Can anybody tell me if I have a phantom 4 pro or a phantom 4 how can I tell the difference when I calibrate the imitation it has me move it around while calibrating
Phantom confused

Hi,
There are quite a few ways to tell. The easiest method would be:

- Look at the side of your Phantom. If it has the sensors shown in the picture below (in the rectangle) then it is a Phantom 4 Pro. No sensors = Phantom 4 Standard.
Wow, I've never seen a picture echo. Lol
Uh oh, I'm going to get it now. Lol
Oh well, I still live in 2018. You are a year a head of me. I'm always behind. Lol

Phantom 4 = front sensors
Phantom 4 Advance = front and rear sensors
Phantom 4 Pro = sensors on all 4 sides.

Phantom 4 Pro = sensors on all 4 sides.
He is confused if he has a standard or a pro- no need for added confusion throwing the advanced into the mix...
What you don’t think is right... in this case. Advanced only had forward facing OA sensors.
Post # 2 gives the clear simple answer to post #1. Post # 3 gives reinforcement with a picture to Post #2.
Definitely the saying applies here. " Keep it simple stupid".

I wasn't directing the saying to any person. Simplicity is always the best policy. We tend to over complicate things. I am the worst offender.
Most times personal opinions should be left out. A SIMPLE answer will do.
I hope the poster got his answer.
Wrong!!
Thank you for your efforts to speak for me however your assumtions, with respect to my intent- in particular to make fun of the OP have missed the mark completelty.
It remains unclear, at least to me what he was hoping to learn.
In any case my suggestion as to a simple means of ascertaining the model difference was not vague or difficult to understand. I suspect you agree given you offered the identical explanation. Whether a picture might be required to assist is questionable.
It doesn't what's confusing me is that when I calibrate the imitation I have to move it 6 different times which is the calibration for pro model my shell is a regular 4 but it doesn't calibrate like the regular model plus my camera is stuck to one side
There you go. You knew you had a standard (that was a fair assumption). Now the remaining confusion, for me anyway, was what you meant by “imitation”.
You think there is something wrong with your P4 because the compass calibration routine is the same as a P4 Pro? That is confusing still because all the phantoms have the same calibration routine.
Has the P4 been crashed? When did the crooked camera problem start? What happens when you try and calibrate the compass. What is your concern about having to move around with calibrating? You can either rotate your body or stand still while moving the phantom, in both orientations as instructed. What error are you getting (if any)?

Oh ok I thought there was a difference but that is a relief cause I was reading and someone said they calibrate different I bought it off eBay they said it was never crashed I just fixed the gimbal overload but the camera still looks to the left or right but it did fix the tilt also I get remote controller error I lose conection to my phone and it disconnect also it restart my phone
I am starting to think it has crashed and been fixed for sale there is decal on so I can't tell if it has marks but it does fly good just the gimbal looks left or right and connection error which I believe my be bug in app cause after I lose conection I still have control of the aircraft
I think he is refering to Inertial Measurement Unit Calibration, where you have to put your drone on all its sides.
No idea what does the camera have to do with the IMU though.

It will fly OK with something wrong in the gimbal. The app is probably fine. It is a good possibility it is the ribbon cable. It could be bad or it could also be catching on something.
