The Pasadena (CA) city hall is one of the most photogenic buildings I have ever seen. I intend to use my quad to fly around it and take various video/photo views. There is a large, open space (concrete for parking on the edge and events in the middle) in front of city hall. There is plenty of...

Outstanding!

Thank you! I haven't calibrated the compass for my back yard - only for a baseball diamond several miles away. Today (with the compass still not calibrated for my back yard) I flew again from the back yard. I tried return home only this time, I was standing right next to the circular table...

No - how do you do that?

Last weekend, I launched my P4 from a circular table in our back yard. I let it hover over the table for about 30 seconds to make sure it got a good look at the launch point, then I flew it. I flew it over the house and into the front year/street area, where I boogied it up and down the street...

Yes, but if I don't disable it, can I fly normally (in Regular Flight Mode) without it adversely affecting the way the quad flies?

I understand all about IFM. That's not my question. My question concerns Multiple Flight Mode. If you shut the quad down while it is in Multiple Flight Mode, when you next fly it, it will be in Multiple Flight Mode when you start it up. Can you go ahead and fly it normally in Multiple Flight...

Let's see - we've got Multiple Flight Mode, Intelligent Flight Mode and Regular Flight Mode. I understand that once you shut it down, you have to re-enable IFM if you want to use one of the intelligent flight modes. That wasn't my question. My question is: If put it into Multiple Flight Mode...

Not quite sure I understand - if I set it in Multiple Flight Mode, shut everything down and then take it out a week later, it will still be in Multiple Flight Mode. I get that. My question is, with it still in Multiple Flight Mode a week later, can I just fly it (switch on the controller set...

Thanks. I'm going to try to sneak out to the baseball diamond in between the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl game and try this out. Edit note: Got her done. Easy peasy. Re multiple flight mode. Can I leave it in multiple flight mode even though I don't intend to use any of the intelligent...

I have been unable to use ANY of the intelligent flight modes because I haven't been able to figure out how to access them, let alone activate them. However, I think I may have finally figured it out. Here is what I have come up with: 1. With the quad in flight mode P, take off. Pause in...

One of my favorites is the instruction manual that I call a "you can" manual. It is filled with information telling you all of the various things you can do with the product. "You can fly upside down under bridges with this craft." "You can set this craft to hop up and down and bring you a...

It does, but I'm still not clear on directional flight once in Home Lock. What I'm looking for is the ability of the quad (while in Home Lock) to respond to the sticks in exactly the same way it would if it was not in Home Lock and was facing directly away from the controller, i.e., with the...

Thank you, Rick. I ran into a little problem today attempting to put the quad into Home Lock. I thought you began the process by taking off and hovering the quad at least 20 feet away from the home point. I did that. The next thing I did was tap the quad icon (image of a quad with "OPTI" to...

Thanks again, guys. P it is!

My MAIN MAN!! Thanks.

You're right, you're right .... its P-S-A, not 4. These old eyes let me down. OK, but here's the thing. Yes, the instructions I have seen say to leave it at P, go into the APP, move it into Intelligent Mode, then into Home Lock, but THEN they say to go back to the controller and move the...

I can't seem to find anything on how to set up Home Lock on the Phantom 4. I have a P4 - NOT a P4 Pro, not a P2 or P3. It's a PHANTOM 4. There are loads of YouTube videos showing how to set up Home Lock on Phantoms 2 and 3 but I cannot find anything on how to do it on the P4. And it makes...

I posted this same question at Phantom Pilots and got essentially the same advice - don't do it. I have to remember that there is a certain level of public relations we must maintain as quad fliers and also that most of the people "out there" are not really sympathetic to drones in general...
