    Mavic Release Discussion

    Does anyone know if Frank Wang has been involved in the Mavic release? I remember reading he admitted staying out of the worldwide release of the Phantom 3. So thats why its important for me to know.

    No signal

    Have you got it sorted John? I have done over 800km with my P3P using apple tablet. Tried my Note 5 with Litchi and DJI GO and neither provide me with a connection to my P3.(they have in the past)

    Went to a concert yesterday and could not believe what I saw

    I agree that I would not want any drone flying near me while enjoying a concert. However, I wonder if a "tethered" drone would be more acceptable (from a legal POV) and the tether could also provide continuous power. Just thinking out loud.

    Polar Pro LED Light kit Interference?

    Just had another fly with and without. Same place - this time clear skies. 7 to 11 sats with LED kit. then took it off and bang 17 sats. Then put it back on and it was flipping between gps and none gps whilst fitting the kit.

    Polar Pro LED Light kit Interference?

    I like the lights, but although I only fly over my farm, I don't think its going to be helpful to be more visable, by people or my herds.

    Polar Pro LED Light kit Interference?

    What was that sat issue with the P2? Did I read on here that there was a simple mod to increase sat number by installing insulation between sat receiver and circuits? Maybe not all P3 s are created equal due to assembley issues.

    Polar Pro LED Light kit Interference?

    Yes.I have experienced issues. I flew mine with the LED kit turned off. Only had 7 satellites and App was flipping between GPS green and NON GPS AMBER. Took off kit and flew again and had 14 satellites and no problems. I did have the unit orientated with the micro-usb port at back.

    Operating Frequency Question?

    Hi Badfinger! And welcome. I have heard about those days for coloured flags for different frequencies. These radios we have today frequency hop so fast that cross talk between aircraft doesn't happen. I accept your no beginner but watching a video or three of these guys will bring you up to...

    My P3 isn't a drone.Its a Probe.

    Probes travel through space and gather information. Thats my story and I am sticking to it. Big article in todays New Zealand Herald stating insurance companies are rushing to exclude drones from house & contents insurance.The story was all in British currency - pounds so obviously a filler...

    Cracks!

    Cool Bedford.I attended a multicopter day out Kumeu last year - some model club hosted it.I was surprised how many tri-copters were there. DJI got back to me and said "covered by warranty" and someone will contact me - hopefully - I expect it will be Grant. Just put my P2 back together after a...
