    Waiting update to Icarus SW to work with FW 1.8.10

    Works perfect. Just make sure you factory reset before re-applying power upgrade.

    Icarus for latest firmware

    Updated P3S to 1.9.2. Reapplied Icarus and AC would not talk. Then did Factory Reset on Icarus, rebooted. Finally applied 27dbm to boyh RC and AC, all working perfectly. So lesson is,, after firmware update I need to factory reset Icarus then reapply settings.

    Yellow LED stays on remote P3 Standard

    No, I bought another controller (used) for $35aud and use it. I still use the old controller occasionally as it has Argtek installed. It lasts about 3 to 4 days before it goes flat.

    Waiting update to Icarus SW to work with FW 1.8.10

    I run 27dbm for both Tx and A/C It is adjustable. I got just over 1500M with full video on the stock antenna before I chickened out and did an RTH.

    Modifies the 2.4ghz WiFi on both transmitter and aircraft. Has no effect on 5.8ghz.

    Icarus for latest firmware

    You have to adjust the dBm power output for both transmitter and aircraft. It is a slide style selection. But, it does have a simple Factory Reset switch for when you get home. Have a look at the screen shots on the Google Play store.

    Litchi App

    Litchi is working well with my P3S. All features work, but tracking is a bit hit and miss.

    Best controller mods

    I use the Icarus App from the Google Play store and achieved 1.5km distance using the standard (unmodified) antenna.

    Software vs Firmware and Range

    I agree wifi interference causes range issues. I have had times when using DJI Go my range was lower than normal, so I change apps to Litchi and the range increased. But I have also had times when Litchi was running and range was low, so changed to DJI Go. My only theory to the above is...

    P3S Price increase

    DJI controls the pricing, not the retailer. If a retailer offers a discount less than DJI has set, they lose their distribution. I purchased mine 12 months ago for $629aud from Banggood.com when everyone else was $849aud. Within a month Banggood.com lost their distribution and can no longer sell.

    lens hood....good or bad idea ?

    I use CPL and ND filters. I find it best to calibrate the gimbal every time I change or remove filters. Reason for this is I find the gimbal does a weird shake if I don't.

    Icarus for Phantom 3S

    Works great. In Australia the P3 operates on CE standard (14dB). I was only getting 300 to 400 meters with my stock antenna. After Icarus mod I made it to 920 meters before I chickened out and did an RTH. Video feed was strong the whole time. Tried the Magic Power mod, but the program would not...

    Yellow LED stays on remote P3 Standard

    Yes, disconnected everything. And yes, the yellow led is a combination of the green and red being on at the same time. DJI were unable to help. Sent from my SM-T530 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Yellow LED stays on remote P3 Standard

    Follow up. The battery seems to last about a week and a half from being fully charged if I dont fly. Still no issues when flying, all appears to work ok. I was looking on ebay a week ago and there was a used controller up for auction. Poor guy crashed his P3S into the Pacific Ocean. I won the...
