    How do I power down after catching?

    Does;t auto land turn off the rotors based on the sensor readings when it touches land? If you catch it in the air how does the phantom know it landed?

    New DJI Go App update 2.7.2

    I updated the firmware & app after reading all your success and you can include me with a successful upgrade. I just got a notice for an iOS update which I will do now. But I took a 20 minute flight to check everything out and all seemed good. The only "issue" which I had before the update was...

    New DJI Go App update 2.7.2

    Have you guys all updated the firmware to 1.8 without any issues? I read another thread about a week ago saying people were having issues with it...before I update the app and firmware I want to make sure it's stable

    Firmware v 1.8.80 released (with notes)

    Why would I have to uninstall the Go App that many times? I can understand the first time but especially why the last time? I'm still on the 1.7 FW so I'm not updating until I can see more successes with 1.8.

    Firmware v 1.8.80 released (with notes)

    So should we hold off on the update if we haven't started yet? It seems most went ok but these last few issues are scaring me a bit!

    My new P3P Microraptor Backpack!

    I know this is an old thread but I just got a P3P and I love this backpack. I only need to know if I could fit a 13" macbook in it? I haven't been able to find anything if it has any side/back pockets that would fit a laptop. Thanks!!

    Phantom 3 Pro vs Yuneec Q500 4k: Anyone compare?

    I have used my iPad mini 3 in the sun at full brightness...not that easy to see IMO. My Note 4 is better in the sun (not by much though. I would rather not use my phone though in case I get a call. I would rather use the iPad...I would like to see that video since I can't imagine a company...

    Phantom 3 Pro vs Yuneec Q500 4k: Anyone compare?

    The Q500+ comes with a VERY good aluminum case and the screen is 5.5 inches...almost the size of the iPhone 6. You can adjust some camera settings but I don't recall to what level. I hope I don't sound like I am automatically going with the Q500...I know I am "defending" it...but I have...

    Phantom 3 Pro vs Yuneec Q500 4k: Anyone compare?

    That's what sun shades are for ;) however, no matter which model I get I plan on getting the sun shade. I just think it's a no brainer. Even my iPad Mini 3 isn't that great in the sun...and that's what I would use if I got the P3... I would like to see where Yuneec said "NOT to use their...

    Phantom 3 Pro vs Yuneec Q500 4k: Anyone compare?

    Thanks for the information. But I have read the same in regards to the lagginess of the P3's FPV using an Apple or Android device. I expect some lagginess with FPV ( I haven't read of any that didn't have some lag...even the Inspire). As for selling any...the Q500 4k hasn't been released yet...

    Phantom 3 Pro vs Yuneec Q500 4k: Anyone compare?

    I know the Yuneec 4k hasn't been released yet but I think it is the closest competition to the Phantom. I currently have a P1 and like it a lot. But to be honest everything I fly, in the back of my mind I worry about a flyaway. I have been researching the Yuneec drones (mostly the Q500+) and it...

    Look for yourself...6 inches to the top of the foam...however the landing gear ARE touching the bottom but I pushed the device into the foam a bit deeper...the photos in the ebay listing have it sitting ON the foam.
