    Battery charging hub question

    Just received an Anbee multi battery charging hub today and had a question. There are places to plug in the battery connector and the remote control connector. Does it matter which one is used? Does it change anything like charge time? I assume one does NOT want to plug both in at the same time...

    ACTUAL AGL readings?

    In this day and age... Is there an app or a setting for DJI GO or Litchi that will give you live feedback of your ACTUAL height above the ground? With maps like Google or so.ilar, this shouldn't be difficult at all, bit the only feedback I see is the AGL from the home point. How can we see the...

    RIP, Phantom 3A

    I started out with the Standard. Going to the Advanced was a HUGE difference!! I highly recommend it! The pro... unless you actually need the 4K camera, isn't probably worth it... but definitely upgrade to the Advanced if you are thinking about it. You won't regret it at all.

    RIP, Phantom 3A

    Agreed, that a P4 would be a great choice, all else being equal. However, when you have a friend that offers to sell you his nearly new P3P setup for $400, you go with a P3P. :)

    What brand and model is it? Where can I find them online?

    RIP, Phantom 3A

    Can you give me a link to what you have? I am interested in taking a look at it. Brand? Model? Website? Something? Thank you!

    RIP, Phantom 3A

    My P3A met some asphalt after I was distracted while landing and clipped a tree branch. Expensive lesson learned!! What I've learned from this: 1. State Farm will have my business in the very near future for drone insurance. 2. The gimbal and camera design on the Phantom 3 series is very...

    Pink filter (??)

    Looks to me more like a white balance issue. Are you using "auto" white balance? If so, the camera is trying to correct for all the green (trees, grass, etc) in your images. Try manually setting the white balance to an appropriate setting for that day (sunlight, shade, cloudy, etc) instead of...

    Camera focus problem SOLVED!

    I used to have a P3S and the photos from it we're tack sharp (for a small sensor camera). I then upgraded to a P3A and was very disappointed with the soft, out of focus photos it produced. Everything I read said that the camera's focus was factory set and not adjustable. I wasn't okay with...

    video loss after 10 min of flight

    I ran into this issue as well with my P3A. I ignored the suggestions of getting a new device... After all, I had a phone that was top of the line three years ago. I finally gave in and bought a new, current, very high end phone ( Google Nexus 6P running Android 7.2) and haven't had any issues...

    Bye bye phantom. It was fun :(

    IF you are in Class G airspace, you can fly 400' above a structure of you stay within 400' of the structure.... AND you must remain below either 700' or 1200' (depending on how that Class G airspace is designated on an aerial chart).

    Focus issue?

    I had a P3S that was super sharp. Then, I got a P3S and it was very soft. After a lot of reading and YouTube, I finally got the guts to disassemble my camera today and adjust the focus of the lens assembly. It took a couple hours to get it spot on, but now it produces significantly sharper...

    Intelligent Flight Modes Freeze My Video Feed!

    This isn't true. Yes, the technologies are different (wifi vs Lightbridge) and yes, the Lightbridge does have lower latency and longer range... but as far as the feed coming in from the bird, both the Standard and the Advanced are 720p @ 30fps... and both record on the card at (up to) 2.7k...

    Intelligent Flight Modes Freeze My Video Feed!

    I appreciate the reply, but I have used this device to record many many hours of footage with zero problems in the past. Additionally, have no problem recording video while in "P" mode at any resolution for any amount of time. But back to the original problem (since this has nothing to do with...

    Intelligent Flight Modes Freeze My Video Feed!

    I am using a Motorola Moto X (Android 5.1). IT's the same device I've used for the past 9 months or so without any issues on my Standard. This is something new since I upgraded to the Advanced. I've flown an hour+ in "P" mode with and without video recording and have taken multiple photos as...
