    Either Billy is trolling or needs to ask this question to the FAA for clarification.

    Australian drone pilots face automatic grounding under national crackdown

    It's already in place here in UK, and USA. Whilst it may be a PITA, it's no biggie. If you can't pass the test you probably shouldn't be flying anything bigger than a paper plane.

    Phantom 3 Standard RC Signal Lost

    Then you got lucky. Upload your flight log to airdata, it will show you the signal strength and any other warnings that may explain what's going on.

    Phantom 3 Standard RC Signal Lost

    The side of the antenna needs to be parallel with the vertical part of the phantom legs for maximum signal. You cannot achieve that at 100 feet out and 200 feet up. Try 500 feet out.

    Phantom 3 Standard RC Signal Lost

    How far away, horizontally, were you when you tested? The P3S signal is pretty poor in ideal conditions. Any kind of interference, wifi, phone etc. will reduce it.

    Phantom 3 Standard RC Signal Lost

    That is your problem. The edge of the antenna on the controller needs to face the Phantom legs. If you go straight up you will get a bad signal. Even if you put the controller out flat you still won't have the best signal, because the phantom antenna runs down the legs. You need to fly away...

    Phantom 3 Standard RC Signal Lost

    How far away horizontally is the Phantom when you lose signal? How are you orienting the antenna relative to the Phantom?

    If the video is 4k, does it tranmit to the controller in 4k?

    They are stored if you have video cache enabled in the app. See here: How do i download my videos from the DJI GO 4 app?

    If the video is 4k, does it tranmit to the controller in 4k?

    Correct, the "full fat" video goes to the SD card, the iPad gets 720p, complete with any transmission glitches

    If the video is 4k, does it tranmit to the controller in 4k?

    No it's not, it's 720p at 30fps to the camera view

    does anything come loose or need tightening??

    No, not normally. Do a simple preflight - props on correctly, landing gear all sound, no cracks. I flew RC helis and planes for many years, loctite was a way of life. Not with these.
