Thank you so much, vgo195!

Hi all, I use fixed-wing UAS that uses a very good flight planning software but only works for that specific aircraft brand and model. Most importantly, it enables me to fly "AED", above elevation data. For this to work KMLs are uploaded to the software and the flight plan for each quadrant can...

Hi there, I really liked your tutorial. What is the link to sign up to your channel? Geoff Hi there

Also, is it possible to use iPad mini instead of iPhone (for iOS version of course)?

Hi there P3ers.. Pix4d has released the beta version for the capture app, but I understand it's for android only. I guess the iOS version will come out soon... Any one knows if for the P3 a wifi range extender will be required to communicate between capture app and phantom, or has Pix4d figured...

Thanks guys! I will try tomorrow and let you know. May be a little more complicated because I deleted the FW file from SD card and tried to redo the whole procedure: download FW from DJI site>extract and copy only the .bin to micro SD (root directory)>update phantom (second try and nothing...

My hope is that the Phantom + controller already had the latest FW. I got it 2 weeks ago but no way of knowing what FW version was on it. Reason I tried to update is that one day I got a signal lost warning for a few seconds and then "update firmware". But as said I managed to get the P3 updated...

Regarding FW updates, I managed to update my Phantom with the latest version, but wasn't able to update the controller. Probably also due to clumsiness (and a screaming toddler). I wonder if once the next update is out, I'll be able to correct and put phantom, controller and batteries all on the...

Yes, video screen was black. I kind of remember (but not 100% sure) that besides the red bar on top the screen ("Lost signal") the other parameter indicators off the app (for battery status, gps, etc) were saying: N/A. With hindsight, it might have been a result of me inadvertently powering off...

I think what happened is that I lost video signal, then due to stress and inexperience I hit the power. Button instead of the RTH button and then waited, haha. There was no beeping sound of course.. So in these conditions of moronic flying the P3 would still be forgiving enough to RTH once...

Ok! That must be it. Good to know it wasn't a glitch. Thanks PhantomAtAK

Thanks for the advice NickCopter. I did hit RTH but as there was no signal between copter and controller, nothing happened.

Hi all, I'm new to the P3 (pro) so would appreciate some insight. I lost signal of my P3 the other day while flying low above a river. While knowing why I lost signal, I'm trying to figure out why it did not RTH. I waited 5 min for the craft to come back then ran along the river's edge until I...
