    Unusual lines in the video… Need some input

    If they're stronger in the top corners, it could be prop shadow.

    Probably dumb question but why is my video delayed?

    It probably means your computer isn't powerful enough to handle the 4K playback....try filming something in 1080p and see if that plays back ok.

    Deer -v- Sport mode :D

    Fun for you, maybe.....but not for them! Harassing wildlife is not a good idea.

    NOT The Usual Range Thread.....

    The range for the UK is quoted as 3.5km, not 7.

    Uninstall HDMI module P3P, replace with original

    The 'GPS signal too weak' message refers to the GPS in your tablet, not the Phantom. I would guess you may be using a non cellular iPad ?

    Near Loss of Phantom 4 From Moving Sailboat - Twice

    You need to enable Multiple Flight Modes in the app to use Sport mode.

    Instead of returning home it lands!

    How far away was the Phantom when you pushed the H button? If you're closer than 65 ft, it will land automatically.

    Busted gimble P3A

    Don't forget you'll need to update the firmware on the P3 if you change the camera, as it effectively becomes a P3 Pro.

    directional arrow help please

    Maybe it's the compass in your phone/tablet that needs calibrating?
  10. rockydog

    Compass error, recalibration failed, stuck in Atti mode.

    Regarding your dark screen....it sounds as if you may have the EV value set to a minus figure. Check on the main screen where the camera settings show...if the figure next to EV shows a negative value, you can adjust it by turning the wheel on the top right of the controller.

    You've got focus peaking turned on...you can turn it off in camera settings.

    iPad Air or iPhone 7 Plus to Fly?

    I don't have a 7 Plus to compare it with, but I use an iPad Air (1st Gen) with a P3P and a P4, and apart from screen visibility in sunshine, it's a great choice. I've also got an iPad Mini 2 cellular version, which I use if I want the Follow Me function or the ability to reset the Home Point...

    Advice required - what would have you done?

    Pushing down the left stick won't stop the motors in flight...it only stops them when the Phantom has stopped descending, i.e after it's landed.

    I need help! Why is my FPV video signal so bad?

    You might do better to ask the question on DroneRacingPilots. (You can find it at the bottom of this page).

    Auto landing at 65% battery?

    Not trying to be the drone police, but are you aware that your legal height limit is 400 ft ?
