    P3 FIRMWARE HISTORY, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

    The DJI process improvement track has been panning out to be a bit of give and a lot of take. The P4 thread seems to add weight to certain facts and fictions. I'm a little bit lost with the chronology of developments of the past couple of months. It just goes to show how fast and frequent...

    Anyone spent quality time with DJI carbon reinforced props?

    Have no problem with them. I'm not sure if they are better or not. Maybe they work better with a firmware upgrade...Lol! They are stiffer, they are quieter. I see no gain in flying time. Perhaps it is a marginal improvement.

    POI altitude cheat?

    You can fly -I've altitude from the POI. I do this all the time in mountainous country. So if you launch from a plane, then I suppose the sky is the limit!

    Is this a good SD card?

    Sandisk Class 10 64 GB. Buy genuine. Don't buy off eBay, most are counterfeit.

    IMPORTANT: DJI Go app 2.50/2.51 enables GEO functionality

    That is Total BS. You know nothing about "Patch Tuesday" obviously. The vendor DJI here is accountable for their software and systems implementation. The biggest problem here is the consumer does not know what they are buying into and what the future customer relationship for worldwide use of...

    IMPORTANT: DJI Go app 2.50/2.51 enables GEO functionality

    I see no difference between 2.4.2 and 2.4.3. The NFZs popped up in 2.4.2. Neither stopped me from powering up to a 1.2m hover in my part of the world. No unlock prompts either. I'm at 1.3.20 and haven't been past 1.4. The RC is at 2.5.

    Thinking about Geofencing....

    The world industrialised China and now it is dependant upon it's manufacture. What will come next in a blink of an eye?

    Taling Ngam is a nice hillside to take off from!

    Downgrade Remote Success, How to get from 1.4.1 to 1.1.9?

    Anyone tried bringing their radio down from 1.5.7? The USB stick method will of course not work.

    Interesting. Thanks. I have a feeling with IOS 9 if you do not update your apps via computer using iTunes, the backup simply backs up a "thin-app" which is just a pointer to instruct the device to download the app again which of course will be the latest version published in the App Store.

    Was it a full encrypt ITunes backup that gave you back 2.4.3? I regret moving to IOS9.x and having to resort to the whole JB thing as future insurance... It would seem that an iTunes backup/restore is the last saving grace.

    What to check on buying used P3 Advanced?

    With the Go App. There is a cycle history log.

    I'm staying 2.4.3 until I get a handle on what else is lurking in 2.5. I get NFZ warning on 2.4.3 and 1.3.20 but no other surprises. No doubt the Go App freeflyzone database has been expanded upon.

    Autopilot for DJI IOS App - thoughts?

    How does Autopilot compare to FPV Camera + Mission Planner bundle? I had FPV Camera and the Misson Planner but have yet to try it out.

    80 to 90% battery level takeoff is triggering outrage

    That would appear to be the case. It would seem that in order for them to enforce GEO Fencing and device disablement, the firmware needs to be flashed onto the UAV. Running the latest RC firmware and Go App on 1.30.20 only gives the usual NFZ warning message, nothing else.
