Thanks; installed it last night & no real issues. Not sure if those plastic pins & keepers holding the camera to the drone are supposed to be reusable. I cut the old ones off.

I'm in the same situation as Jonathan - crashed, trashed camera, have a replacement one on the way. Jonathan, were you able to successfully replace your camera? Do you, or anyone else, have any DIY tips for this procedure - or any suggested links to How To document or videos? Required...

Device holder question: I just received this DJI device holder, Part 45 (linked & pasted at bottom), but I think I may need a bigger one to use with the iPad Air 2? Some reviews are saying that it JUST fits with the iPad Air 2, but do you suggest I try to find a bigger one? If so, any...

Agreed, BigA107!! Very excellent information, and an extremely helpful community. Huge gratitude on my end for everyones time & advice!! Screenshots below of the total kit that I purchased. I went with the iPad Air 2, 16gb w/ cellular (thanks Knight Flier), & upgraded the mount & got a...

Ahh, now I understand; thanks! I'm going to end this thread (at least my posts to it) & post a list of all of the gear I bought on the thread that I redirected to at Pro/Adv Discussion | DJI Phantom Forum Thanks for everyone's help!!!!!!!

Getting down to the minutiae, thanks to you all. I have ordered a filter kit (thanks, msinger) - how important do you all think that a shade hood is for the iPad Air 2? I see one for about $40 + expedited shipping...

Thanks Alan! Hmmmmm; good points. That could persuade me. I wonder what is more commonly used, mini vs "regular" sized? We are largely using this to survey remote land holdings; mostly virgin, some cultivated, in Latin America. Do people typically download the video post flight? To a...

msinger - what is a good device to record the video to? Simple external hard drive ? Knight Flier - very good point! Probably worth the extra hundred dollars to have The cellular option - you agree? We will be using this in remote locations frequently. Thanks!!!!!!

Just saw your reply msinger -that's helpful too; thanks!!

That's helpful, thanks a lot AcBrian. At this point I'm leaning twds the iPad Mini 2, 16gb, no cellular capability. Any & all thoughts on this much appreciated! As well as re. my ?'s on accessories. Cheers!

Great, thanks a lot!! I'm going to pull the trigger tonight - either an iPad Air 2, or Ipad Mini 2. Next questions, please: Sounds like it's personal preference re. the size (min vs. not mini) (?) 16gb storage is plenty? Accessories - probably should get at least s hood? None others needed...

Thanks again; I just reposted on that other Forum. I see the iPad 2 comes as "air", or "mini". Do you think the mini is too small? I assume memory is not an issue & the 16 gb would be fine. I'm still wondering how these things communicate from 2km? THANKS!!!

Hi everyone, I posted on the general forum & was advised that this is a better forum for my question. I'm a total newbie to drones & to DJI, but have a Phantom 3 Pro and Black Pearl RC801 (2015, 32 channel) on the way and am excited to learn how to use it. I just learned form a user that the...

I'm trying to think this through - I read the range of the Phantom 3 is 2,000 meters. How can the tablet communicate with it at that distance, simply w/ wifi? I must be missing something...

Hi Team Yankee, thanks a lot for the quick reply. That's very helpful. Shoot - I guess my crash course on this topic failed to figure that bit out. The only thing I bought apart from accessories for the Phantom 3 itself is the BP RC801 & a battery for it. The BP is totally useless & I...
