I am using several iPads with Phantom 3's and 4's and the overheat issue is driving me crazy. Live in south Florida. By the second battery, it is glitching horribly. Now using a second screen attached to HDMI out and flying off that screen once it starts glitching. Very frustrating.

Hey Everyone- I have two P3P and a P4 that I am using with iPads (mini and full size). iPads are only one generation old. All software is up to date. We are having trouble with the video through the app is glitching and stuttering, but the video coming through the HDMI Out port, to a...

I have used it on some search & rescue missions. Not bad, definitely needs some work. I think it's still in beta

My guess is that he grabbed the horizontal part of the leg and not the vertical portion. I always hand catch, but understand the danger if it. Always wear eye protection!!!

I will have to check the individual battery life statuses. I work for a law enforcement agency, so we keep everything mission ready at 100%. We have six batteries, so everything gets rotated pretty good. I am careful not to hot charge unless I have to. I have a bracket in front of my AC vent...

Hey Everyone- I have a Phantom 4 and have logged 260 flights, 54 hours of flight time, and 1.5 million feet (284 miles). This doesn't include numerous flights with GSPro. Knocking on wood as I say this, I haven't had a single issue. I still have the original props on it. Is there anything I...

I have had this twice. Brand new birds with dead batteries.

Not sure if I am just missing it, but: 1. Is there a flight log other than the saved mission? 2. Is there any camera controls for "on the fly" recording, without having to go into each individual waypoint setting? Thanks-

P3a is the only way to go at this point. Lot a drone for the money. I feel like DJI has written off the P2 series. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

45 and counting.

I consider myself experienced and do use prop guards. I have younger children that get a little anxious when I am flying and I like the added safety. They are not fool proof, they have their problems, and they are not for everyone. But, they make me feel better and add "some" safety. As for...

If DJI is like every other tech company in the world, the Phantom 3 should be out in the next 30 days. I would hold off for that and but a combo.

I got my Phantom as a Christmas present. Two years before I had received a heli and broke it really bad within a few minutes. I was so scared, it sat on the counter for 4 days before I got the guts up to let'r rip. After I ran the first battery out, I handed the control to my 10 and 14 year...

Re: First UAV Near Miss with Ag Aircraft Reported in Pacific First, I know nothing of crop dusting so the answer to my questions below may be simplistic. But... This is a big mess. Since the 80's, the FAA has been advocating that hobby radio control fliers can fly under 400 feet in...
