    Drop out after ~100m (previously 600-800+)

    P3S Camera MAJOR overheating

    Equipment Left in Hot Car All Day?

    If I leave my P4, controller, charged batteries, etc. in my car all day--which may get very hot--are there any problems taking it out and flying it right away?

    NewB pilot with a question (Thermal)

    Hi guys, Since a couple of days I am the proud owner of a DJI Phantom 4. I am really loving the craft and I am having a blast everytime it is airborne :-) There is still a burning (heheh) question that I am having, Is there any way to mount a Thermal camera to the P4? Preferably with live...
