I bought it during the Amazon sale too. Uhh I didn't even know a max gb was a thing! Hopefully someone can chime in. I did film with the 128gb but obviously have not even gotten close to max capacity yet. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Could any one post how they've packed prop guards in the Drone Trekker? In addition to whatever normally comes with the P3 Advanced, I have 4 batteries, a PolarPro 3-filter set hardcase, and prop guards. Any help would be appreciated ! I'm able to fit everything in snugly except the prop guards...

Thanks for the heaps of useful information everyone ! Good to know that my flight times are on par with everyone else. Too bad Amazon Prime day doesn't have phantom batteries on sale... Safe to assume most of you have about 3-4 batteries in your arsenal?

Hi Shockwave ! interesting point you brought up. Looks like yesterday's wind gusts at 5-6PM were between 15-20 mph. Today's forecast shows 5-10mph. I'll go out today and confuct two similar flights on the 2 batteries and report back my findings !

As it's only my second round of flights, I'll keep a close eye on the flight times for the next few flights. Is there a need to do a "deep" recharge or something similar that I read about in the past? I'll keep flying this week to see if the battery usage changes.

Hi everyone ! I went out for my second set of flights today. I made sure to fly fully on one charge without landing and restarting etc. I noted that it was pretty dang windy today. I think this is what is affecting my flight time. Flight #1: Battery #1 - ~14min total flight time, landed at...

When you say it will land at the critical mark, this includes RTH right? If so, then there is no point in me turning the critical level to 30%. I'll revert to 10% and just mentally be mindful that at around 30% I should begin to think about turning towards home. Sent from my iPhone using...

Your second flight looks to be very similar to mine. I guess my flight times do seem normal then. You mentioned above that my series of short flights probably contributed to my shorter battery life versus say one long continuous flight on a fully charged battery. That makes sense ! Thanks !

Interesting! Ok i will try one full flight down to 30% and report back. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I've uploaded the flight logs. Flight #1-4 was using battery 1 and Flight #5-7 was using battery 2. Battery #1: started @ 94% (??). ~13m flight time landed @ 24% remaining battery. Flight #1 Flight #2 Flight #3 Flight #4 Battery #2: started @ 97%.12m 34s flight time landed @ 28% remaining...

It was really hot and sunny and there was a slight breeze. Now that I think of it, it was rather windy. Probably much more so at about 300-400 feet?

Hi everyone, I took my drone out for its maiden flight and thought that the 2 batteries seemed to deplete rather quickly. Here's a snapshot of some flight info I culled from the flight records. Does this seem normal? I didn't think I flew that fast (in terms of drone speed). I did take off /...

Hi everyone ! I recently purchased the Phantom 3 Advanced about a week ago. After reading through the DJI manual, watching countless youtube tutorials, stalking this forum, cruising the simulation, and scouring the internet for guides, I finally felt confident enough to take the Phantom out for...
