    K1 Shield Questions

    Thanks msinger - I just tested cache the maps and it seemed to work. The K1 has GPS built in ... is there any advantage to that with P4P and Mavic?

    K1 Shield Questions

    Just started flying with K1 Shield. I believe I have the best settings with it for flying P4P (by following some good advice on here). I still have 2 questions: 1 - Why does it charge my tablet when connected to RC? 2 - There is no data on the map in the app. What's the best way to get this to...

    What is the best 8 inch tablet to use

    I recently upgraded from P3P to P4P... I noticed that I got a lot of video lag with my iPad mini 2 (which was solid with P3P). I switched to my iPhone 6 Plus and have had much better success. I also just purchased a Nvidia K-1. I'm hoping this works well with the P4P. I have only used Apple...

    Terrible video transmission...

    First flight with my P4P and the video on my iPad mini keeps freezing or video is pixilated, and blacks out. Firmware is updated as well as the GO 4 App. Problems happens almost immediately. I use to fly my P3P from the same location with zero problems. Also, I had a tough time updating the...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A Tablet

    Just got this tablet... Does anyone have experience with running the GoApp with this device? I'm currently running the app on my iPad mini 2 which seems to be OK, but am interested in what Android users think. Thanks. Sent from my iPod touch using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Will the Butterflies ever leave?

    I always get a few butterflies on my first flight of the day. I recently crashed my P3P, and most of the long time veterans of drone flying I spoke with just laughed and basically said ... It's not if you crash, but when! With that said, fly safe and responsible, and enjoy the hobby. BTW, after...

    GPS switches to Atti Mode... Panic

    I thought turning off the controller was a fail safe option, and AC would return to home. I'm glad I did not initiate that option, as for a while I was getting no GPS... I would have lost my bird for sure. Sent from my iPod touch using PhantomPilots mobile app

    GPS switches to Atti Mode... Panic

    Last weekend flew and at mid flight my controller switched to Atti mode. It also started reporting errors. I completely lost LOS and started to get a little worried. Luckily, it reverted back to GPS and safe to fly. I noticed in Atti mode RTH did not work. I was just about to turn off remote...

    turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off, finally!!

    I have this problem from time to time. When it starts to get really bad I do a "cold" IMU. This seems to resolve the problem (and doing the above posts on order of power-up) at least for a few weeks. Plenty of posts/opinions on this site for procedures on cold IMU. One last thing... Sometimes...

    Dji phantom 3 battery sale (Canada)

    I went to Best Buy yesterday and the sales clerk on the floor said they do not match Canada Best Buy prices; however, when I went up to the cashier (buying some xtra props) I showed him the ad on my iPhone and he accepted it with no problem! I was surprised and happy that it went through for 99...

When I was checking out at the register (buying a few xtra props) I asked the cashier again, and showed him the add on my iPhone and it went through with no problem for 99.00 bucks...

    Range question... Not quite a newbie anymore

    Been flying my P3P for a few months now and feel I am getting better and more confident. With that in mind, I have been naturally flying greater distances (almost always LOS). I see many posts where people state their long distances achieved. My cousin and I (He has P4) both seem to get about...

    Latest firmware update 1.9

    My dilemma ... I was going to update to this new version but realized I will be on vacation soon (during first week of July). My AC seems to be flying fine with my current FW. Is there any benefits to updating now, or should I just wait until after I get back? I plan on bringing my P3P with me...
