    DJI android app, what's running in the background?

    GPS, screen on all the time and, most of all (I guess), video decoding which gets CPU and GPU at top speed... Cheers

    DJI android app, what's running in the background?

    Checked it and there's no sign of DJI or Litchi running in the background. I use an Asus Zenfone 2 and it comes packed with an App that allows me to set if an App may or may not autostart. I guess that may be the reason why DJI doesn't autostart and doesn't drain battery when I'm not flying...

    Field Charging - Car Battery Jumper vs Inverter vs USB power bank

    Sounds a good idea. I am looking forward to seeing the replies. So far I haven't recharged the batteries on my car, as I often have a wall outlet in the nearby. But I think the time will come not long from now.

    DJI android app, what's running in the background?

    I just force close it on settings>Apps and it doesn't start on its own. After running Litchi I also force close Litchi in order to save battery. By the way, I force close Facebook too :-)

    I'm wondering if I screwed up?

    You will do fine with P3S. I have tried some mobile options and almost all of them worked fine. Asus Zenfone 2 didn't work with DJI app, but it did great with Litchi App. And both DJI and Litchi ran pretty well on iPad 3, iPad mini 2, Nexus 5, Galaxy S5 and a galaxy S6 edge. I have heard a lot...

    P3S flyers, any regret not getting the P3A or P3P?

    I may enjoy it after getting goggles like fatshark. I like the idea, chiefly when on the farm. But with a mobile or a tablet is hard to see details on the screen if the sun is too bright (I live in Brazil and we have clear sky almost everyday). So for me it's pretty unusual to fly long...

    P3S flyers, any regret not getting the P3A or P3P?

    No regrets. I would hardly fly my bird out of sight and most long flights I do are done as Litchi missions. Smooth and somewhat safe: I follow the bird with my car and can get full control just flipping the switch to Pmode.

    Dropped video on DJI Go App

    I updated my firmware last Friday and video (and everything else) worked fine on Sunday (first flight after update). I flew with an iPad Mini 2 (got laggy video, but that´s normal because of high demand processing power that it can´t deliver) and an Asus Zenfone 2 (worked flawlessly). Both were...

    Broken Outer Antenna Stick in Controller in Phantom 3 Standard- HELP and GUIDE ME THRU

    Yes, IF the router is 5.8Ghz. But often wifi routers are 5.0Ghz, so it wouldn´t help your bird.

    DON'T buy Bangood.com DJI battery for Phantom 3

    And I also thank the guy who mentioned Vertical Studio. I didn´t know this App and I´m just gonna try it. It seems to be very good. Cheers

    DON'T buy Bangood.com DJI battery for Phantom 3

    I guess you won't regret moving to Litchi. Way better. Good luck.

    Idea to follow the evolution of a new neighborhood

    The idea I have is to shoot at least twice a year a new neighborhood in the city of Brasilia (Brazil) so in a few years from now we´ll be able to see how it has changed over time. Has anyone done such a project in this forum? Any tips, comments and suggestions, as well as criticisms, are...

    1080P Vs. 2.7K

    I only edit on PC as I think it's much better and offers advanced tools. I use Adobe Premiere, but I have also used (and enjoyed) Kdenlive (only under Linux), Lightworks (powerful and runs under Linux and Windows) and Davinci Resolve (really powerful but needs a very good computer). Kdenlive is...

    Beta firmware now available for Standard

    I am really affraid of updating a beta firmware... Is this GEO fence the one that the user sets for safety or the one that DJI sets to prevent drones from flying in areas such as airports, embassies, parliament and ao on? I live in a country capital and we are allowed to fly close to the...
