    New Battery, Old firmware

    What version should I use? should I downgrade to 1.4? I downloaded the 1.5 firmware and put the Bin on a micoSd. I put the micro sd in the camera slot and installed the new battery. The go app is still saying I need to update the firmware on my new battery? My two old batteries say they are...

    New Battery, Old firmware

    I'm using 1.5.3. I just purchased a new battery and the GoApp says I need to updated the firmware of the battery. I don't have the 1.5.3 file to update the battery. Am I still able to download 1.5.3 onto a microsd from somewhere so I can update the battery? I don't want to update the...

    Maxx VS Terminator. Long distance antenna shootout!

    What is the advantage of using the pre-existing factory antenna holes vs drilling new holes of the panel antenna? It seems like most people choose to drill new holes. Why?

    1st time buyer. Which one?

    I have read so much regarding DJI's poor service that seems to hold me back from jumping at the top of the line for my first purchase (of course people with bad experiences are much more vocal than those with good). Over your history with all the past models have you had to deal with DJI or...

    1st time buyer. Which one?

    Right now on Amazon P3A is $729 and P3P is as cheap as $815. With the better battery charger included with the P3P I wasn't even considering the P3A anymore. It seems P3P prices have fallen much faster than P3A.

    1st time buyer. Which one?

    I have a 150 acre horse farm that I would like to monitor from the sky. I have also been a hobby photographer since the days of dark rooms. My 12 year old son and I fly Syma x5 and x8's and we are quite proficient with them within their limited use. My son has put his x5 in a tree on two...

    1st time buyer. Which one?

    This will be my 1st "non-toy" quad. Should I take advantage of the time tested, old technology P3P at a great price or should I jump-in and invest in the P4? The current price difference is about $550. I would then have to buy extra batteries for either system. Am i getting much more bang...

    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    I don't yet own a satellite quad. I have been researching for about 6 months trying to learn everything I can before making the plunge. The Idea of a class is amazing. All my knowledge so far has been gained from this forum, and now that I have found it, your web site. For me the class would...

    P4 vs. P3 Comparison Thread (Title Changed)

    I have been waiting to buy my first satellite quad. I don't think this offers enough over the P3P to justify the extra price at this point. Still considering P3P, Q5004k, or wait even longer to see how people like the H once it is released.
