    P3 a step backwards from P2?

    Eliminating cables or wires from the update eliminates a potential point of failure. Having a update over wifi has a big chance that if the connection is lost, the quad becomes bricked. Same with updating over USB, but not as likely a problem. I sort of like this way. Just my .02.

    500m limit cracked yet? Not buying P3 before.

    Took the words right out of my mouth.

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    Well crud. That's not a limitation of all tv's I pray?

    I'm using SD :) Not sure if that makes a difference (I believe it's a tad quicker, no?)

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    Good point and good question. Some marketing person perhaps decided that? :) I'll try to convert it with a more common codec (kinda hard as I can't find what codecs will work) and that'll be my last ditch effort :) Anyone have a suggestion as to what a fairly universal codec is to try?

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    Not sure what you're trying to say? I would assume it can play back 4k Video. There's nothing (that I see) to say otherwise?

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    It's a work TV so kind of limited as to what extent I can troubleshoot the TV :) Appreciate all the replies / help but sounds like this may be a no go. Will probably invest in a 4k monitor for my home soon, but that will then hook up to a computer, but still then I can mess around with updates...

    Well was hoping to be able to play the SD card on the TV, but sounds like that may be a no go :)

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    Searching the tv manual for codec: Nothing. VIdeo formats shows MOV/MP4 (among others) and says " H.264 MPEG4 Motion Jpeg But even with a Google search, I'm not seeing any reference to what codecs it supports :( It DID play a 1080p video shot with Android based camera. Woudln't play video from...

    Play P3 MP4 video on smart tv

    Hi All, I have a Sharp LC70UD1U_OM smart tv that supposedly can play MP4 and MOV files up to 4k . First, nothing would play from the Phantom. I had it set to MOV. So I tried converting to MP4. Still no go. Then I realized natively the P3 could create the video in MP4. So I switched to MP4, and...

    2 GREEN Flexible 3D Printed Camera Lens Caps for the NEW DJI Phantom 3

    There's a number of sites out there that will print whatever (within limits - legal, etc) if you upload the cad file to them. Shame no one wants to share the cad file for the lens cap, since obviously then you could put your own color / design / etc on it :)

    Testing cheap dual OS tablet as FPV

    Got the X98 Air 3G from aliexpress.com. It was about $130 on sale when I bought it. Works great!

    What is Hs in GPS data?

    So the VPS only is effective for a few feet, right? So maybe that's why I only see a distance of like 4-5 feet from it, then 0?

    What is Hs in GPS data?

    Yep. There's times when it does appear that it's vertical speed, and times when it's not. I can't see any corolation between movement and the numbers.

    What is Hs in GPS data?

    That would sound obvious, but I'm seeing times where I'm ascending and it doesn't move. (but altitude IS changing - according to Hb.)
