Selling my DJI P3 Pro flown very little. Lots of extras. See on EBay here: DJI Phantom 3 Professional Drone Bundle with Travel Backpack | eBay.

My bad (I should have looked at my P3P). Indeed, the charging cable connector only has two robust flat prongs that insert into the battery. What threw me was the mention of 4 pins in the P3's battery compartment. So I looked at my P3P and its battery. Next to the battery's charging pins are...

The four smaller wires are most likely for monitoring each battery's voltage during charging in order to provide "balanced charging of each individual battery". They can be probably be ignored during your own project's use of the Phantom battery as a power source. Virtually all of today's...

My P3 Pro has been sitting on a shelf in its zippered protected case for the past two years or so. Today I decided to test and recharge to two flight packs on the controller's battery. The flight packs each took about an hour to fully charge, starting out with just one blinking green LED, but...

Most excellent explanation, Sam!

I've been using an iPad Air 2, w/12.4.1 , no problems with Litchi and DJI Go.

I solved the problem with a DIY approach using the natural 5 sides of a 24 can Dr. Pepper cardboard cartoon. It is the perfect inside dimensions for my iPad Air II which I use for my flight monitor and very light weight. I also turn the display screen to full brightness and disable auto...

Yes, Litchi is fun and a great app. I've been around Apples since the Apple II days (programmed them) and had to follow their evolution since my mother stayed with them up through the Mac mini 2.0. The Mac OS is VERY good and easy to get "inside", but the iOS I'm far less familiar with, but...

I would have NEVER guessed that iTunes evolved to be a general file manager or sorts beyond music files. I last used iTunes over 10 years ago when I briefly had an iPod. I've really had no reason to use it since then even though a 2017 copy was on my Win10 computer but did not function until I...

Any help and insight to this will be much appreciated. I'm no stranger to computers running DOS, Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X, Linux, etc., and use an iPad Air II running iOS 12.3.1 with Litchi and my P3P. I am not that familiar with the iOS operating systems. I see in forum posts where people...

Thanks for your information. I also fly a P3P with Litchi although I use an iPad Air II with no internet connection. I would just add that normally one would start the controller (as you indicate in step 4) but next you should start the drone and let them begin their "handshaking and warm-up"...

Good clarification.

I just learned that here in Colorado, Federally managed water reservoirs do not allow drones to take off or land within there property boundaries but do allow drones to fly over them. State and local parks pretty much follow the same rationale, exceptions include parks than contain model flying...

Back decades and decades ago, the RC transmitter/receivers were FM not spread-spectrum like today's and were pretty much line-of-sight capable between the pilot and aircraft. From the beginnings of RC and control-line aircraft it was a long established and common-sense thing to fly at...

I've had issues with my Litchi Waypoint missions failing to load but I only get a written screen message and not the voice of the "nice lady". The Litchi manual states the 3D distance between consecutive waypoints must be between .5 meters and 2000 meters. See attached. Today, in flight...
