    iOS Go App 2.71 - couple issues?

    Before I email DJI, can someone confirm for me that the little finger/pen for drawing guides in map view is gone on 2.71. The eraser is there. No finger. Unless I'm missing something? I live by this tool. Both my iPhone 6S and iPad mini 2 are missing it. Secondly. On the iPad mini 2 pinch to...

    143km in 6 days and dead. Pushed it too hard?

    No air-con. Just our apartment. Temps in the evening were reasonable 23C ish. Humidity in Suva is very high. Maybe this has something to do with it.

    Good news - DJI confirmed warranty swap out :) Must have been a dud.

    143km in 6 days and dead. Pushed it too hard?

    Cheers. Normally I fly the odd bit of fun video for myself but work is keen on more and more aerial work. For photos i have to fly under 5m/s to get anything useful but i do get down to 20% on every flight. The most I ran was 6 batteries back to back in 80-86 F (up to 30C) heat. How long would...

    143km in 6 days and dead. Pushed it too hard?

    I'm on my 3rd P3P.. here's a story. I got my first P2V+ last year in May. It flew flawlessly for 8 months until I took it on a hike in the hills and it had a complete power loss falling out of the sky high up the side of an inaccessible valley. Could not recover it so I assume it was a complete...

    P3 Firmware Controller will not update or generate a log file at no matter what I do

    Try another USB stick or SD Card reader. That sorted my issues.

    Phantom 3 and 3D Terrain Modeling

    I had a little play with Pix 4D last year with my V+ and it looked promising. We've just got a licence at work and had my first chance to use it last week. I shot a single battery from my p3 pro and was very impressed with the result. Ortho and terrain model for civil - survey. Have also been...

    Thanks. Will give this a try in the morning and report back. The fault is really annoying!

    IMU error ..at startup..normal?

    I've got the same thing. Seems to happen when I start up in the cold.. will try another IMU cal.. done 2 already. If I start up inside the house it never happens.

    Yeah, I was hoping for a full-on collapse.

    So far so good.. some arbitrary clips from the first 3 flights. One was in a very strong wind - notice the flood light bouncing around. P3 handled it like a boss

    iOS app 1.1.1 and Firmware 1.1.6 - First Test Flight

    Yip - Rio 125. Cheers. I had to upgrade the FW. Download from DJI, unzip to root of SD card, drop it into the P3's camera and panic for 25 mins while it beeps. Then repeat with the controller (I used a card reader with the SD card from the P3), but this time the beeping wait was short - maybe...
