Fly Responsibly:
Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.
See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Q: Does this package include a controller?
A: Yes, this product comes with one remote controller which is capable of 1080p live video over a distance of up to 4.3 miles.
Q: What is the difference between the Phantom 4 Pro, and the Phantom 4 Pro Version 2 model?
A: Different propellers that reduce sound, different motors that also reduce sound, and the main difference is the wireless technology that connects the controller and the drone. The Phantom 4 Pro has Lightbridge and the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Has Ocusync. In my experience Ocusync is a big improvement in reliability over Lightbridge, but not worth the upgrade if you already own the Phantom 4 Pro.
A: Verify that you have good compass and GPS readings on your drone. I found on mine that when I had good sensor data that the drone seemed to drift nearly zero even in gusty winds of 12 mph. If yours is not doing this well, I’d get it in for repair before making more flights. I just had mine go out of control and careen into Lake Michigan after over a dozen perfect flights. I recommend giving little trust to any drone, and not flying where there are people around. It’s very scary when something with 4 high speed blades goes zooming out of control, the last thing you need in that moment is bystanders to injure. As far as I’m concerned, anything less than all systems perfect will ground my drone until it can be verified by the pros, out of control flight is as scary as it gets.
Q: How long can the pro v2.0 fly?
A: About 26 mins. Depending on wind condition
A: No, the remote with screen is not yet available for the P4P v2.0 on BestBuy.com
Q: It says they are sold out. How long till they’re back in stock?
A: probably until after the NWO takeover and everybody is rounded up into FEMA tents in the Walmart parking lot
A: Yes- kind of. Your app will store flight data which can be downloaded to analyze flight paths and other sensor information. I accessed my flight data and was able to use a third-party app to illustrate my flight path in hopes that I could then visit the last indicated sighting and search for it. Unfortunately, flight data indicated my last known location as being 300 plus feet in the air- meaning it coulld have continued on the last know heading for miles after losing comms- until battery depleted and drone executed a landing. This explains why I was unable to find it after searching the area indicated at the end of the flight path. The flight data can also help you get a free replacement (unless DJI has changed its policy). If the data reveals that you lost GPS signal (a common cause for lost drones) and the drone failed to RTH (return to home) as it is supposed to do when connectivity is lost, DJI will send you a new drone. They will ask you to download and send all flight data to them in order to analyze and confirm the cause. I did not send "all" of my flight data- only those from the flights i executed the day I lost it. I dont think anyone should send any flight data to DJI unless absolutely necessary. DJI determined that the drone did fail to RTH when GPS signal was lost and sent me a free replacement drone. After that experience, I always recommend that remote pilots spend a little extra on small cellular-based GPS trackers that operate independently from the drone. There are all kinds- the TK102 is pretty cheap. Good luck!
