Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind (more that moderate breeze, ie >36km/h), snow, rain and smog.

So, we shouldn't fly anywhere near LA, Gary or Chicago?

Maybe that should read FOG instead of SMOG?

Both are bad for flying.

Can anyone confirm that the No Signal & Low Battery “flaws” issues are solved when using some of the Intelligent Navigation mode ?

Hey guys! Newbie here! Just got a 3 4k, and the outlet to put the usb cord is the micro outlet. The same as the phone. Can someone help me??? I wanna fly!!! Thanks!

There is two slots a large usb and mini one use the large usb to connect to your screen or phone, as if you are charging just think of controller as the plug, the mini one for uploading firmware so I only use large usb to iPad mini hope this help have a good flight

I dunno why but my controller for the 3 4k, has only a mini port and not the rectangular usb port

V. Mar-15-2016 is now available.

Updated the "Power Up" & "Tips for Flying and Shooting" section.
Took out the "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
because it's no longer an issue with the latest DJI Firmware Updates.

P.S. Flying season is almost here for me so stay tune for more updates to THE guide.

P.P.S. In case you are wondering (I'm sure you are not

), I'm not getting a P4.
I'm very satisfied with my P3P. The P4 is way too expensive for what it
brings extra over the P3P. But hey, that's my personal opinion.

Very good work. You put a lot of effort in the organization of the manual.
It will be a constant work in progress as new stuff comes up.
Thank you for the work you have done.
