    Visiting Canada from US - Anything I need to be aware of?

    Thanks for the excellent info Spirytus. At this point I'm not sure that I want to even attempt to fly in Canada unless I'm in the middle of nowhere, my biggest concern was more along the lines of getting my phantom confiscated at the border. It sounds like this must have been a very isolated...

    Visiting Canada from US - Anything I need to be aware of?

    Thanks, it certainly doesn't look promising. However that video is over a year old and I believe laws have changed since then. Anyone have any first-hand experience this year?

    Visiting Canada from US - Anything I need to be aware of?

    I am road-tripping with the family in a few weeks. As part of that trip, we plan to enter Canada near Detroit MI, stay with some friends in Toronto for a few days, drive up to Montreal, then re-enter the US into Maine where we will visit some other friends. I expect we will be in Canada for...

    Overlaying route data on video

    Certainly sounds like the same thing. I ended up settling on the little circle since position was much more important than direction.

    Overlaying route data on video

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction on this. I spent many hours figuring out how to make it do exactly what I want, so I figured I would come back here and post the exact steps I had to take to achieve my desired results. Hopefully this will make things easier for the next person...

    Overlaying route data on video

    Thank you both, I will take a look at Dashlane and Dashware.

    Have any of you Phantom Pilots stepped into FPV racing?

    The phantom is great at what it was designed for, which is a flying camera platform. As someone else said, it is completely different than flying an fpv racer mini quad. Maybe 5% of what you learn on a phantom will translate into skills for flying an fpv racer, they are THAT different! Having...

    Overlaying route data on video

    Can anyone tell me what the best way to overlay a route map on top of video would be? For example, let's say I wanted to fly along a racetrack - the main video would show the flight, but in the top corner, I'd like to see a map if the racetrack to see the phantoms position as it makes its way...

    USB Debugging no longer required on Android devices?

    Thanks for the input everyone. I also searched through the current manuals, there is no reference to usb debugging being enabled as far as I was able to determine, this no longer seems to be a requirement. I've never quite understood why it was required in the first place - maybe for gps...

    USB Debugging no longer required on Android devices?

    Since getting my replacement Nvidia Shield tablet (battery recall), I had been having problems with the controller disconnecting randomly. I'd be flying around, and suddenly the DJI Go app would say DISCONNECTED (or something similar). No warning, no weak signal, just a sudden disconnect. I'd...

    Need help analyzing my flyaway....

    Just a quick update to this thread for anyone that was following it, I never was able to determine what caused the P3P to fly off like it did. Litchi log analysis just didn't give me enough info. After reasearching everything I could without flying for about 2 weeks, I decided to just...

    What's the latest on cracking shell replacements from DJI?

    I'm about 70 flights in now, I figured I was one of the more fortunate people that have a P3P with a robust shell. I just took a look at the thread regarding differences in shells, went to go look at mine, and "NOOOOOOoooooooo.....!!!!". There they are, a crack on both rear arms, around the...

    Need help analyzing my flyaway....

    Thanks for the input guys. Frank - I don't have access to the logs right now but I can send them over tonight, thanks. Fw v1.4.0010. No compass calibration for the past few weeks (no need, flying from the same location, 2 successful flights earlier that day) Viral, thanks but it looks like...

    Need help analyzing my flyaway....

    Just when I thought it wouldn't happen to me... Here's the story. P3P, I have about 70 flights under my belt. I paid for Litchi the same day that the latest firmware came out, because I really wanted ground-programmable waypoints as an option. I had about 7 successful litchi flights...

    Broke the 100 flight mark last week. Thinking of selling my bird though.

    Are there a lot of logs & branches alongside the river in WA from the logging days? (Never been to the west coast).
