Bigjimknickers Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Really? thats interesting, what would your reasons be for going for the P4 Pro? my main reason for looking at the pro is the sport mode interests me. I've just seen I've got enough funds to get the P3 standard, but not quite P4 yet. plus I'd need to sell my P2 first too really. but aside from wanting to upgrade you like the P3S?

I didn't think I would like it as much as I do, it just amazes me so I'm being greedy and I want all the bells and whistles and apparently the the pro 4 camera is very very good with a 1inch sensor, I'm selling a couple of cars to fund this, so if they don't go then I'm sticking with the 3 for now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Do you charge the controller switched off or on? Mines on at the moment & on charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive done both, but if you charge with it turned off when fully charged the light goes out, also the quad battery has clever charging built in and if you leave lt long enough over a few days it does a automatic discharge to storage level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been messing about with it every day since I got it, not flown it yet due to weather/ dark, plus the IMU needed calibration which I've only just done today so not too exciting really.

I'll be honest... no too complicated compared to the P2 with no camera/live feed/wi fi! The P2 feels more...pure? maybe I'm too stupid for more complicated gadgets, I mean I don't even know how to transfer videos from the P3S!

Bigjimknickers Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm sure I'll love it when I can actually get it out! But yea, it's took me a long time to set it up & I wasn't really sure what I was doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine I just started the app, and did the 2 spins in the garden and away you go!, to get the video off you take the card out and rip the files, I think you can edit via the app aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Ahh, mine was flashing all sorts of red warnings of calibration, it was ok, I just left but on a level surface & done the sensor calibration. not had a chance to use mine yet as it's been peeing down here.

Daveyb84 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 What sort of realistic flight times do you get from this? Are spare batteries expensive? How good are they for a novice who's never flown anything before? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk if you use the app and beginner mode then you shouldnt have an issue, batterys are a £100 ago and you get 15-25mins flight time depending on how you use it.
