    Battery - distance - 4k video

    John, I don't think your P3 Standard is 4k capable. When you first start out the DJI Go App may restrict you to a beginners' mode with distance capped. Take a good look through your settings to remove that limit. You can maximise flight time by flying when there is little or no wind. If you...

    Dont Want to Fly Anymore

    This is what drives me mad too. Miles from home, precious battery ticking away and the DJI Go App bugs you with ads for new drones and messages about firmware updates and app updates.

    Any P3 4k Experts? - Tricky Problem

    Why are the bin files different like this one Packet: P3XW_FW_V99.99.9999.bin and these dates are all messed up. That's not the contents of the SD card. That's the firmware update log! The dates are when the updates were carried out the apart from where it says in the log "2014.01.01 00:00:11...

    Any P3 4k Experts? - Tricky Problem

    As I said in my first post I don't get a Phantom Wi-Fi Network and the remote controller light stays red. The device (Android phone) can only see my home router, if that's switched off then it doesn't see anything. The SSID of the P3 isn't visible as it is normally. Before the problem...

    Any P3 4k Experts? - Tricky Problem

    This guy on YouTube has the same DJI P3 4k drone and GL358wB remote controller and his devices refuse to pair in the same way as mine. I've tried messaging him to find out how this came about and if he's managed to solve it.

    Any P3 4k Experts? - Tricky Problem

    This afternoon (at 12:54 see log below) when trying to update firmware from P3XW_FW_V01.05.0040.bin to the newer P3XW_FW_V01.06.0050.bin there was a failure about 60% of the way through. DJI Go App suggested after that fail that I try again, but I can't. The aircraft powers up and so does the...

    Am I reading this wrong?

    Was about to do a firmware update on my P3 4k, it's been a while since I used it. I like to use it with Litchi for short missions and for panoramas with Litchi as well. Are they saying they are going to restrict my flights to 50m distance and 30m high if I lose my connection, my phone crashes...

    Resetting wifi password

    The instructions in that thread linked above seem fine for the P3 but I could not get them to work for the P3 4k. Wifi reset to default is covered halfway down page 27 of the P3 4k user manual here To reset the Wi-Fi password on the DJI Phantom 3 4k after starting the remote control and...

    Lost and Found Drone For Sale from Durham UK

    This was posted in a Facebook Buy and Sell Group, someone took the screenshot and forwarded it to me. I'm posting here just in case the owner visits these forums. I'd love to see it reunited with the person it belongs to. I'll see if I can find a link to the actual post.

    Lichti Waypoint video question

    I've had a quick look at the same track on Litchi, I would do it with spaced out waypoints and use the curve size (highlighted) to go smoothly round some of the corners.

    Lichti Waypoint video question

    Double-check individual waypoints, even when curved is set as a starting preference it sometimes isn't applied to each waypoint. Open them and see. Also it looks like you might not be leaving enough space between waypoints for anything but a sharp turn.

    At what wind speed do you ground your P3S?

    In most of the UK on Christmas Day (and the following day) we were experiencing the remnants of a couple of storms. For hours there were winds of 40mph (gusting to twice that). There was the occasional lull - maybe a couple of minutes. I do wonder how many people lost their Xmas drone, unable to...
