    Another P3 dropped from the sky

    Another one "without" cause!! I had exactly the same, 100% freshly charged battery, <2 minutes in the air, and suddenly everything dead. Still not 100% sure about the cause (probably battery), but never got an warning on my iphone, still in the healtydrones logs i can see clearly voltage under...

    Devastated, flight number 124, Phantom 3 at the bottom of the ocean

    Sorry, after checking again, the compass error is probably during the crash. But just check anyway on earlier flights.

    Devastated, flight number 124, Phantom 3 at the bottom of the ocean

    Wow, sad, i feel with you. Had a crash some weeks ago, but my battery died, went from 4.2 v tot 2.9 in just some 60 seconds, plane went down at the border of the "Schelde", you know ;-) In my cas, everything stopped at the same moment, video, motors, drop down. I had the luck to be able to take...

    What to do with this battery? After a crash :-(

    Update, As i have no clue what happened, why on earth 100-98% on the display, while the voltage drops below 3V!!!, and the fact that i still get critical errors on that battery, checked with healthydrones, i decided to retire that battery, buy a new one, and enjoy flying again. If i can revive...

    What to do with this battery? After a crash :-(

    I did this (1 time down to 8%), but still get critical errors in healthydrones analyses. no problem on dji go app. (but that was also not the case during the crash)

    What to do with this battery? After a crash :-(

    Yes, it seems that way, but i never knew that it was so low, for me it was fully charged, bird gave me ready to fly GPS,(after warming up IMU), and battery was 100% on screen. no sign whatever, not on screen, not in the lights, nothing. So strange. And in the log you can even see the battery...

    What to do with this battery? After a crash :-(

    Battery is like new. Was fully charged night before. Also, no errors during take of or this short flight. And the voltage was only so low on that 1 flight. My later flights all gave "normal" readouts, but still with critical errors. I am also puzzled.

    What to do with this battery? After a crash :-(

    I bought a P3A second hand, with 2 good batterys (i thought) After some flights, i had a major crash, drone just lost all power. Props and gimbal broken. Gimbal is repaired, i have a 3D printer, and could print the broken gimbal arms, and of course a new cable. I don't have a receipt, so...

    Boosting tx power inside controller

    Would be a solution, but it would also mean, that you have no choise to fly without booster (if flying with friends)

    New flyer looking for some help increasing range

    Do you have an iphone? Then i would suggest use the FPV booster app, it helped me a lot. My antenna's are practicly level, at a long distance even 150mtr is low. And the "wand" function in extremely helpful to aim. Also, the booster function helps so you are sure, the transmitter always is at it...

    New flyer looking for some help increasing range

    Can be both, or can be a "congested" area, i do not get this 2.6km range everywhere, and i use pfv booster v3, and aiming is critical (really!) I use the wifi wand to point exactly at the bird. And, my height is 150mtrs, lower is worse range. (higher is unacceptable for me due to safety)

    Boosting tx power inside controller

    Yes, 5.8 controller i have.. So you say, that the 2.4ghz version has a better range? Means i must look into "upgrading" the V2+ to 5.8 fpv (fatshark) and 2.4 controller (plain dji)

    Boosting tx power inside controller

    I read somewhere, that there is a way to boost the voltage somewhere on or in the tx module (like 5.6v instead of the 5v). As i got a spare module, i am willing to give this a try. Somenone can help? Thanks

    New flyer looking for some help increasing range

    Did 2.6km with stage 3 yesterday ;-) It's all about good antenna's Read somewhere, if you want to do range extending with tx power, for double range, you need quadruple power....(but i do not know if the RE700 has more power that it's precedor) Maybey just try (fase 2) it on your extender, it...
