    Total loss of all signals on RTH

    @RodPad You guessed correctly, I am having trouble spelling correctly. First I am over 60, second English is not my native language, third I have to read at least 3 times what I wrote and still gibberish slips through and my hands type often something totally different than what I want to say...

    Total loss of all signals on RTH

    We have lots of long range 5.8 GHz antennas around here to connect all the little rural settlements. They have a very small beam but powerfull, I think I might have flown back in one of them what did cause the total loss of control. It might have even been mine...

    Total loss of all signals on RTH

    Thank you for your answer. I forgot about it that the controller should work without the app and try to land manually. This can happen when the slight panic mode sets in...

    Total loss of all signals on RTH

    This is the first time in around 100 flights within a Year this happened. I always fly to the max range, let RTH kick in and cancel RTH when I get a good signal back and fly into another direction. Yesterday the following happened. Flew 2 hours before and set new record for me with nearly 2300...

    P3S from hate to love

    @Solly747400 do you have a picture of your mod? In April the oranges starting to bloom and it is just gorgeous to open the windows in the evening and let the smell of orange blossoms fill the room. @120CCPM I looked at the mounts since I got my P3S a good year ago, but to be honest some have...

    P3S from hate to love

    To oprimize the experience, I put a bench on top of our roof to see even futher and the drone start and landing spot is a 6x6 meter roof (covered in thick green astro turf). So I upgraded the view from this (blooming almond trees) to this: (and since the upgrade had nothing to do with DJI...

    P3S from hate to love

    So 20%, 50%, 80% or even 100% more? How about over 300% more just with a piece of tin the right shape and the antenna tip in the chenter of the reflector. Don´t belive me? (I would not, sounds too much like snake oil salesman) Well step closer folks and see for yourself. Here are the logs of my...

    P3S from hate to love

    Now I just needed to boost my range and flying would be fine finally. I looked around the tool shed and found a old tin lamp. It was a hollow metal cylinder I was looking for and this 65 mm diameter lamp looked just about right. It is made from stainless steel and took my rotary tool 2 blades...

    P3S from hate to love

    When fall 2016 the hype with the Mavic pro started my dream of flying like a beagle (you can scratch the b if you want - but I don´t fly that gracious) was rekindled. Can you imagine in the first youtube months there was nobody doing a real range test? A gazillion videos and no one in "half...

    P3S from hate to love

    When DJI finally offered the P3S in the beginning of 2016 for 599 Euro there was nor reason anymore not to try the world of flying up into the air and looking down without the hazzard of crashing the airplane (ultralight) and getting killed in the worst case. 1000 meter reach and a 720p...

    Customer service Europe

    sorry 4 your loss, If a gimbal/camera unit is damaged, there is no repair , only exchange and that is with 350 for a P3S the same as a total. It is more economic to buy for 599 euro a new one and have an extra battery, controller etc. DJI offers now a 1 year care insurance what might have payed...

    2.7K to 1080p

    I did a resolution comparison with 2.5k (4 mp) 1080 (2 mp) and 720 (1 mp) The detail is superior in 2.5k I use handbrake.fr to re-encode the clips I keep. It is free and works on all platforms. It saves 75% space with near original quality (depends on your settings). If you use 2.5k and you crop...
