    Precise Fly Safe Database and a Connector Cord

    Kent: I was/am already registered there. I note they have a Firmware forum among all of their other forums. I looked at some of the posts and saw that I am apparently venturing into a whole, new world - one that I presently know NOTHING about. What a hassle!

    Precise Fly Safe Database and a Connector Cord

    Rick: I checked and DJI did send me two connector cords. One of them is very short - 4 or 5 inches. The other one is very long. I will refer to them as Short and Long. Short: on one end is a USB recepticle (female) and on the other end is a very small, male connector that looks like it...

    Federal Registration

    Wonderful. Does this mean I'm not registered? Or will I be registered but just paid way too much? EDIT NOTE: I re-visited the $24.99 site. In case anyone is interested: http://federaldroneregistration.com/ I think I will be registered. I just paid a scam middle man to do it for me. They...

    Firmware

    So .... I Googled Firmware. It's software that is imbedded in a piece of hardware.

    Precise Fly Safe Database and a Connector Cord

    Here's the thing - it isn't giving me the option to update anything. It says everything is "normal" and there is no "update" link to tap on that I can see. Is there some sneaky path in the app to get to the place on the app where you update the firmware on the battery or the quad transmitter...

    Phantom 4 Has Finally Arrived

    Yeah, but the thing is, the app won't LET me calibrate the compass. I can never get to a screen that has "Calibrate compass" to tap on.

    Precise Fly Safe Database and a Connector Cord

    I just checked the Go app. Under Aircraft Status, it says "Normal (Latest firmware)." If that's so, why do I keep getting prompted to update my firmware?

    Precise Fly Safe Database and a Connector Cord

    I keep being told I need to update my Precise Fly Safe Database and, to do so, I must connect my Remote Controller to the quad itself, "using the connector cord provided." Call me crazy, but the "connector cord provided" by DJI is not usable for this purpose. I am using an Apple iPadMini, and...

    Phantom 4 Has Finally Arrived

    I don't see any "IN Flight (GPS) symbol" in the top-left corner of my Go app screen. All I see up there is the DJI logo and a flight status field which shows whether I am connected to the quad, not ready to fly, ready to fly, etc. Further, I'm not sure I have to actually do a calibration...

    Firmware

    Even though I don't consider myself a newbie at this point, I am posting this in the Newbie Forum because it is really a newbie question. Here goes: Firmware. Exactly what IS the firmware on my P4? I have no idea what it is. Upgrade. All I hear about is upgrading my firmware. Setting...

    Federal Registration

    Yeah, I don't see where it can hurt to register. I have no problem with it. Will take care of it ASAP. OK - done. Had a bit of trouble locating the serial number, but finally found it. $24.99 to register. Anyway, now the suckers can't pull me out of my bed at 2:00 a.m. and cart me away to...

    Federal Registration

    I'm not flying my quad for profit and I don't intend to get it up any higher than 400 feet. It's just a hobby. Do I have to register with the Feds?

    Phantom 4 Has Finally Arrived

    It just dawned on me - I did that. I didn't fly the drone with the gimbal lock on, but I had it on the table with the power on. For some time. It didn't seem to affect anything when I flew it today. But I sure won't do that again.

    Phantom 4 Has Finally Arrived

    So I go over to my baseball diamond around ten this morning. Wind 1-2 mph if that. No one on the field. Looking good. Turned everything on, made sure the quad was facing away from me. I wasn't able to calibrate the compass because I couldn't find the right buttons to press on the app, so I...

    P4 Prop Guard Nightmare

    So I ordered up these P4 prop guards from online. They were advertised as being for the Phantom 4. They arrived in due course and I popped them right on with no problem. They just snapped right into place. I flew the P4 and everything went fine with them on. Then I tried to get them off...
