    New Phantom Pro 3 won't take firmware update - Help.

    Thanks a lot, man! I was going nuts around here, after 6 months in the box, took the bird out for a spin and it would not connect, not update, nothing! I was ready to give up and send it to DJI, when I saw this about the IOS. Tried again with android, and it went smooth as ever before! Thank...

    Thanks a lot for the info!

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    That's a pretty valid concern. The user manual specifies clearly that charging both a battery and the RC at the same time should be avoided, because it can overheat the charger.

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    That would be great! I'd appreciate if you could help me with a link for that product. Of course I can not expect the same quality build and electric security from a third party cheap product.

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    Yes, I agree the drone is amazing for the money, but that multi-charger from ebay costs 10€, and it apparently does the same as the DJI 99€ one.

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    Yeah, it sure is liberating, freeing us from the battery charger swapping. But for 99€, I would expect a little more.

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    I didn't know that it only charges one at a time.... What a shame. There are other options, like this: DR25 Multi-function Battery Parallel Charger Board Plate For DJI Phantom 3 Pro I am not sure about this, is it safe? And does it charge multiple batteries at the same time?

    DJI Phantom 3 charging hub, anyone?

    I've been having a great time with my P3P, since I bought two extra batteries and a iPad Mini 2. But the down time for charging three batteries takes forever. DJI have this battery charging hub, but (as usual) information is next to nothing. Price is also steep (99 €), but I'd be willing to...

    Icon unknown (by me at least) in the DJI App

    I am having this same issue. I am standing a few feet from my Phantom 3, and that "person" indicator reads 1600m (a mile!). I was going to try the new "follow me" mode, but couldn't do it, the app kept displaying an error message "Phantom too far". What can I do to fix this?

    P3P doesn't refresh GPS Home Point

    I lost video and r/c signal roughly at the same time. It didn't even gave me the time to turn around, as I usually do when it happens.

    P3P doesn't refresh GPS Home Point

    Today I experienced the fear of a fly away, having lost video/radio control of the drone at 600 meters (2 Km, yeahh right...). The return to home activated, but to my horror there was no home for it to come back to! Later, some telemetry reappeared (distance and speed) and it was going full...

    Potentially serious problem with Phantom 3 and iPad

    I use a Samsung S3, the phone never gets hot, and the app fails frequently, no matter the place, time or the distance. Yes, I rolled back Google Play Services, flight mode, all other apps closed and memory optimisation.

    I've Joined the Crashed Drone Club....

    Being aware of surroundings is key to avoid crashes at low altitudes. I was lucky enough not to crash mine on my very first flight, as the momentum carried my P3P inches above a metal fence into the bushes.... Then, two days later I forgot there was a lamp post right behind me, and did a...

    Software update causing problems??!

    I had a flight this morning, after the re-linking and channel hack yesterday. App failed right after I changed from Pos to Atti flight mode. Tried to get back to P mode, but it wouldn't refresh telemetry, all status bars grey and inactive, video feed continued though. Yes, I waited long enough...

    Signal lose

    Thanks, it was that easy! Now the options are there, custom/auto and the channel list. Should I mess with them? Or just leave them alone?
