    Whats your Range on your P3P ?

    I just checked around and it's the IOS 9 you are referring to. I'm still on 8.4.1 so there must be another reason for the sudden blackout.

    Triple your P3P range with an aluminum range booster!!!!

    Is it really made of aluminum or aluminum lined plastic? That's great that you triple your range even though the claim is 50-100% and mine only gave me 50%, but to 1800m (~6000 ft) It must be other factors also as your 6000 ft is only what the P3 is supposed to do straight out of the box.

    Whats your Range on your P3P ?

    I'm using an iPad 2 also. So you're saying we cannot use the 1.4 FW until they fix it? I'm not using GS anyway so it wouldn't matter I guess. Thanks for the heads up.

    Whats your Range on your P3P ?

    At 120m up and supposedly clear line of sight, would house and trees be a factor? I've only flown from in front of my house which faces a large church parking lot and never got more than 1000m before getting RC signal loss and as high as 1,4km with the plastic antenna booster. Today I tried from...

    HOW TO: Setup and use Waypoints

    Thanks for this great tutorial and others related to GC. Just wondering what the logic is behind having to be airborne before getting access to these features. Wouldn't it be much better if one could plan and set up the waypoints, poi etc, on the app without having the quad sitting idle in the...

    HOW TO: Setup and use Point of Interest (POI)

    A big thank you for this and other GC tutorial. Been searching the web for Youtube tutorial or any writeup on the new features without much success and why on earth doesn't DJI provide a user manual. Without knowing the features are only accessible while in flight I would never have figured it...

    A Successful Calibration does not always mean a Good Calibration

    I really think you should try taking off like everyone is saying if only to confirm for yourself if it will resolve your issue. I used to fly electric helis and recall having major issues just taking off during the first half dozen outings without much success in even getting it into a hover. I...

    Dominator V2 with HDMI Module

    Thanks Harry. It appears that there is a work around using a HDMI2VA module at under $10 but that option requires a cheap portable USB power supply as well as more cables to go from RCA to micro HDMI to the goggles. This option while workable seems like too much auxiliary gear to manage so for...

    Dominator V2 with HDMI Module

    Thanks for the confirmation. I just ran across a post on here saying that the goggle (Dom V2) were returned defective because of the dreaded "white screen" which is what I get with incompatible video resolution. I guess they are misinformed. bummer spending $325 for nothing. Threw the box out...

    Dominator V2 with HDMI Module

    I bought the FS Dominator V2 about 2 month ago anticipating the HDMI upgrade from DJI. I just received the HDMI upgrade and was shock that it did not work. I was thinking it could be a number of reasons such as defective HDMI cable I just got yesterday from B&H, or HDMI module or FS HDMI input...

    More channels hack

    I just upgraded to latest FW and DJI Go as well as the config file hack and took my P3A out for a spin today and had it on auto and for the first time ever, I'm experiencing video glitches. happens quite often and everytime I took a photo. Will try on custom setting later but I thought at worst...

    How many people actually balance their props?

    Why never on your phantoms? Is it because you checked several time and never found them out of balance. As for the rod, I just roll mine on a glass surface to confirm that they are true and that's it. Can't think of anything else that I should be concerned with.

    chinese knockoff phantom hardcase

    Looks like a great case if you're looking for a hard case. Can't get over the idea of a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese product though. That's funny.

    Phantom 3 severe crash while performing auto take off

    Nothing wrong with not using auto take take off but rather than avoiding it based on one mishap, perhaps you should try to figure out why it did something t wasn't supposed to do. I've used both manual and auto take off and landing randomly without issue and have almost always relied on out...
