    Phantom 3 Pro Firmware v1.10.90 update Successful tips Shared !!!

    Does it matter which you update first? The R/C first and them the craft for example. Can you put the firmware file on the SD card through the phantom or do you need to remove the card? And get a micro SD card adaptor to plug into your PC.

    Any detailed DJI Go instructions out there?

    Is there good instructions/manual on getting the best out of DJ GO? I would like to find out for example what the lines and colour dot next to the camera settings on the r/h of the main screen does or tells you. Also does the software sometimes glitch. I went from manual to auto on the camera...

    Phantom 3 motor question

    Just curious but why does the P3 and I guess the P4 etc do that little pulse when you first start the motors? I am guessing it is something to do with the active braking? Neither my P1 or P2 do this effect.

    Sharper in video than photo?

    Just took my new P3 Pro for its first flight today. I have flown both a P1 & P2 before with a hero 3 black camera. In the past I have only shot video at 1080p 50fps and take screenshots if I wanted a still. So I was looking forward to much more creative control with the Phantom 3 Pro. It was...

    Removing UV Filter tips

    I have just myself a P3 Pro and have also just broke that gripper tool and still not got the filter off! Looks like they used the typical cracking plastic to make that tool! Why on earth do they fit the filter so tightly in the first place?

    P3 Pro controller Red LED flashes and bleeps on switching on

    Have just got my P3 Pro after using a P1 and P2 and getting to grips with all the new software/hardware options. First thing I do notice is when I turn the controller on the red led comes on and them starts to flash and bleep. This stops if I move the left stick. Does this "remote control error"...

    Flying P3 Pro without screen

    Just ordered the P3 Pro. Might go for the Ipad mini 2 wifi. I was intending to get an ipad regardless of the Phantom anyway at some point. Am I right in saying with wifi not cellular you can load all the maps you need before you head off to the flying area. And don't need internet/GPS access...

    Flying P3 Pro without screen

    Can you fly the Phantom 3 Pro without using any screen? And if so can you update the craft using a PC like the P1/P2. Or do you a need a smart phone/tablet? I am going to get an ipad quite soon but wondered if I ordered a P3 Pro whether I could use it in the meantime. Which is the best current...

    Gimbal choices?

    Although more than $100 I would still recommend the Zenmuse H3 3D particularly as you have the upgrade board fitted. On my P1 which did not have the board fitted I used a DYS Smart 3 axis gimbal. But the results were far inferior to the H3 3D results I got later on my P2. It needed endless...
