    It does not matter...on the ground or in the air, same problem.

    First Flight - GPS Mode then P-Opti Mode on Record

    I actually was able to speak to DJI Support yesterday to find out why our Phantom 3 Pro switches from P-GPS to P-OPTI when we press the Record Video button. They have had any reports of this problem and suggested we contact the vendor (UAV-Outlet) for a replacement, otherwise we would have to...

    First Flight - GPS Mode then P-Opti Mode on Record

    I see there's a setting in the DJI Pilot App under MC Settings / Advanced Settings with the following on/off switch: Enable Vision Positioning System I'm at work today and don't have my P3P with me to verify if that remedies the issue.

    First Flight - GPS Mode then P-Opti Mode on Record

    As soon as the craft initializes and obtains GPS lock, the green bar says it's in P-GPS mode - Safe to Fly. Even when it's sitting on the ground, if I hit the record button, it goes into P-Opti mode, stop the recording and it goes back into P-GPS mode.

    First Flight - GPS Mode then P-Opti Mode on Record

    I flew my new Phantom 3 Pro today for the first time. I'm confused about the flight mode when I press the Video Record button. The P3P boots up, saves home point and I get a green Ready to Fly GPS Mode indicator at the top of the Pilot App, but as soon as I press the Video Record button it...

    Dji pilot app on iPad mini

    Does anyone know if an iPad WiFi only receives GPS location fron the Phantom 3 so it's location is shown on the map? iPads with WiFi only don't have a GPS receiver.

    DSLRPros Sundance Cinema Kit - FPV Signal Loss

    I have been flying a DSLRPros Sundance Cinema Kit with FPV monitor for about 6 months now. The videos I'm capturing is incredible with the GoPro Hero 3+ Black. The range I get with FPV exceeds the naked eye tracking of the craft. However, a few weeks ago, on a flight several hundred feet...

    counterbalancing gopro with filter?

    I just got my PolarPro ND and at certain gimbal attitudes, it touches the canbus that's attached to the landing gear leg. I don't have any other choice on mounting the canbus as the cabling from the canbus from inside the Phantom body would have to be rerouted to a different leg. I'm using the...

    Sundance Kit for Phantom 2 from DSLRPros?

    My son and I purchased this kit a few months ago and it crashed after only 4 flights. After careful inspection and review of the video, it was obvious the screws came out of one of the motors that caused the crash. We returned the kit to DSLRPros and after several weeks, they replaced our...

    Weight of GoPro protective lens?

    This little lens protector and filter kit seems like a much better solution for adding neutral density filter to eliminate JELLO. Does the video image suffer any degraded quality by using these plastic neutral density inserts vs. glass?

    Phantom 2 Assistant - IOS Version

    I have a new Phantom 2 H3-3D with OSD and FPV. When I connect my Phantom to the iMac it goes directly to the Update screen and I can't cancel it. It's like if I don't update I can't use any other TAB in the software. Funny thing, when I use my Windows laptop, that doesn't happen.

    Phantom 2 Crash - Motor Screws

    So here it is 3 weeks later and I still don't have my Phantom 2 back. DSLRPros has provided very little info on when I will get it back and the latest is they say they are having trouble getting in touch with DJI in Los Angeles to get the warranty approved. Here's the problem I have with that...

    Phantom 2 Crash - Motor Screws

    Latest update on my Phantom 2 crash due to motor screws. At the request of DSLRPros, I uploaded the entire video, from start to stop and they got on the phone with the DJI China Headquarters and have in-fact determined that one motor came out of its mount. The deciding factor was the sound...

    Phantom 2 Crash - Motor Screws

    I took my Phantom 2 back to DSLRPros yesterday and their initial inspection was in fact, the motor screws didn't have Loc-Tite and the damage would be covered under warranty. I'm glad I had the GoPro video rolling during this flight as it clearly reveals the noise of the propeller hitting the...
