Can I fly the Phantom4 indoors?
Yes. The Phantom 4 has a VPS Module that allows the drone to fly indoors using sonar sensors and under side cameras. The VPS Module allows you to fly up to 30 feet.
My Phantom 4 is not stable while hovering. What should I do?
You could try calibrating the IMU sensor of the drone. To do that, place the DJI Phantom 4 on a level surface, while keeping away from metal and electronic interference. Open the DJI Go app and go to MC settings. Go to advanced settings, sensors and tap “IMU calibration”. Perform the IMU calibration when the DJI Phantom 4 is cold, preferably in a cool environment as this will reduce the warm up time before flying.
What’s the safest way to fly over water?
Try putting sticky tape over the VPS sensors. This is done because when flying above water, there may not be enough of a contrast in pattern for the aircraft to recognize and hold position. That’s why some users have reporting issues when flying over water. I’d also add to always fly atleast 1 meter over the water level.
Is it possible to retake control of the DJI Phantom 4 when it is in Return To Home mode?
Yes. You just need to press the Return To Home button on your remote controller. Doing this will give you control of the DJI Phantom 4 again.
