(from the Intelligent Battery "manual" from DJI) BATTERY CHARGING: (3) The battery will enter hibernation mode if depleted and stored for a long period. When in hibernation mode, if you try to power on the battery, the battery power LED will show a solid red light and the battery level LEDs will...

If you're flying with DJI GO you'll need some kind of software to record the video you see on your tablet/phone. If you're flying Litchi, there's a built-in option for selection screen record. Be forewarned - running video of everything that's available is going to place a huge demand on your...

Ha ha - yeah, you're probably right. Comments perhaps should have been about PERCEPTION vs REALITY.

I have a Phantom 3 Pro. Obviously can't speak for any other models, but the P3P does not have a microphone. Yes, you could record from your tablet/device, but all you're going to get is whatever commentary you and anyone around you might make. On the plus side, there are a surprising number of...

In theory, there's a lot of music out there that's legal to add to your videos. You have to learn how to search real hard! You don't really have to have a huge, expensive audio editing system. Virtually all my videos have been edited with the free GoPro Studio. It works perfectly with GoPro...

I stand corrected. You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, that means that even if you're running Litchi more-or-less exclusively, once in a while you need to fire up the DJI GO app and make certain your "key" settings are still okay. Some of the calibration routines are available on the DJI GO...

My apologies. I think part of the problem is that you spread your post/comments across several separate posts, but I'll accept some of your criticism about my observations of your experience. Be that as it may - what you're describing is (in my humble opinion) the overloading of your device -...

Did you really miss that big "warning" label? Additionally, if you run Litchi, cache video to your phone *and* video the screen (a neat function easily available in Litchi) your phone is going to be incredibly busy - apparently much too busy! Before you fly, it also might not be a bad idea to...

The only dealer I've dealt with for DJI parts is Drone Nerds in south Florida. They have a huge repair center (I think they're an authorized DJI repair point, but not sure). My last crash sent me their way - all the parts they sold me (about $50 worth) were genuine DJI products. Art - N4PJ...

"...I never want to annoy people or police..." ...he wrote - as he detailed a plan for doing exactly that! I recommend you take a pillow with you as well. I doubt that the jail cell you'll be in will have one provided for you.

If you're running the Litchi app, by default, you cannot access anything having something to do with the DJI GO app. So whatever the settings are the DJI GO app, if you're *not* running that app...... My thought is to find a pretty wide, open area, away from water, design a "route" and then fly...

First thought is that it's Photoshopped. However, it looks pretty authentic. Don't know what was done to the guts of the Phantom, but that does NOT appear to be a stock Phantom camera. The rest, though, if authentic, is pretty impressive. Art - N4PJ Leesburg, FL

Thanks. Was really curious because someone on another thread one day (don't think it was this thread) claimed that he dropped his Phantom in the drink and fried batteries, board, etc. His essential "claim" was that he dropped more than one of his R/C craft in the drink and did not destroy the...

What type of connectors were you using on the LiPo that survived immersion in water? I can't remember the exact type I use - the ones that seem to come "standard" with Horizon Hobby products. It never dawned on me that I could use a type that might be water resistant. I just wanted connectors...

I have three camera-carrying drones. Initially, I was paranoid about flying over water. One day my wife saw a video where I was flying above a canal. She commented "...you're getting braver, aren't you?" I told her that wasn't my Phantom! Much more of my flying lately *has* been over water...
