    UAV Forecast Trustworthiness?

    As much as I love this app I find the rain % here in central Florida to be highly inaccurate. I have given up many opportunities to fly due to UAV Forecast showing high rain chances and it never raining. I've had to fall back on my trusty Accuweather app for (as close to) accurate rain chance...

    Nexus 7 II sunshade question

    I finally got a chance to get my bird in the air yesterday and have to say that with the Tough Armor anti-glare screen cover and the stock DJI sun shield viewing on my Nexus 7 II has dramatically improved. Not perfect, but at least I can see everything now! Sent from my iPhone using...

    New Nanuk 945 DJI Phantom 3 Case

    I love my Nanuk 945. Fits my P3A and all my accessories perfectly. I got it practically new off eBay for $120. I didn't think I'd like the army green at first but it's grown on me. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Nexus 7 II sunshade question

    I did end up getting the 3D printed and the DJI sun shields. The 3D printed one is convenient but not very effective. It only came in white so I'm wondering if I paint it black that may help. Another project for another day... I made the same modification you did to your DJI shield and it fits...

    iPad Mini 4 with Wi-Fi + HotSpot

    That was my question exactly. Thanks for clearing that up. It would be nice not to have to cache maps before I head out. I'll give it a shot. Do you agree that I should tether over Bluetooth instead of WiFi so I don't run into any interference issues?

    Any nexus 7 users?

    I have a 2013 model as well and it works great. Got it on eBay for $110 in practically new condition. Keep looking and you'll find one. Save a search for Nexus 7 II 2013. That will help. I only use it for the DJI Go app with no other "crap apps" and the performance is wonderful. Sent from my...
