    iPhone 6 Plus battery usages

    My iPhone 6 will easily run for 2 hours, so I just keep a battery booster handy to charge my iphone afterwards. Also keep an iPad mini in my pack that I can use and just create a hotspot on my phone to get gps on the iPad mini.

    Motor almost burnt out?

    I had a similar experience, but my crash was caused by flying with litchi and not closing autopilot, so when I tried to stop using litchi the autopilot app was sending conflicting commands. Anyway I let things cool down but I sometimes here a odd click sound coming from one of the motors...

    Esc status error??

    Is their any diagnostics that can tell if one motor is not performing and should be replaced.? When I land I hear an odd noise coming from one of the motors and I can not tell from which one. I would rather replace a single motor now than risk having a motor fail mid flight. I spin the props...

    Weak Signal!!

    I Also have a weak signal message with my Phantom Pro a mere two feet away from the controller. Checked for updates, reset IMU etc, all the usual stuff. I have sent it in twice now for warranty repair, once for esc error and then for camera pointing 45 degrees off. Now this. I got about 3...

    Should Warranty covers shipping costs

    About 6 weeks ago I sent my phantom 3 pro to Carson CA to fix the "esc status error" and I really liked the way Dji handled the whole process for me. Printed out the shipping label they sent me, called fedex who picked it up next day, notified about 3 weeks later that problem was fixed and...

    Camera misaligned

    Just received my phantom back from a warranty issue, I had a "esc status error". Everything else was working fine. Just started it up and the camera is pointing about 45' to the right or left, changes each time I power cycle. Is this something I can fix myself or is this something DJI has to...

    I [don't] have approval to fly above 500m, but is it possible?

    If you were wanting to fly over a 500m plus hill and you had the nerve, you could fly to 480 meters, find a place to land, land and reset your home point, take off again you would be cleared for another 500m. The problem would be the 200 m below your home point limit so you would have to set...

    ESC Status error

    Wonder how many phantoms are failing with the ESC error. I suspect it is more than a few as when I called ski when it happened to me they did not even suggest any troubleshooting solutions, just said I have to send it in for repair. Just 30 flights and now on its way to Calif service centre...

    All weather craft.?

    It seems that the P 4 shell does not have the venting on the top of the shell like the P3. Will this help when flying in light rain and protect the components inside the craft? Would be a great not to have to worry about a bit of rain causing problems, but I guess the motors would still be a...

    ESC Status error

    I have about 30 flights on my Phantom 3, no problems and was beginning to think that this was a very reliable craft. Last night I set up for a flight and had the ESC status error :( Shipping it off to the repair center for warranty work. Is there anything else to try before I send it off?

    What feature will make you upgrade to P4 ?

    I don't think the litchi leash will work on the iOS becaus there up is no follow me capability Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    GIVEAWAY: Microraptor Pro Backpack (for P3P/P3A)

    What a great looking bag and I love the idea that you can keep the props mounted. When the weather warms up and I get my mountain bike out this spring I would love to have a phantom carrier that I can just strap on and go

    Battery temperature

    I had a warning about a cold battery too but my motors would not start up unless I warmed up the battery first.

    testing 9450 carbon fiber props (Composite Hub, Black with Yellow Stripes)

    I was wondering if the stock props also act like shear pins, it is better that they break when they hit an object I think carbon props would take a lot more to break them. I broke a prop flying indoors once when I flew too close to a wall but because the tip snapped off there was no damage to...
