Hi

I have recently purchased a P4 and i have noticed that when i hit auto land on the app it lands its quite hard. I had a P3 4k before this and the landings were soft as but this one comes down with a thump. Any Ideas.
 
There isn't a lot you can do short of an IMU calibration and a position sensor calibration. The IMU is pretty straight forward, but the sensor calibration is a bit complex. Here's a YouTube video showing how to calibrate the forward and downward sensors on the P4:

It does come down a bit hard I agree. I always cancel my about RH about 6' above and take control for a much smoother landing.

Are you landing in sport mode? I'm not 100% sure but I believe the bird descends even faster in S mode.

Hi, thanks for your help. I'm landing just in normal mode, just thought it was a bit strange from my phantom 3 4k which was so smooth when landing. Thanks again, Tony
