    New Phantom 4 Pro

    From what I've read, the capacity is greater for the battery newly introduced for the P4P, but the form factor is the same. So DJI forum support have stated that you can use the old P4 batteries in the P4P (though flight time will be shorter than with the new higher capacity batteries). It's not...

    Screw inspection = very bad day

    I for one am glad they don't use 'standard' fasteners, by which I assume you mean slotted or phillips-head screws. Hex, Torx and also Robertson (square recess) fasteners are much more reliably installed and removed than phillips-head (slotted fasteners are very seldom used as they have no...

    Zenmuse H3-3D is it worth it?????

    Thanks very much for posting this video link, the comparisons are quite telling. Just got P2 + H3-3D, but haven't assembled/updated the setup yet. I was happy with P1 + H3-2D, but am looking forward to even better performance and longer flight times. Steve

    FOUND a flyaway DJI Phantom in CT

    Out of curiosity, what part of CT? I have seen a few flying around, especially in the evening when they're easier to spot. This situation makes clear why we should provide contact info of some kind on our Phantoms, "just in case." If you don't get a response, I guess by looking at any...

    Let's see your fvp set up on the phantom 2

    Thanks very much for this detailed post regarding your installation. Still trying to decide between IOSD mkII vs. mini. Also considering using 32-channel 600 mW VTx VRx paired devices. But the basic approach will match your great example. Steve

    Why is the Phantom 2 better than 1?

    The question is how much capacity remains at the end of the flight? Many aftermarket chargers will provide this info as you recharge. Landing with 20% capacity left is typically recommended, both to preserve overall battery life (number of discharge/recharge cycles) and to allow an energy...

    Phantom 2 Discussion Forum

    Between less formal quality control and a representing a technology that on a basic technical level is still evolving quite rapidly, it would be foolhardy not to look for updates on a frequent basis--including prior to first flight. The flight controller and major accessories (Zen H3-2D) are...

    Phantom not locking in satellites? Try this...

    Well had to read the whole thread to fully understand the situation here. As you noted in your initial post, this may or may not work for others. Since this method was suggested, apparently, by you dealer, it might be interesting to ask what the known or presumed mechanism is by which this...
