You should be able to hotspot and connect to the controller Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I use a iPad Air (cellular version) to fly but you can use a hot spot to the iPad I think the larger screen gives better control of the App functions Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Two things I didn't see posted Be sure to leave a margin of error in the batt, I always land around 30% in case I have issues catching the bird Second if you do encounter a compass error don't panic, I always stick up to gain clearance height if lower than objects in the area plus it will...

It happens to me quite often over lakes Best never panic, first thing I do is go straight up on the stick so I'm clear of side objects as it will maintain height just not side to side

I've practiced at low altitude 1-2 ft with batt level forcing it to stay in flight upon low batt auto land to see how long before batt shutdown and usually at 6-7% it will shutoff battery and just drop Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I can hit 14000+ ft until battery says time to return back to home was getting 8500-10000 (nothing but trees around me) until I bought a cheap parabolic reflector on eBay for like 5.00 Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

The only real thing that local authorities can hang their hat on is "do you have your registration?" And you must show it per FAA printed or electronically I've seen a few people have their drones confiscated by local police and reported to FAA I'm sure you would get it back and a warning but I...

It is against federal law to say aftermarket add on will void warranty Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. They would have to prove the program caused the failure to void the warranty Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

From take off your height is zero so if you fly over cliff and go lower than the take off point it will show negative height, so in theory it should go to +100 ft from takeoff height, I would recommend adding some battery buffer into the warnings and such in case it doesn't compensate for the...

Flying inside can work in a large area such as a gymnasium, etc.. but you must be able to fly the bird well in atti mode and get some height quickly to prevent prop wash/ wind turbulence as it will take a moment to process data from the vision positioning system to help maintain height. The prop...

Carbon fiber blades are crap I had a massive crash just after take off due to the "better drone world props " $50.00 shearing of blades from hub after only a few flights All 3 props were there and one hub with nubs. I was pissed and all they said is send them in and they would replace props...

If it flew ok you will be fine The windings are large enough to handle the burp in current and the built in ESC's can handle the same. If it was a long time that the motors were bound I'd be more worried Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I would check into having a someone that has a good rep and experience fixing the camera, parts are expensive and it's not a easy task the cable itself is super easy to tear and YouTube videos just don't tell the whole deal. As far as the aircraft itself as long as the arms are still solid your...

Started out on the cheap flybar copters, moving to a MSR 120 fixed, then to a Dromida drone and Syma XC5 which is still awesome for the 35.00 price which I've gotten so high up I can barely see it, and it's super stable compared to many, moved to a p3s, then a p3p, built a f550 which I almost...

Truthfully the standard is a great bird and I normally got 5-8k feet and I had no issues until I killed it because I panicked and did a CSC even though it was only a couple meters up it came down on the camera just right and it was done, would be my only complaint that the standard must have...
