Turn it on with props removed, do not start motors. As to Li-Ion/Li-Po batteries - they do not need "conditioning". In general you should avoid excessive discharge/recharge cycles as these are bad for the battery, although you need an occasional one on a Phantom to rebalance the battery. I...

I'm basically holding off for now. I absolutely hated the P2 stock controller (yaw was WAY too sensitive with no way to adjust yaw gain), and the fact that we're stuck with the P3 stock controller has me holding off on the P3 and unlikely to buy it. I absolutely won't be buying it until...

Possible? Sure. A good idea with independent radio systems - Usually not (although it's been fine for me so far if reducing downlink video to 240p on the P2...) The issue is that if your wifi system is unaware of when the RC transmitter is transmitting or vice versa, the RC transmitter can...

So on the P3, we can change yaw gain, AND with an expo curve? We couldn't on the P2. Why would I want to swap the Lightbridge controller? Because DJI's controllers have historically been crippled junk. The problem is they integrated Lightbridge into the controller to the point where you...

Given my horrific experience with DJI batteries and their (lack of) warranty - Not until Limefuel starts offering P3 batteries. And then it depends on if they implement yaw gain adjustment for the controller, since it appears they've made it even more difficult (if not impossible) to use a Futaba.

Also note that there are many 1/2.3" EXMOR sensors - unless exact model number is called out in specs for the GoPro, Phantom, and Inspire - the sensors may be different. However, newer is usually better.

I don't have a link to the post with me, but sometime in the past day or two a DJI rep posted that while the Phantom 3 is using some form of "Lightbridge" - it is using one that is NOT compatible with the existing LB ground stations. (Although I think I saw one person indicate that the Inspire...

Same sensor but different lens?

If that is the case, there would be no way to use an alternative controller (Such as a Futaba) with the P3. After the benefits of replacing the DJI P2V+ controller and receiver with a Futaba T14SG - I'm never going back to something that forces me to use a stock DJI transmitter. I can't live...

I have mixed feelings about this. Overall it's great, HOWEVER: My biggest gripe about the P2V+ was the insanely oversensitive yaw controls with no way to fix this without electrical modifications to the transmitter. As a result, I bought a Futaba T14SG - Despite it sharing the control uplink...

Hmm, one question would be, what would the nominal voltage be on the new LiPo chemistry that has a peak charging voltage of 4.35v/cell instead of 4.2v/cell? These have been showing up in phones since early 2013 (Oppo Find5 had a 4.35v cell, so does Find7 and Sony Xperia Z3) - these cells might...

Out of curiosity - does anyone know if the P2V+ GPS receiver supported WAAS? Given the rather poor TTFF it had, it seems like it was a pretty basic/crappy unit. Ephemeride retention along with WAAS would make for some great improvements if those are in there in addition to GLONASS support. My...

There's also the fact that the modified P1 has, as far as I can tell, a low-quality camera that is NOT gimbal-mounted. The P3 has approximately the same flight time rating as the P2V+ does, despite a heavier payload (aluminum camera body instead of plastic, larger camera sensor and hence...

Yeah. What I'm wondering is: 1) Are new L54P units compatible with firmware updates? 2) If they are, is there a method for upgrading older L54Ps? Either way, I ordered an L60

I clipped out your image to avoid lengthening the thread too much, but that is EXACTLY the line I'm talking about from the Amazon page at http://www.amazon.com/Limefuel-Replacem ... 00QR10588/ "*1/1/2015 New Release- Limefuel Air is compatible and upgradeable with DJI firmware updates." This...
