    HOW TO: Install tablet mount on a Phantom 3 Standard remote controller

    Based on your picture, it looks to me as if the hole marked "threaded" goes to the boss where the lanyard would hook to the controller using a screw to secure it. The unmarked hole (at bottom of photo) would sit on the pin marked "unthreaded". Not sure, but that's what I'm thinking. Sent from...

    flying into steam/smoke coming out of a smokestack

    Corey, I retired after 32 years at power plants. Most of it in gas turbines rather than steam plants. The steam plants, depending on the fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) can have fairly acidic stack gases. Personally, I would not put my drone close to that. And as @eaglegoal tender said, the stack...

    Virtual Reality on a Phantom 3 Standard - Yes it does work!

    Are there any apps for VR on iOS? Or do we just need to wait for Litchi to implement it? Sorry if this has been covered somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    How do I enable this gauge style telemtry in DJI Go? It's driving me crazy

    That's the way mine works. On the iPhone 6, it has the "bar" style. On the iPad Air, it shows the gauge type. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    I just changed the saved name of my P4?

    To be fair, mine is a Standard. Don't know if that makes a difference but I wouldn't think so. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    name change on the drone

    The newest version of the app will let you change the name as Justin pointed out. Then, after you fly, all the records will reflect the new name. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    NEW DJI GO app for IOS released!

    The harmonics would be received through the antenna just like any other signal. The comment about wifi is because the Standard quads require wifi to link the mobile device to the RC and the A/C. There is no cable connection for them. So, if you're flying a P3S, you have to have wifi. Sent...

    NEW DJI GO app for IOS released!

    Not entirely true. All signals have harmonics. If the cell phone is at 800MHz, the third harmonic falls at, that's right, 2.4GHz! Harmonics on commercial equipment are usually suppressed pretty well, but... I agree it's likely the WiFi but the Standards require WiFi to be on to link to the A/C...

    Expectations if I buy a new P3S ?

    No issues here, either! When I first saw the Standard at my local Sam's Club, they were $470. I was in the other day and they're now priced at $699!! WTH? Glad I bought mine when I did! Bet they aren't selling many at that price. You can just about buy an Advanced for that price! As an aside...
