    DJI Phantom 3 Revealed!

    I can't believe the idiots flew out of a window from the Marina bay Sands Hotel and then clearly violated height restrictions in a country that is already paranoid about UAV's. They need to have some brains about the way they market and by clearly violating CASA requirements on a live feed is...

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    From what I understand to look after your batteries you must do the following Don't leave 100% charged for a long time (how long is too long?) Don't run them down to a low charge (how low is too low?) I understand the "smart" batteries can't be overcharged so does it matter if they are left in...

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    I have not flown for 3 weeks as I was hoping DJI would release an update for their faulty batteries but appears that was wishful thinking. It makes a joke of all the other updates they are releasing like the upcoming new remote when they clearly have an issue with batteries. I now have 3...

    Nuke RC Batteries - Review

    Understood that the batteries are the same shape and have same connectors and will fit in all the birds. My concern is that with the latest generation P2v+ there may be some hidden firmware update that will reject the clone batteries. That and the RC Nukes site only says the batteries are...

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    I flew today and battery icon for P2V+ went to red at 46%. This was a controlled test flight as I am trying to understand what is happening (and too scared to do any long distance flights because of this issue). I have the iphone DJI app and about 10 seconds after battery icon going red the...

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    I first bought the P2V and had some issues with it re distance before signals dropped out. I upgraded to the P2V+ in May this year. I kept one battery from the P2V and have 2 new batteries that I purchased directly from DJI. 3 of the 3 batteries have what I would consider bloating on the...

    P2V+ First impressions compared to P2V

    Just got my P2V+ and after reading about so many flyaways it was with great trepidation that I fired it up yesterday for its maiden flight. I was expecting it to take off like a fruitbat on speed and head for the nearest mango farm but after conducting all preflight checks and calibrating...

    Visiongimbal upcoming 3 axis gimbal???

    Oh well just guess it is one more reason that the plus looks like a viable option. I have been waiting to see what 3 axis gimbals come out in the hope I could upgrade the P2V but not looking real promising at least in the near term
