This isn't a Phantom obviously, but had to share when I saw it. Amazing level of skill and coordination between an FPV pilot and a large scale RC pilot. Good video for those in the AMA not keen on "drones" to see how they can collaborate in the hobby. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots...

I carry but not just because I'm flying. I've carried everyday for over a decade and have been the victim of a violent crime, so I maintain the mindset that "it won't happen to me" is simply not true for some. I do also carry OC for non-life threatening encounters. I don't intend on getting into...

Be sure you are downloading the images from the bird and not just viewing them via dji go. I had this issue thinking I could hit the preview button while connected to my P3A but could only view the higher res view once I hit the little download button. Now mine are crystal clear as expected...

Tested 2.8.3 today. No video dropouts thus far compared to at least 1 every minute on 2.8.2 (iPhone 6). I will leave my iPad on 2.8.1 until more extensive testing is done. So far so good. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I'm interested in this as well. Currently have the P3A and considering a P3P cam not for the 4K, but for the downlink speed. I'm considering getting the HDMI out card for RC and FPV goggles so my family can watch flight along with me. I know P3A will "work" but like OP said it seems from reading...

Just chiming in to confirm issue on my end as well after update. Thought I had auto update disabled... dangit. My phantom can be beside the controller but still blank out. As with others, no control loss or anything. This update has just majorly hampered the ability Lightbrigde had. Hope it's a...

This. Yes it's taken into account but at the low rf levels the remote is producing I can't see how it would be an issue. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I had a new shell P3A. Shell cracked at about 20 flights. No crashes or harsh flight. Replaced with a new shell and waiting on some reinforcement plates. I don't think cracking is resolved, however I think catastrophic failure has been made far less likely. Sent from my iPhone using...

I'm a ham operator and I wouldn't think this would be the case as the rf has already been transmitted via the antenna. I see the windsurfers as just a reflector of transmitted rf. SWR mainly comes into play if an antenna isn't properly tuned for a specific frequency which restricts the...

It's not too bad. It's just getting those clips loose that can be annoying. I am definitely going to use the cell phone repair tools next time. Thanks for the tip. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

State Farm agents have received specific info on how to insure drones under personal articles policy. It's relatively new I believe. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Any good pointers for opening the shell without bending the edges? My last opening was a total shell changeout so I wasn't worried about marking it up, but any tips would be great I if I decided to mod my P3A. What cable broke btw? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I've done the same. No deductible is great. I have family that works at State Farm and it's a pretty simple personal articles policy that makes flying without worry great. I asked about the claim process and it's basically whatever I show as the amount I paid is what I would get if it were a...

I have a recent model p3a with the new frame. I had a relatively low flight count with no crashes or even close calls and I found a stress crack extending from one of my motor mount screw holes. DJI was going to repair for free obviously but I opted to do a shell change myself. I hadn't even...

Just insure it and fly care-free (as long as it's safe). I have a personal articles policy that will replace my equipment with no deductible if I screw it up. If it's a manufacturers issue, DJI will make it right if it's under warranty, and if it's liability you're concerned about join the AMA...
