Thanks for the analysis. It's actually great to hear some things that didn't come up with tech support. The big one is that I was fighting with myself the whole time to push the throttle! I was thinking most efficient must be RTH Speed as that would just be most logical in my mind. Something...

Oh boy... Thanks! Phantom Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

Ya I knew it was risky flying, but I chose to do exactly what the craft told me to do, RTH came too late..and the stats were displayed wrong in app, battery life jumping down for no real reason and mis-displaying the actual timeline. It was definitely glitching out a bit. Risky flying along with...

I'm using iOS app version 2.9.2

Here is a quick screen shot for more context. Check out the Flight times ... the battery time expectancy.. and the Home yellow dot... 8:53(13:46 left on battery) 11:16 (7:06 left on battery) 2 min 13 sec of flying but 6min 4sec drop in battery life expectancy in same amount of time. During...

Ambient temp? It was 21celsius so very nice. -a little humid.. maybe "feels like 25" I'll double check .. I have flown in the winter in Canada.. I should have been good.. my girlfriend and dog were swimming in the water while I flew but it wasn't VERY HOT Is there a way check the battery temp...

There was a recent app update but not a firmware update but I was definitely on whatever firmware is current.. I'll get more specific info later tonight

I knew I was flying far (beyond recommendation) .. none the less the glitchy info makes me feel it wasn't just my over confidence that screwed me over (this I would be 100% ok to me) and makes me feel the app sort of had something to do with it my wet landing (leaves a bad taste in my mouth)

Yes fully charged. I mean it still flew 18:11minute... it's just that the info I was getting was glitchy whe rth kicked in .. I'll post some screen shots from the app when I get home tonight. I've flown longer flight times than that before but I received the proper info and never had a prob...

Yes last recorded height was 16m but it was auto landing, it could have even landed gently in the water .. not sure but I guess it would actually be better for survival if it was completely dead and off..

So here is my story/warning.. using latest app update. disclaimer/context : i am a risk taker with distance and I don't really care too much about loosing the bird, but it stings a bit.. i never fly near populated areas.. always rural..no planes..usually over open water Had a P3 4k .. loved...

Hey guys I'd like to chime in with a little guide on how I use my iPad Pro to edit the 4K video from my p3 pro while on the go with no computer to aid the process. This is a workaround to the official iOS app not allowing 4K video to be downloaded from the sd-card. I use the LEEFco.com iAccess...

As the title says, taken with my P3 4k. At max height of 500m

Here is my first upload a sunset panorama. Taken with the DJI app manually and then stitched in Lightroom. Taken with a Phantom 3 4k.

Is this a stock standard/4k? Thats nearing 5 times max distance. I've had this sort of thing happen before where once connectivity is lost it just doesn't come back even when the quad is far within distance where I had full control previously in the same flight. Luckily the home spot was always...
