    Just wants to go up and away

    I guess I wasn't real clear, it kept reving up faster even after I let go of the left stick (up). That's what it did while flying, like the stick was stuck, and when pulling it down, it was like it was fighting itself, more Iike it was holding altitude vs coming down. Hard to explain...

    Just wants to go up and away

    Lol. I agree with you. I haven't done anything if it was flying good. It sat for about 10 months at least since the last flight, other than cycling my batteries a bit. I was surprised it goofed up. I would fly more if I had a new one without the goofy fisheye lens, I just don't have time to...

    Just wants to go up and away

    I did most of that. Calibrated the bird and TX via the computer. The bird doesn't intiate RTH, I did to get it back. My batteries are good all the way around. All 3 scary flights now were on different batteries. Failsafe always heads it back home. First time, I though my up stick was...

    Just wants to go up and away

    I haven't used my drone in a bit, but the last 2 attempts, it seems it just wants to go up and leave me. I did the compass dance before each flight. I got it back down, the first time fighting with it and the second time by using failsafe. I brought it home, calibrated everything via the...

    Phantom 4 Pro (available in the DJI store)

    Found it in the RTH section/info: Based on its altitude at the time of disconnection, the Phantom 4 Pro is also able to adjust its flight path to avoid obstacles it has seen during its flight. At takeoff, the Phantom 4 Pro will record the scene below and compare its recording with what it sees...

    Phantom 4 Pro (available in the DJI store)

    Looks like, if I read things correct, it won't auto land in water either after return to home. I says it will go into a hover mode. That will save a few mishaps I'm sure.

    Increased distance

    Thanks. I'm happy with the distance on my P2 for the most part. The odd time I could use a bit more. Stock on a P3 is more than I will ever need. Especially if it is pushing 5 kms. I live in Saskatchewan Canada, flat as a pool table for the most part. Lol.

    Increased distance

    Thanks, that's what I was thinking.

    Increased distance

    Are you saying after market mods or the mods DJI made? They had them originally listed around 2km's (I think), now they say 5km, but I might be quoting the numbers wrong. I'm probably buying one in the spring to replace my P2, not worth buying now, snow and cold on the way here. Lol.

    Increased distance

    I have been looking around forums and can't find a discussion on this. I see they are advertising a greater distance on the P3's, did they change anything or just the advertising? Just wondering.

    Possible drone left on the White House lawn

    Saw this on Twitter.... On another note, people have shot at the White House and they still let people have guns.

    New DJI Vision features (version 1.0.46 for iPhone)

    I got everything updated this morning with not really any trouble. I saw somewhere that a person mentioned that they seem to get a better, faster GPS lock for some reason. I turned everything on in my kitchen where I "might" get 5 or 6 sats, usually 4, after this camera upgrade, I locked on to...

    cracked plastic

    I have a hot glue gun also, I thought of that; but after seeing how it has held the cover of my shingle gun, that was in 2 pieces and hardens like steel and is still holding, I thought it might be the best to use. Also, being in a small town with no stores, and JB in the tool box, I was a no...

    cracked plastic

    I found a small crack in mine also. I used an epoxy product called JB Weld. I broke a cover right off on my shingle air gun and put it back together with this stuff and it's still holding. It takes a day to set up proper, but then it is tough stuff.

    New DJI Vision features (version 1.0.46 for iPhone)

    Re: New DJI Vision features (version 1.0.46) I have been looking for more of an explanation on this also.....can anyone explain this and what the benefit is?
