    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    I think it's helpful to keep the issues separate. There have been plenty of bad wifi modules reported by those who are not users of the app, and there just isn't any evidence of a higher malfunction rate for those using this booster app. The issue at hand that deserves a full explanation from...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    As a happy and enthusiastic user of the V+ Booster app, I am troubled by some of the comments here. If in fact the app was marketed to do things that it doesn't, that is not okay with me. However, I also think it's wise to withhold final judgment until all the facts are established. As others...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    +1 As far as I've been able to tell, we have just one unconfirmed rumor in a youtube video of a possible DJI solution. PVFlyer, it sounded like you were pretty close to finishing the work on channel 7 before this rumor popped up. Any chance for finishing ch 7, or is there just too much work...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Most folks probably won't mind as long as it's an across the board improvement, but if there is a way to click a button to return back to stock I think that would satisfy most everyone.

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    This is a good point. There was also a rumored data logger that was supposed to be released in the last firmware update but it didn't materialize. Without a confirmation from someone within DJI, a rumor isn't worth a whole lot. That being said, its hard to blame the developer for not wanting...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    If you always lose control signal before video signal, you are not a good candidate for the app unless you first extend your control range. This is not the developers fault, but rather your misunderstanding. The information describing how the app works is readily available prior to app purchase.

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Bob, Not sure if you were aware but the recorded video has nothing to do with the live video you are seeing on your mobile device...totally separate and unrelated. Also, the booster software is really easy to test. If you don't activate it each time you fly (i.e., each time your turn on the...

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    The battery pins are for the data/telemetry information. Even if they don't have a good connection, it will not bring your copter down. Power to the copter is accessed through the 2 larger size connectors and is not affected by the data pins.

    BATTERY ISSUES (Early Autoland)??? POST HERE

    Thanks for the update Zinware and for documenting your experience for the benefit of others. It's one thing to hear about these types of stories but seeing it visually the way you were able to capture it leaves one with an indelible impression of how things can go wrong in a hurry with these...

    Phantom 2 Catastrophic Failure after Firmware 3.06

    Interesting thought John regarding the potential for EMF in this environment and worth consideration. On the flip side, Kelly indicates that he has flown this location nearly 50 times without incident. Presuming he has approached similar equipment at similar distances, one would have to wonder...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: FPV Booster App DOUBLE FPV Range I like the idea of text descriptions as well (either at bottom as you mentioned or maybe when hovering over the individual item or something like that). If that's not possible, then maybe a link on main app page to a webpage with short manual/descriptions...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: FPV Booster App DOUBLE FPV Range The DJI app works fine on my Nexus 7 (2012) version. You just need to sideload the app using this link from within your nexus web browser http://m.dji.net/djivision but first be sure to enable unknown sources in android security settings.

    Phantom 2 Catastrophic Failure after Firmware 3.06

    Kelly, really sorry to hear of your crash. This does appear to be the classic type "flyaway", unlike many we hear of. I would definitely share this footage with DJI and hopefully they can learn something from it as well as step up and take care of you. On a side note, is the video slowed...

    Phantom 2 Catastrophic Failure after Firmware 3.06

    So what would you do if your otherwise well functioning battery suddenly showed symptoms of a bad cell, began auto land sequence, and stopped responding to your throttle command? Your thoughts regarding S1 reset works in many situations, but won't help if a defective battery can't handle the load.
