that confident click like you do at home. Anyway you learn. Any damage to yours when this happened - could you fly anyway?

    Ejecting propeller on P4

    Had some good flights of our Phantom 4 over Easter in Wales. On one occasion I didn't put one of the propellers on properly by accident - I caught it on film below in slo-mo (at about the 3min mark in the vid, sorry can't work out how to get it to skip to the relevant part). It basically...
