    How often are the batteries cracking?

    Two of my three batteries now have a crack on the front. I haven't dropped one yet. Seems to me they are cracking due to contact inside the battery as they are stressed in the same place. Has DJI been good about making this right?

    New Phantom 4 not working with Air 2 (9.3.1)

    Just finished the long restore. I get a message that says"The iPad could not be restored. the device isn't eligible for the requested build." Could this have something to do with it being unlocked? Still will not get past the How to connect window. It also left me a link to this page If you...

    New Phantom 4 not working with Air 2 (9.3.1)

    I just did the iTunes reset and still have the same issues. My version of iTunes on my laptop is probably 4 years old as I do not like upgrading. Maybe I will upgrade the iTunes on the laptop and try again. Now I have filled the iPad with songs I do not want onboard . Not sure how to do this and...

    New Phantom 4 not working with Air 2 (9.3.1)

    Just read a bit about DFU restore on an iPad. The Air2 I have is an unlocked version I bought second hand off CL. It was purchased last October. Might the unlocking have something to do with my problem? Will doing this restore put the functioning of this this unit in Jeopardy?

    New Phantom 4 not working with Air 2 (9.3.1)

    Hello, I have a new P4 and picked up an Air2 with updated software only to find out that the camera view cannot be initiated. Customer service in China says that the problem lies with the 9.3.1 OS of my iPad Air 2. Apple who sells the drone on their site has nothing to say. Seems a bit much to...

    Need an iPad….Is the cheapest Mini the one to get?

    I think I have narrowed it down to a cellular Air (either 1 or 2). Do you need more than 16 GB of Ram (Is it abeneficial and worth it?) IS the AIr1 close to be the equal of the 2 when it comes to Phantom 4 performance now...and or down the line? Tia

    OK, I have been reading more in other threads on the forum. (I guess this gets answered all the time) So much to read for a Newby. Thanks, will continue trying to make good decisions before launch.

    Need an iPad….Is the cheapest Mini the one to get?

    Thanks for the tips. Is having the cellular model that beneficial? With two teenagers in the house I am pretty sick of my cell company invoice at the end of every month.

    Need an iPad….Is the cheapest Mini the one to get?

    It was a mini 2 I was looking at at on their website. . The iPad Pro sounds nice, but certainly is expensive. Is the software for the P4 just as happy on an Android platform or does it prefer Mac? Tia

    Need an iPad….Is the cheapest Mini the one to get?

    Just bought a P4 and my fingers are crossed it wasn't built on a Monday. I thought I had use of an iPad, but the family member has rescinded permission….so I guess I need to buy one. The apple store has iPad mini as refurbs for a decent price. These are wifi only and 16 Gig. Not the new Mini...
