    Propeller issue

    WOW! I guess if it doesn't go on properly check the rotational markings if you can see them on the prop. Great information. Thanks for sharing!

    Propeller issue

    Interesting! All the more reason to stick with the genuine DJI props!

    Propeller issue

    I know exactly what you mean. I had a similar event while landing once. But we do have to take advantage of those possible once in a life time shots. I have seen some very beautiful pictures from Iceland from a friend who visits there! Very beautiful!

    Propeller issue

    You may be able to fly but I would limit the amount of time if you really have to fly. the imbalance will cause problems with the motors and additoal vibrations may effect you photoes or videos and shake other parts loose. If it was me, I would replace the Props. I always carry a spare set.

    Antenna signal.

    I can check my Phnatom 4 with a Spectrum Analyzer! It isn't easy since the frequency shifts and you need to do it at a location with no WiFi!

    Swapping Controller Built In Screen

    You can buy a 300C or F remote and save the E (with screen). Then get a Crystal Sky! I have one and it works great and can even be seen in Bright sun!

    Does anyone really trust their altimeter? Should we?

    I noticed over water with waves the altitude at low levels would var with the waves. Once high enough over the water no difference.

    What's with the range of these?

    Wind seems to be the biggest where I am. We can't for get the cold in the Winter. I usually put the drone away in the winter! Multipath isn't the biggest issue I get. I run into a lot of WiFi channel traffic!

    What's with the range of these?

    Flight time has a lot of variables playing on it. Winds, number of satellites, How fast you are flying, how much you are recording or snapping! I run to about 30% and average about 20 to 24 minutes per battery!

    What's with the range of these?

    I have found with my Phantom 4 that the range varies from where I am flying from. I depends on how much WiFi and 2.4gHz and 5Ghz is in the area. The best I got was 0.75 miles. Also line of site is important. Any man made or natural obstruction can vary the range. The biggest limitation is...

    I have had an issue with my Phantom 4 where the gimbal just goes off and the camera is just hanging. I visually fly it back land and reboot the drone and it works great again. This has happend to me twice in the 2 years. I did check connectiones and everything looked good!

    99 hours and 41 minutes in the air, then ........................... 100% pilot error, then ....................................... miracle save!

    I had an instance where the controller and tablet locked up and I lost all monitoring of the drone and it appears no control. After what seemed to be an eternity I heard the drone and it came in for a landing. I am sure glad I set up the return to home parameters! I since then replaced the...
