    HOW TO: Fix unstable Phantom 3 remote controller tablet mount

    How about somebody making a holder that will accomodate an iPad Air in a protective case? I get tired of having to take mine out of its Otterbox, or bungie-cording it to the controller.

    Gimbal making noise and vibrating

    Bummer. I do a lot of stupid things with my drone (multiple hard landings/crashes) and haven't had that happen. Just a matter of time. (Even with prop guards I've replaced around 10 props.) Some day I'll learn to be careful. We've got lots of high winds, rocks/cactus, and bats. Wind is my nemesis.

    Anyone using a Tracker? Recommendations?

    CapnBob, Got one of those beacons and one of tahe piezos. I can see myseld really screwing up the board trying to get that piezo soldered to it - and I've got a little experience soldering (emphasis on little). I'm waiting on that to do. I put together a yagi and had not much success with it...

    Autopilot 2.0 out now

    I've been through the flight school manual and purchased the basic app and have a few questions. I get a little mixed up with the explanations where you use bearing and offset and so on. I'm used to the standard use of these terms with land nav and there seems to be some inconsistency with that...

    Faster Time Lapse - 5 seconds too slow

    Could it be your photo format settings (coupled with your SD card rating)? If you're photo-ing in JPG + RAW or just RAW it would take longer to write the files to disk, especially if it's not a really speedy card. Just a guess.

    DJI Fly Logs

    Just a thought - If you've connected through the USB cable and see the files, and then delete them (the ones you want gone) - don't forget to "Empty Recycle Bin" or "Empty Trash" (depending on your computer's OS). Otherwise the files still remain on the card.

    How to get back flight records?

    I've done a number of flights since the missing ones (which were all from the beginning). The missing ones are all of the first 20 or so. I have done the cloud sync several times since, and all the newer ones show up. I am using the latest firmware and iOS app. Seems odd that all flight logs...

    How to get back flight records?

    Hitting the cloud button doesn't solve the problem.
