Does the P3 have WiFi?

rgarjr · Jun 14, 2015

I know some models you use WiFi, but how does it work with the P3?

Meta4 · Jun 14, 2015

It doesn't. The P3 uses Lightbridge for a much better flight experience.
No more dropping wifi.

Is it possible to "tune in" to the data transmitted by Lightbridge with a second Lightbridge receiver?

If it doesn't have wifi, what process is used to sync the flight data with the cloud in user center?

Your device is what syncs, not the P3.

That's the app in your tablet using the tablet's wifi .. not the Phantom.

So the flight logs are not uploaded anywhere on the internet?

They are uploaded somewhere on DJI's servers, but I don't think too many people outside of DJI know what happens beyond that. You can dump the flight data from settings menu (at least on the iOS app).

IMHO it would be nice if the P3 had Wifi to facilitate downloading of videos and photos directly to a PC rather than having to take out your uSD card or download from the bird to your tablet/phone.

If you sync them to the cloud within the app, then they are.

Yeah I knew they were and I can access them. I have an idea what it all has to do with, but it's only speculation that has to do with security. Some would understand, some just wouldn't care, and most would be furious. It's a subject that is probably better off left alone at this point.
