    Upgrade transmitter antenna

    Close. Actually "TX" would be for Transmitter. A Transceiver is a combination of a transmitter and receiver, such as a cell phone.

    Can the Phantom fly without a tablet or phone?

    It sure can fly without the tablet. I normally use my tablet for just a minute after I power up the P3 just to make sure all the status indicators look good. I turn off the tablet and then use the HDMI video for the rest of the flight. If you don't use the tablet though, all the telemetry...

    What would be your reaction to this sale?

    What junk, I wish I would have seen that video before I plunked down the wad of cash I did for my P3. I bought the Phantom 3 strictly for hitting it with a hammer and running it over. Now I have cracks in the motor mounts and it drifts. DJI needs to step up and admit that there is a problem...

    Is a tablet necessary to fly the P3

    I only use my tablet (Samsung Tab 4 ) to verify no warnings. Once the Phantom is warmed up and ready to fly I never look at it again. All the info I need is on the 22" HD monitor I use for FPV. The HDMI upgrade is fantastic.

    Uncontrolled descent

    It's clearly the fault of the swimming pool builder. Go after them for building the pool that destroyed your Phantom. Duh!

    Hot weather flying - The Arizona desert is heating up. What's the highest temp that you've flown in?

    I fly the deserts between Tucson and Phoenix almost every weekend year around. 110+ degrees doesn't seem to have much negative effect. Watch out for the dust devils as the ground warms up. I have had one flight where I crashed my TBS disco due to what I think was lack of air density and I...

    HDMI board not working.

    Installed the new HDMI board, tuned on tablet, tramsmitter, aircraft. Went into DJI App and set dual view for tablet and HDMI out and turned on OSD. All I get from the HDMI out put is the OSD, no video. Video is on the tablet though. Im using a HDMI cable from a Canon HD camcorder. Are the...

    FlyAway on Video

    Looks like the GPS was't updating your location. Compass looks like it was working.

    Should I update firmware

    I think I will just leave it alone on 1.1.5. It seems to fly well for me. I have the HDMI board on the way to hopefully deal with the video lag. I see too many posting problems with updates. Thanks for your input guys.

    Should I update firmware

    My P3 A is only one month old as of 7/10. When I go into DJI App (android), it indicates that FW 1.1.5 is what is on it. So far, I'am happy with the way it flies and am wondering it there is any reason to update to 1.2.8. If I do update, will I have to go incrementally or can I go straight...
