    Random VPS readings 100m off the ground

    I'm getting these at high altitude, thought I'd share. Got 'vision system error' 2 days ago, hasn't happened since, (did the sensor calibration on pc, all on latest software, but I still get these random readings).

    3D printed part request (for Phantom 4)

    Anyone make the little plastic landing gear covers? I got in a crash and they don't sit flush anymore (had to replace the gimbal too). I managed to pop in some of them, but 2 look really bad and won't snap in I'll be getting new landing gear if I can't find any. Apologies if this is not the...

    No altitude reading...

    I'll give it a try, hoped it didn't have to come to that since my usb ports are unreliable (and I don't want to install extra drivers if I don't have to).

    No altitude reading...

    I've been having this issue since the last firmware update, my altitude reading freezes up and does not update at all, no matter how high or low I go. (speed and distance update just fine) It happens most often after I lose signal. Anyone experiencing something like this? It's a bummer since...

    Registration and getting your drone back

    I was thinking more in terms of someone finding a lost drone and is not willing to return it. Do you have experience with third party trackers?

    Registration and getting your drone back

    There should be a 'Find my Drone' feature on these things (since the gps is always on) , maybe even a blacklist feature so the next time a stolen drone goes online it gets deactivated.

    Did something hit me?

    Hopefully its this, its never happened since. I don't remember, but I've noticed said behavior in Sport Mode, there are times I could not keep a strait line in that mode, footage gets jittery, nothing like in this case though. Never seen that message before (Phantom 3 used to have "Gimbal...

    Did something hit me?

    My new Phantom 4 gave me quite the scare today, thought I'd share. I've never had anything like this happen before, had a p2 and a p3 before this There was almost no wind, I was above any cables, upon inspection the only notable thing was some grime marks on the props: (I'm not 100% sure...

    Eagles Vs. Drones

    This is a terrible idea, especially if the drone has powerful motors and carbon fiber props.

    which version on Phantom (1,2,3 or 4) is best?

    I had the p3p and now the p4. My p3 had the crooked horizon issue, once I got the toilet bowl effect. Other then that it worked flawlessly. p4 is much more stable, its great if you like to fly close to objects. You will only notice the improved battery life if you fly slowly. The snap on prop...

    Can my P4 be saved?

    Looks great considering how long its been under water.

    P3A vs P4: a brief comparison

    Imo the p4 is worth getting just for the front facing sensors , not for the avoidance features, but because they help flying close to distant objects without fear. Judging distance is really hard for me with FPV alone, with these I fly out of sight with confidence, even get as close as 5 meters...

    P4 vs. P3 Comparison Thread (Title Changed)

    Avoidance tech and some redundancy is nice and all, but what I really wanted was significantly longer flight times... May pass on this one.

    Toilet bowl effect??

    Ï got the exact same thing today, P3P... couldn't land. When I went up`higher the circling stopped. I was finally able to bring it down low enough to hand catch when I moved 50 meters away from my initial position. (the circling stopped at my new location) I have flown at this location before...

    Lets talk battery life

    My original battery has 21 cycles on it, after the 15th charge the battery only shows 98% after being fully charged, battery life still shows 100 %. (Due to misinformation I fully drained the battery the first 2 times using it... ) After I realised my mistake I did the battery break in progress...
