    Drug smuggling P4

    "...Figures showed there were 33 incidents involving devices in 2015, compared to two in 2014 and none in 2013." :) Wonder where the perpetrators of the 33 incidents last year got the idea from - surely not from melodramatic BBC news reports?

    Question re: Litchi app crash behavior

    I go one step further. If I want to switch app from go<-->litchi, I force close all apps and reboot the (android) phone. Only way to guarantee that one app isn't competing with the other. Had no issues since I started doing it

    Connecting to the internet via 4G whilst flying

    Hi all... Try as I might, I can't get my OnePlusTwo phone to connect to the Phantom if the 4g internet connection is enabled. Only way I can get it to connect is if I disable the 4g connection. How do you connect your phone to the internet and the phantom at the same time? It's a pain not...

    New Tracking on Litchi

    Very careful to make sure that DJI go wasn't running, and any processes were killed. Not sure if the litchi app caused my issue or not - I've flown in that location with dji go several times before with no problem. The drone not responding to the controller at all was the scary bit, and when...

    New Tracking on Litchi

    Tried this morning. Just a small test. Tracking a stationary object (flying around it) P3s got about 20 metres away from object, drone just over edge off cliff, drone stopped responding, then 'lost connection' on screen. Drone in hover, about 7 metres up, but over cliff. No response. At this...

    Litchi altitude

    well that was "fun" plotted a little mission in Litchi. Flew it no problems. The decided to have a look at the 'tracking' option. Working just fine, tracking a small statue... flying away from it, phantom at about 30ft. Phantom goes over edge off cliff, and I'm no more than about 50ft away...

    Litchi altitude

    So, if you fly start on a cliff with a height of say 10m, the Phantom will maintain the same height if you go over the cliff? It won't descend to 10m above the beach?

    Was it a drone? British airways flight

    Well well well. Bet that doesn't make headline news

    Was it a drone? British airways flight

    agree with this so much. Drones in the public perception are what rains hell on the middle east in trouble hotspots. I fly a quadcopter safely and legally and take pictures of scenery, yet I'm lumped in with this 'drone' term with all it's negative connotations. This story will not help the hobby

    Hi from North East England, UK!

    Wow. No, just a short hop across a bay to the lighthouse in Seaham. Holy Island would be insane!

    Hi from North East England, UK!

    Hi all... finally took the plunge, and went for the omnipresent Phantom 3 Standard. Spent a good few days familiarising myself, updating firmware etc. Took it for it's first flight yesterday. Absolutely blown away. Superb. There's a shot I want to get, but it means flying over a *substantial*...
