Flying today for a new client & would you believe our I1 pro decided to pull the ‘IMU Initializing’ issue & not launch.
After ten minutes of trying with no avail to get the **** thing off the ground (launch it from a metal drain cover is the work around by the way) - I pulled out our shiny Phantom 4 Obsidian.
I have to say that I love the Phantom as a platform, I’m not a technically advanced flyer as far as guys here that have decades of experience, but in the four years that I’ve been flying I find that I can pull off fantastic looking shots and the extra bells and whistles that the 4 brings over the 3 allowed me to get exactly what I needed today.
I am seriously considering getting rid of the I1 pro, and getting a backup P4 pro.. what do you guys think? The only downside is that I do a fair bit of broadcast work & there is still a ‘consumer’ preconception about the Phantom (even the mean looking Obsidian!).
But anway, huge thanks to the lovely people here that allowed me to get my shots!
