Alright. Not sure what happened but I took the SD card out and tried to start it up and it worked for some reason. Flew it around for a while with no issues. I think it was a software issue but thanks for your help! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Alright. Today I charged up my battery on my drone and remote, started remote, connected phone, and started up drone. Drone turns on fine, and the gimbal spins as usual. I get the "no image transmission signal" on my phone and have no picture on the screen, so I pick up the drone to examine the...

I didn't know it was an option either. I really think it should always be enabled as you are able to override it when it warns you; the only reason I can see to override it would be a one way flight. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

No problem. I've also learned that it's pretty generous with the amount of battery it leaves to get back, so you can usually keep on going, especially if you are going into the wind. Happy flying! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Basically, the drone is accounting for the amount of battery it takes to get back to your home point. If you take it off and fly it out 15000 ft and you are at 65% battery, naturally the drone will assume that it will return at 30% which is the preset low battery level. Also, it has to account...

Not a thread. It's on the FAA rules for UAVs that they email to you after registration if I remember correctly. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Nope. Just send it with whatever charge is left. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Was it landed on a flat surface? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Just to clarify, the batteries are universal. In fact, on the website, the battery is sold as the "Phantom 3 Intelligent Flight Battery" without any specific model number. Happy flying! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Not sure if there's a way to do it without amplifiers. It also may replace the stock antenna so you would have to open up the remote. Next time you have some spare time, I would recommend finding the most detailed YouTube tutorial on how to install the mod. Make sure to take your time with it as...

If I had a suggestion, I would look at FPVLR and DBSMods. If you do decide to go that route, make sure to be very careful and take your time during installation. I almost screwed up my connectors! Hope you have fun with your phantom! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

One more thing. When you're flying, try pointing the antennas right at the drone if you don't do so already, and try not to let anything come between your remote and your bird. Let us know how it goes!! (I had a bad experience with ATTI. I took my eyes off of my drone for a second as it was...

That may be true as well. Either way, I don't think it's a good idea to fly in ATTI mode for long distances as there is no real advantage to it and your drone may drift without your knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Yes. For the max distance, make sure you have the drone connected. Go to flight settings, scroll to the bottom, and flip the switch that says max distance. Was this the issue you were having or did you also have an issue with disconnecting? Also, I've tested it with my drone. The RTH will not...

Also forgot to add. Do not use atti mode for long distance. If you happen to lose signal, the aircraft will start to land instead of triggering RTH. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
