    Sudden In Flight Battery Discharge

    Charge and discharge fully and look at the battery capacity meter. Determine what that capacity is relative to the rated capacity. It may be that your batteries have lost capacity and need replacement. This is not fixable. The good alternative is that the 'smart' chip's calibration is badly off...

    Drone law experts say challenge to FAA registration rule is likely to succeed

    Fact of the matter is that if there weren't people flying near airports, the FAA would not have responded in the draconian manner they did. Put yourself in the FAA's shoes if (and I hope this never happens) some idiot or miscreant flew a few drones into an aircraft and brought it down. They...

    Lightbridge iOS app

    The solution to the image scaling problem is to delete whatever version of the beta app you have and perform a fresh re-install

    Lightbridge iOS app

    Further to my note. The beta version is now 1.10 - (it says 1.08 on the DJI website). There is a problem with this version: Only a quarter screen of the camera view - meaning the whole FOV is compressed into the lower left quarter shows. I'm not sure if this is due to some interaction between a...

    Lightbridge iOS app

    The app suddenly failed to load on my iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1. I re downloaded and things seem fine. Its working on my iPad Air. Not sure what's the problem but there is no note on the DJI website or other blogs about this.

    Lightbridge iOS app

    After you scan the QR code you should see the screen flash to a browser page that does the side load. The app is quite small and loads in seconds. Latest version is 1.09

    Turn the GoPro on LAST. I don't know why but this works.

    Low battery warning

    There is a low battery warning - the battery symbol lights up red and blinks at the low batt threshold

    iOS or not?

    iOS is supported. The app works well on an iPhone 5s / iPad Air with minimal latency. http://www.dji.com/product/dji-lightbridge/download This has been supported since August 19th 2014 Read the manuals. It helps.

    RED RED RED on drone after patch

    Have you plugged in the Tx to the Naza? Compass plugged in? Do you get yellow lights on ATTI mode? You should still be able to fire up the motors in ATTI.

    Lightbridge iOS app

    Re: Lightbridge iOS app - notes The beta version works perfectly. There is a public link from DJI website. I've downloaded, the app works on both iP5S and iPadAir without problems. My phone is not jailbroken and I would never consider anything putting illegal on my system. I've taken the P2...

    Lightbridge iOS app

    Re: Lightbridge iOS app: go to airplane mode Could be regional security differences. I am not based in the US. The solution to the pop-ups for me was to turn off the phone transmitter function by going into 'airplane mode'. You get one reminder but after that, the pop-ups stop. This makes...

    Lightbridge iOS app

    Interesting. I'm using a Futaba 8J, iOS 7.1.2 (NOT jailbroken). latest versions of firmware on Lightbridge. iOS app ver 1.08 beta. The problem only occurs when transmission is live and I get a feed. There may be some setting that I'm not aware of. I get repeated pop-ups.

    Lightbridge iOS app

    Thanks for the quick response. However, getting the the pop-up disappear for good has not been my experience using an iP5S. Maybe it will change if I shut down and restart the phone but apparently this issue is not unique to the DJI app and is generic to iOS7 when the iOS device is connected...

    Updated Firmware - Now Having "Problem"

    One goal of the firmware updates is to restrict the flight envelope of the P2 / P2V/V+ in GPS mode for novice flyers. In particular, both horizontal speed and rate of descent are restricted. The former seeks to keep users to speeds where there is a decent chance of obtaining steady video with...
