Confirmed as true on my end. So my previous rotation for flying "all day" won't work unless you add a 5th battery to the mix to make up for cool down time.
I wonder if you could speed up this process slightly by putting a "hot" battery into a small cooler with one of those frozen ice packs...
Absolutely stunning. Some day our drones will be amphibious and we can dive right in and get underwater footage of that beautiful creature. I hope they are still around when that day comes.
Of course, you'd need to have a power source handy to make it work. Even so, having 4 batteries to give you 1 hour 20 minutes flight time in an outing is pretty nice.

* Fly on Battery1 for 20 minutes
* Charge Battery1 for 60 minutes while Battery2 flies then charges, Battery3...

I tried to use the one on the app. I'm so used to using it I'm not familiar with the button and how it works. Now I know, lesson learned.
I'm using an Apple brand Lightning cable.
I want to preface that I'm a very new drone pilot. I just got my Phantom3 Pro last week and have had 4 serious flights.
My first flight was in IL and it was flawless - flew great (besides my lack of knowing the controls) and returned to home just wonderfully.
I brought it with me to CO and...
