    DJI announcement Oct 11?

    I'll take a shot in the dark and say it is a removable camera that can be mounted on a drone or a stabilizer stick.

    Another idiot screwing it up for everybody

    These subhuman idiots need to be sentenced to death by firing squad. Its only a matter of time before the freedom-hating politicians use this as an excuse to eliminate our hobby. Drone near-miss at SFO points to emerging danger for airports

    Charging using my truck's 110v outlet

    I am just wondering if anyone with a vehicle that has a 110v outlet has tried charging their phantom batteries with it? Any problems? I have an outlet that I believe can handle 150 watts, and I think the charger pulls about 90 watts. What about sine issues? If I am still using the dji charger...

    Colder Weather = more deviations in batt cell?

    This is the coldest Weather I've flown in so far, but still temps were in the 40 to 50f range and I am seeing one cell in each of my 3 batteries logging anywhere from 1 to 4 deviations per flight. Is this normal when temps get colder? It is still within acceptable limits according to...

    Storing batteries

    I'd let it auto-discharge. It will go down to about 60% and that should be fine. Lipos don't like to be fully charged for a long time. I've got mine set to discharge after 2 days of non-use. Just don't keep hitting the status button or the internal timer resets again. Sent from my...

    P3A Compass Issue

    What kind of surface did you take off from? Did you recently do a compass calibration with metal items on your wrist or in your pocket? Were you near concrete or granite? Mine went crazy after taking off from a granite rock and I immediately flipped to atti mode and brought it home. Sent from...

    P3 Firmware New release v1.10.90

    I did a ground run with the new FW and the only change I noticed is the C2 button setting. I originally had it set for front LED lights but the FW changed it to camera settings. You might want to just recheck all your settings. I haven't flown it yet.

    Want to fly P3A using VR & Samsung tablet (OR a Note 5)

    Is this even possible without doing some modification? I see this guy on youtube named "NeverMindYourOwn" and he is flying a P4 using goggles with a Samsung tablet and I'm wondering if he is using both the regular USB and microUSB ports in the back of the remote? I can't really tell because he...

    Yes, this might be the cause of your signal loss!!

    You beat me to it. I was just thinking of temperature inversions. You can see it on weather radar early in the morning and early evening, especially when there is no wind. Lots of false returns around the radar site. Ever see someone burning trash in the back yard and the smoke only goes up...

    P3 Firmware Anyone upgrade to RC firmware 1.8.0 yet?

    Just thought I'd give some feedback on the latest RC firmware and GO app. It worked fine on my P3A and Galaxy Tab E tablet today. No issues with range. There was some glitches in the video feed, but only a couple of times during the flight. No big deal. I would suggest to others to go ahead with...

    Reinforcement Plates

    I use the prop guard mounts as a "plate". Seems to be working well so far. Even though I hardly ever use the prop guards, I still leave the guard mounts on there.

    Props "breaking"? -Disturbuing Periscope Stream of P3A Crash

    So I was watching this guy who often livestreams his P3A flights on Periscope named Dennis Wagner (if you're in here, maybe you could elaborate what happened), but during one of his flights yesterday evening, he suddenly lost control and crashed his drone in a major intersection somewhere in...
