    Flight telemetry question

    That is what I thought, but there is also a horizontal distance that measures the same thing. What was weird is the number was decreasing as it was flying away from me. It also registered a high number when it landed next to me.

    Flight telemetry question

    Can anyone tell me what the telemetry information in the lower corner of the pilot app of the little man is telling me. Have searched and could not find any info anywhere. Thank you

    A new firmware update is now available for Phantom 3

    Please note that after upgrading firmware, you will have to reset your specific preferences as it changed mine back to default. This includes braking, camera gimbal speed, height for return, turned back on Vision Positioning System.

    What do you do with your videos/photos

    If you take video, definitely want to edit. Probably will edit out 65% of the video to make it more entertaining. Travel and action videos are popular. I posted my videos on my website: http://surfinganddeepthoughts.com/ The first video of surfing was made a year ago with the Phantom Vision...

    Multicopter Engineering Project Survey

    Is the issue landing on the water or just flying over it? I fly my Phantom 60% over the water to film surfers and from my experience it is the safest way to fly without crashing. There are no trees, telephone poles, unseen wires, buildings, and no obstructions to block your line of sight sight...

    Vision + wifi extender

    Tried out the wifi booster app made for the Vision plus (I have original vision with Vision plus wifi extender). The app stated that my wifi had been "successfully boosted." I took it to same location that I used for test runs on the wifi extender to eliminate any environmental differences...

    Vision + wifi extender

    I downloaded the app on my android through Google Play. It is called FPV Booster. I ran the program indoors and it worked in that it stated your booster "is now connected to Phantom Plus." Will take it out and fly tomorrow and post results. The app said it was for the Vision Plus and...

    Vision + wifi extender

    One question. The VIsion + forum has a topic about a software app the boosts the WiFi Range and it has had great success (according to the posts). It is available in the Itunes store for $8.99. It only works on the Vision+. Since some of us have the Vision+ wifi extender, has anyone tried...

    Vision + wifi extender

    I also purchased the Vision Plus Wifi extender and got much further range (1100 feet as compared to 650 feet). Don't know why I never got more...must be the interference in Southern California. The binding process was a snap and yes you do get the battery percentage use of the extender in the...

    PLEASE HELP - Battery Removal

    I was also having a bit of a problem. I looked inside and wire that runs from the phantom to the camera (non-plus) was being pinched. Since I opened it up and got the loose wires out of the way, it was a lot better...but still required some effort though.

    personal vision videos

    Here is a surfing video I made despite my video range limited to 400 feet. Pretty strange when over ocean. Don't know why--all firmware is the latest. Had to crop some of the distant surfing since I wasn't closer. Maybe need to lower preview quality as suggest...
