    Losing wifi at about 60-70 meters high

    In reply to your second question, yes it will continue filming when the link is lost. However, that distance is woeful and you should be getting much better than that. DJI claim up to 1.2 kms though of course this is dependent on local conditions. Could there be something where you are flying...

    Unable to switch off a battery!

    I think best bet would be to ensure the latest firmware file is on your card in the root directory and then put the battery back in and see if it repeats the FW upgrade and gets it back to normal. If not, you may have to leave it till the battery goes flat and switches itself off. Then you can...

    How often do fall and flyaways really happen?

    Have had one flyaway BUT it was entirely my own fault and the drone was doing exactly what it is designed to do. I changed locations by about 3 miles, took off immediately without allowing the home point to be changed and the battery dropped below its set level and so went into RTH mode and...

    iPad Air 2 screen repairs

    I know this isn't directly to do with the drone but I use my iPad Air 2 with my P3P. Unfortunately the idiots at border control in Croatia dropped my iPad and refused all responsibility because... 'You have to prove to us that it wasn't broken before we dropped it!' Anyway, I've tried two...

    can people ban drones?

    The simple fact is people do not know what drone photos or video footage look like. I make a point of showing people as much as I can. I also show them that my drone camera has no way of zooming in and exactly what a person looks like from just 50 feet (unrecognizable to anyone except their...

    Gimbal making noise and vibrating

    Actually the first thing to do is NOT to send it back. You should do a gimbal recalibration first and even two or three times if necessary. This will usually solve your problem. Only if that doesn't work should you seek a repair.... which is likely to cost a fair sum!

    Firmware 1.4.1 problems

    When I first did my 1.4 upgrade to the FW, I didn't get the text file but everything was working exactly as it should. The text file mysteriously appeared on the card about three boots later! The second attempt you tried didn't do anything because it recognised that the FW had already upgraded...

    Follow me

    Surely if it has cell connection it will? I said a cell tablet. I actually have a non cell tablet (IPad Air 2) but I tried it using my phone as a personal hotspot and it worked. It's a bit of a *** though so I will use my iPhone 6 for this.

    Follow me

    You'd need both your GPS enabled device (phone or cell tablet) and your controller. It is very easy to use, just flip it to F with the bird at least 10m up in the air, you can set how far you want it to stay from you. Then move around and it follows you like a lap dog! Works extremely well from...

    LIVE STREAMING (chasing birds on fish farm)

    If you're a Floridian, I assume you are in USA EST, is that right? In which case you are -5 hours on me and it's now 3.52pm over here so are you starting at 4pm my time? :)

    No txt file

    I've done the upgrade and in the App it is showing that I am using: Drone: 1.4.0 Go App: 2.20 RC: 1.3.2 I understand the RC doesn't need to go up to the 1.4.0 (which is just as well as it stubbornly refuses to bother! My question is this: although I got all the right beeps and the red-green...

    I'm getting a nice view of your desk, water cooler and fridge-freezer but nothing else is happening!

    P3 Firmware HOW TO: Install Phantom 3 firmware

    Can anyone tell me why it isn't generating a txt file? All seems to be fine, the green/red flashing little light changed to solid green etc but it doesn't put a text file on the card.

    P3 Firmware New Firmware for PH3 and I1 coming Sept 07/15

    Might I suggest you may not have upgraded to 1.3.2 firmware? If you haven't you should definitely do so. The previous version (1.2.6 or 1.2.8) did have issues but they were sorted out for 1.3.2 and I haven't had any issues since that was released. It certainly isn't buggy at all and I've used it...
