Upgraded to 3.06 from 3.04. It is a hardware solution that taps into NAZA/controls. Calibration done on proprietary inline circuit board so it is...
AMA may be the closest thing to a lobbying group for us.

If anyone else, I would think the entertainment film industry would want some compromise if liability was addressed. They have the resources. Too many bozos out there thinking I can do whatever I want and I...
Dirty Bird,
I've never tried RTH with a reset above ~15'. If the manual home reset is done at 100', what you're saying the the homepoint is now 100' high, the phantom will ascend/descend to ~160' altitude, RTH and hover. Then, it should know ALG is 100' below the new home point and auto land...
Re: So I might believe in flyaways more now
Unfortunately, if you lose GPS lock, home lock/RTH won't work. Hopefully, you still have control, but no FPV and GPS-lock, can fly back in ATTI mode based on last position and heading. Hopefully, FPV returns when it gets closer and you have more...

Short of saying... RTFM. Understand the FPV app and settings... and get a better understanding of the industry...
Everyone needs to understand there is a % of DoA/defects and DJI customer service could be improved, but some of the expectations are unrealistic. Been fortunate with my p2v...
If you do not have electronics or soldering experience, I do not recommend disassembling and soldering anything. Burn a close adjacent wire, cold solder(bad soldering), etc could make it worse than what you perceive is bad from DJI. There seems to be paranoia about the build quality due to...
Think what you're doing is a noble effort, but perhaps keeping it to "Quick Tips" or FAQs would be better as a STICKY at the top of the page. If people are new to RCs or don't know anything about copters, wouldn't you think RTM would be prudent. I've been away from RCs for about 20 years, but...
I can see paying $60-$75ish for it based on a reasonable profit to recoup R&D. Over $100 and I'd really need to think about it, but in the end, it's what the market will bear.
It's not a simple 3-wire Naza X2 tap with diodes. Since the DJI Utilities/Apps is useless, the signaling must be...
This is what I did for a legal size airline carry-on option.

Not perfect, but the lesser of many evils. Interisland commuter flights are a little more strict in Hawaii, although I've seen occasions when they've allowed hugely...
To stay closer OT...
I use these for night flying.

This version has a controller to change pattern, brightness, & duration. Usually, I leave it on a slow pulsing("breathe") pattern. Makes it a lot easier to fly LOS. Small and "big" kids...
Finished for now. Will probably add AA charger slot, prop guards, or other use later.
I left the battery out of the quad to reduce mass so it should reduce movement when the case is jarred. The top cover foam holds the unit in place pretty securely. Used mini zip-lock bags to cover the...
Got the case in and found out the advertised size is incorrect. It is the "carton" box size. The case is actually 22x14x9. It is tight, but will meet my airline carry-on needs and light local transports. The quad barely clears with 1/16" on the sides and <1/8" at the prop stud for height...
Working in TV back in the day and now IT, many things can affect RF. When I tell faculty about mesh reinforced glass and scattering effect on WiFi, they look at me funny... Without $$$ test equipment and inside knowledge, one can only speculate about the fly-aways. We're just doing a "SWAG"...
I hear you and generally agree. I didn't want to go into a lot of detail about "moisture proofing" electronics and connectors, but incidental moisture is survivable. I still wouldn't recommend flying in light rain unless people accept "disposable" equipment and parts as the norm. More...
Something interesting...
Not saying I would fly in the rain, but I have modded both my p2v and p2v+ with a micro Deans power connector for my LED prop lights for night flying. If anyone took apart their unit, you would see the ESC circuit boards are coated with what appears to be some type of...
