    Picture Break up on iOS but not on Android?

    Hi Guys. Recently the FPV on my iPad is breaking up/ constantly refreshing. It makes the FPV unusable. I've tried using 2 different iPad minis and 2 different cables and there both the same. On my Galaxy S7 Edge the DJI Go app just crashes the entire phone and it keeps rebooting itself. The...

    Flying in bright sunlight.... Arghhh!!!

    Hi Folks. Just recently went on holidays and brought my p3p with me for some nice aerial footage. Before I left I decided to invest in the sun visor attachment from Dji for my iPad mini. I'm finding though, that even flying in the Sun/ on the beach, the glare on the iPad screen is unbearable...

    Mavic Pro vs Mavic Standard

    Are we to assume given there's a Pro in the title of yesterdays launch that the likelihood is that we will also see a standard/advanced version??

    P3P serious burning smell from back right (Black) Motor

    Ok so went for a quick flight this evening and ran into some trouble. Hadn't flown my phantom for about a month or so. My battery was reading about 50% but my remote controller was low about 17%. This wasn't an issue i felt as was only planning a short distance 5 minute flight or so at low...

    Was it a drone? British airways flight

    I wonder what they blamed before the advent of the populist use of consumer drones..... "Brittania Flight 197 was hit by Charlie and The Chocolate Factories Elevator on approach to East Midlands Airport" Dear Lord... Please give me strength!

    P3P Crappy Range

    I will investigate more and report back. I've only recently become brave. Before now 400 ft was probably my Max so it's never been an issue until now. I'll try dropping the bit rate altough I don't see how that will affect controller range? And my radio channel is reading as 'good'. Are there...

    P3P Crappy Range

    Guys ID happily live with 1 mile but not even getting quarter of that. Yep tried flying at 350 to 400 ft altitude and still no joy. If I go east or west from take off I'm really only getting 1300 odd feet distance. Will test in better environments once I get the weather.... Ireland's weather is...

    P3P Crappy Range

    Flying in what could be described as semi urban. A few housing estates either side of flight path with a field underneath. Setting are reading radio channel as 'good'.

    P3P Crappy Range

    Hi All. Have my P3P now since Xmas but I've yet to be able to fly anymore than 1,300 feet without getting the weak controller signal in the Go App. Is there anything I need to check for or do to improve distance. Antenna position has had no impact.

    P3P vs Inspire1

    Sorry folks, the point of me starting this thread was to meerly point out the Hugh price difference between what is in my oppinion similar technology. Had the p3p been closer to 2k then I wouldn't have seen the need for this discussion but I'll quit while I'm ahead.... Dont want to give dji any...

    P3P vs Inspire1

    Have i missed something or are Inspire 1 owners not now going to be completely pissed off with the release of the latest P3. Those transforming legs are now costing circa 2k? OR are there other features with the Inspire 1 that the phantom does not have that ive missed! Note- I'm pitching the...

    max wind speed for p2v+ flying

    Sorry having a lazy day. I'm seeing somewhere 17.8mph which is close on 28kph which would increase by 1.5x at 400 odd feet. I'm at 25kph here today so a bit close for comfort I'd say.

    max wind speed for p2v+ flying

    Anyone know above what wind speeds we should be keeping our phantoms grounded. Preferably in KM/H. I've 25kph winds here today and my phontom dances around in the air a fair bit and can drift up and down by anything up to about 10ft. Just wondering if this is normal.
