    What could cause a P4P to overfly the RTH point?

    This is indeed very helpful info, I did not know about the 0% vs 2.99V = really empty! Panic does set in and can cause rash decisions. I have a fight with a friend's P3 Pro recently. He's asked me to sort a bad tilted horizon issue. Having set the pot straight again, it had to go for a test fly...

    Want to upgrade iPad, will back-up retain older version of Go?

    Well I fired up the bird today to take some pictures and video of a new construction site near my home. I was pleasantly surprised that I was not asked to sign in to DJI. The Go version on the new(er) iPad is 2.6.0. The display is still a bit on the dim side though, far dimmer than my old...

    Want to upgrade iPad, will back-up retain older version of Go?

    I had a feeling this was the case. Unfortunatley this post came one day too late- I just erased the old iPad yesterday!! I had previously seen a different work-around elsewhere on this forum. > HERE < It looks like a long and complicated process but probably worth the effort to get to the...

    This is why we can't have nice things - Drone nearly hits passenger plane landing in New Zealand

    Unfortunately governments are only really interested in being seen (by the masses) to do the right thing. Of course laws won't stop the idiots, in fact they might even make the idiots more careful to cover their tracks.

    Fished out my P3 from the flood. Need some advice.

    Loving this thread @mcphipps , you are a man after my own heart. I love rescuing things from the brink of becoming landfill fodder. Happily my own P3A hasn't suffered anything like this but I have helped a couple of friends get theirs back in the air. Have you found the cooling fan yet? I hate...

    This is why we can't have nice things - Drone nearly hits passenger plane landing in New Zealand

    You beat me to it @Techguy56 . There were numerous reports a couple of years ago here in Portugal of passenger jets apparently being "buzzed" by drones, one was alleged to have taken place at over 2000 ft altitude (thus ruling out any ordinary drone) and soon afterwards legislation was rushed...

    Drone pilot shoots neighbor.

    I agree. And more importantly people should be educated on the correct use of guns!

    Want to upgrade iPad, will back-up retain older version of Go?

    Hi guys. Well here are the answers. You had me sh*tting myself having possibly paid a bit too much for the Mini3, but it's a 64GB cellular one so better than the older one. Happily the display is noticeably brighter than the 2's; if the 4's is brighter still it might be worth considering in the...

    Want to upgrade iPad, will back-up retain older version of Go?

    I have a dedicated iPad Mini2 running an older version of DJI Go and it's nagging me to update. I have resisted for almost 2 years as it works just fine and I've read too many horror stories on here about things going tits up after updating 'Go'. But the Mini2's display is a bit dim for outdoors...

    Great photo @wheniwake can't wait to see more - maybe a wee bit of video too? I left the cold place in 2005 so have never seen them 'in the flesh' but they make many an appearance on a FB group 'Scotland From the Roadside. First I've seen them from this angle though! Thx for sharing with us &...

    Lost P3A

    Am I missing something here? What concerns/puzzles me about this thread is that the OP doesn't appear to have made any effort to find the lost drone. Most fly-away threads appeal for help in locating the AWOL craft with many having a happy ending. This just seems to be a rant against DJI and how...

    Witch tab ?

    By amazing coincidence I have used bot the devices you have; iPad mini2 and a Samsung Tab S2 and, apart from slight video lag on the Tab I never had any problem with either. But the display on the iPad was too dim hence the Tab. BUT the Tab died on me (happily NOT while flying) so I've bought an...

    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    Not amused. I've been using a Samsung Tab S2 exclusively for my P3A and apart from the 0.5s lag it's been fine - nice clear, bright screen no crashes (of either type) it did the job nicely. UNTIL last week and I discover it's dead. Fully charged but not a peep from it. Managed to get the back...

    Dear DJI, please fix the tilted horizon issue

    Old thread I know but YES! 4lex 's trick worked a treat on a neighbour's P3P. Thank you both for (a) starting the thread and (b) solving it.

    Crashed my drone already

    This thread reminds me of when I had a TV & video repair shop. So often I had to tell customers "RTFM". @New flyer Josh , perhaps it would be an idea to acquaint yourself with the instructions before attempting to fly again. I don't mean to sound judgemental, but from your replies it sounds...
