    Received my new (used) controller. Went ahead and linked it to my P3A last night. All seems well so far. Hopefully will get a chance to try it out within the next couple of weeks. Thanks

    Opinions on sunhood

    This is what I use on my tablet along with the hoodman....works really well and very reasonable price. Doesn't make the screen too dark at all. Amazon.com: Mr Shield For Acer Iconia One 8 (B1-810) Anti-Glare [Matte] Screen Protector [3-PACK] with Lifetime Replacement Warranty: Cell Phones &...

    Anybody use a hoodman?

    I use the Hoodman. If you use both pieces...the piece you linked and the top extension it blocks out ALL light and works perfect. However, I have found a good anti glare screen and just the piece you linked work good enough for 85% of my flying. For the other 15% I add the top piece. Someone...

    P3A Controller Dead....Replacement Question??

    My posts above were probably confusing...it was powered off and sitting in a closet. Not being trickled. I'm away until the middle of the week...(without my drone unfortunately)...but will try the above suggestions when I get home. Thanks everyone....

    P3A Controller Dead....Replacement Question??

    Last time I used it...I just threw it in the closet thinking I'd use it again in a week or so. Got real busy, and here I am 2 months later with a dead controller.

    P3A Controller Dead....Replacement Question??

    Thanks for the replies. I hadnt used the quad all winter...(Florida here...so probably 2 months). I took it out to use it a couple of weeks ago and tried to charge everything and the controller will not do anything.

    P3A Controller Dead....Replacement Question??

    That was my original thought. Problem is I have searched all over the internet and havent found any batteries that others have used and seem to work. The one in there now has 4 wires...2 pos and 2 neg. Seems hard to find a replacement.

    P3A Controller Dead....Replacement Question??

    My P3A controller has a bad battery. It will not charge or turn on at all. Ive tried multiple chargers and cords...its dead. I found someone on Ebay selling a battery out of a controller that he dropped and broke. $50 shipped...I figured I was good to go. Of course, USPS had other ideas and...

    Phantom 4 Advanced???

    From DJI's website......'adoption of titanium alloy and magnesium alloy construction increases the rigidity of the airframe and reduces weight, making the Phantom 4 Advanced even lighter than the Phantom 4.' So it looks like a different shell than the P4 but same as the P4P. So yea...I...

    Phantom 4 Advanced???

    So 1349 for the Advanced and 1649 for the advanced + which includes the 5.5" screen. 4.3mile range, 30 minute flight time (looks like due to lighter, stronger shell...lighter than P4), 5 vision sensors, 4k/60, etc. Looks like another great drone: Phantom 4 Advanced | DJI Store

    Introducing Crystalsky, the new DJI tablet and best friend for your Phantom

    Who said it will be a 'glitch-o matic nightmare'? Why would I worry about editing or using it for media? Its being marketed and sold as a 'monitor' to fly with that happens to be the first usable outdoor daylight monitor for a dji quad. Its NOT being marketed, nor did DJI EVER say that it is...
