    CT phantom owners Check in here.. Meets/tech support/ events

    Wednesday 10:00 at Hammonasset. This will probably be the last time we will be able to meet as a group there since the camping season starts. For months now CT members of this forum have talked about getting together but that's as far as it has gone. So if you are serious about it, then try to...

    Short USB Cable Needed

    Does anyone have a source for a 12 inch micro USB cable to connect the Controller to the Samsung tablet?

    P3 Transmitter and the Inspire 1

    Does anyone know if the transmitter on the P3 can function as the slave transmitter on the Inspire1? The slave being the one to control the camera gimbal on the Inspire while the master controls the flight. I am buying the Inspire and want the 2 transmitters. But if the P3 transmitter works I...

    The Time Has Come

    I decided to try and sell my Phantom so I can upgrade to the latest technology, like the P3. I placed the ad in local Craigslist and got my asking price within 2 days. Been looking at the P3, Inspire and the Solo. P3 looks like the best bang for the buck. I looked into the Solo and although it...

    The Time Has Come

    The advantage of having a 4k camera has more to do with the editing capabilities it offers you and not so much the ability to view on a 4k TV. By filming in 4k, you have the option of cropping to a 1080 size final film. More control over eliminating unwanted elements of a scene.

    OK what's inside the P3 - any ideas?

    Great shots of the Inspire. Cannot help but notice the motor wires to the ESCs are the heavy gauge stranded (flexible) wires. I wonder what wires they use in the P3.

    P3 Video Freeze

    You know the old Roman saying.. "the early Christian gets the hungry lion". Anyone ordering the P3 now has to expect issues. Some of which may require shipping it back to DJI for warrantee work. Experience has shown us that DJI uses it's consumer base to test their equipment. If you aren't...

    P3P vs Inspire1

    I am pretty sure that the specs indicate that the GPS is in the remote on the P3. Same as Inspire. Not positive, but pretty sure.

    Phantom 2 or Phantom 3?

    In my opinion there are too many reasons to go with the P3 over the P2. Having owned the P2 for 8 months, I have been very pleased with everything except that crappy WiFi reception and the choppy video. The downstream video reception is so terrible it is practically useless. To get around this...

    I am good to go wherever and mostly whenever. I prefer during the week so there are fewer people around. Art and I have flown in the park he mentioned above. Its a good site with few if any people.

    Vote hate or love the new layout

    No amount of voting is going to change this. But I would like to comment on the process used for the change for anyone that is listening. The change over to this format was very reminiscent of how DJI handles firmware updates. Sometimes we feel lost in space. In my opinion the proper way to...
