    Raw Compass Numbers Out of Range?

    Just to be clear, the aircraft should not be powered on when calibrating the RC joy sticks. The aircraft compass is independent of the compass on the iPhone or other device. When the joysticks are miscalibrated, moving the stick in one direction tells the aircraft to move in a slightly...

    Raw Compass Numbers Out of Range?

    Assuming your P3P compass is calibrated within tolerance, I would check the remote controller being used. Calibrate the joysticks on that controller using the DJI Go app. Note that to do this the controller and iPhone or device must be powered on and connected with the DJI GO app running; but...

    FPV with HeadPlay HD-review

    I just read in your edit you found one, but in case you wanted to check out an alternative, go to RangeVideo.com. They sell the HeadPlay goggles and have both type cables; type A hdmi to mini hdmi and the hdmi mini to hdmi mini. Ultra-thin HDMI cable for Headplay

    RHO Lens falling out of Headplay Goggles

    Having had both the Rho-lens and the Rho-lens HPro, the HPro version is much easier to mount and does a much better job. Definitely worth getting. I have no issues with the HPro lens falling out of place, where with the older version I did. The view is also superior.

    Hey guys, please school me on firmware!

    Currently I'm on 1.8 with my Phantom 3 Pro (I did upgrade my batteries to 1.9.6 and then downgraded the aircraft to 1.8 after not liking how 1.9.6 handled). But I'm considering upgrading to 1.10.90. msinger have you upgraded to 1.10.90? In other words, do you consider this version 1.10.90 to...

    Downgrade firmware or not?

    To Paul: The aircraft firmware 1.9.6 also contains the battery firmware. It updates the battery as the aircraft is updated (unseen to the user). The DJI idea is that all other batteries would also be inserted in the aircraft and powered on while the firmware is available in the SD card so that...

    Which drone repair shops have you used?

    HeliDirect in Malden, MA. Nice guys, easy to chat with and knowledgable. I've used them twice to replace main boards on two Phantom 3 Pros. One time cost $275 the other $350. They claimed the difference was due to one being a W223 model and the other a W223B model. On the first one they also...

    Downgrade firmware or not?

    Been using 1.8.8 and iOS iPad GO app 2.8.1 with battery firmware previously upgraded to 1.9.6. (I had upgraded two aircraft to 1.9.6 and didn't like it, so I downgraded them both aircraft to 1.8.8). No issues with this configuration, good range, no appreciable difference in stability, no app...

    Just left the FSDO with my Temporary Certificate today!

    Got my Small UAS Commercial Certificate today as well from the local FAA FSDO. I was surprised I'll be getting a second certificate card just for the UAS that is completely apart from my regular (ATP) Pilot Certificate.

    Downgrade firmware or not?

    In the course of repairing my P3 Pro, the DJI authorized dealer/repair shop installed a new main board with 1.9.6 on it. However I was able to downgrade to 1.8.8 using the same procedure as if it were a normal upgrade.

    Downgrade firmware or not?

    I had installed 1.9.6 (updated the batteries too), but didn't like the reduced range and stability I felt I was noticing. I downgraded to 1.8.8, found I had no more stability issues and good range as before. This was with two P3 Pros, a W323 and W323B (both were downgraded to 1.8.8) and while...

    Cases for Headplay goggles

    Ideally I was thinking like some sort of thin soft foam case with a strap and ring to attach it to the backpack using a carabiner. That way I wouldn't have to hand carry it while going over rougher terrain. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    DJI Go 2.8.6 iOS version is out today

    Alokbhargava, just curious- I have a stock P3P (W323B), currently using firmware v1.8.8, RC (GL300C) v1.6.0 and GO app v2.8.1. Seems to work pretty well with my iPad and Headplay with a reliable range of 1-2 miles using windsurfers. However, I'm thinking of moving up to a later or current...
