    P3 Firmware Anyone upgrade to RC firmware 1.8.0 yet?

    I suggest anyone using an Android devise DO NOT do the 1.8 controller update. After doing so the video on my device is full of garble, horrible and unusable. Have been told that DJI is aware of this problem but with this Mavic craze going on it may be some time before we see this bug swatted...

    P3 Firmware RC updating

    you might want to take a look at the RCG P-3 pro thread as many are having huge video device problems when updating their RC units. I use an android device and after update to 1.8 my tablet[Samsung] video was horrible, in fact unusable.

    new drone from PowerVision, PowerEgg

    Just received update from power vision stating that production has just stated.. I then ask when they would begin shipping to those that pre-ordered and their reply was near end of December. Huh? Going now to cancel my order and wait to see when they in fact become available. This is why I...

    new drone from PowerVision, PowerEgg

    can't wait to see some owners flight reports. Want to know if it has a hard ceiling set at 400' or is ceiling unlimited. Those that get these first I wish you well as I await my DJI Mavic. Assuming these get good reviews for sure I will have one. donnie

    META-REVIEW: Complete list of Mavic features & what people are saying about it

    I am certain the aftermarket community is working O.T. to provide us with many add on products for her and with so many apparently ordered it should have a positive effect on the U.S. economy!

    My first creek flight, crash, and loss.

    Sorry as this is such an expensive loss. Here is a thought you might try assuming it is the water. If you know someone that has a swimming pool you could borrow their pole net and drag the bottom with it. Also Fuji make a waterproof camera good to 90' I think. If you don't know anyone with a...

    6 Months after Release.. What's the consensus around P4 VS P3?

    I agree with this as well. First thing I had to do with my P-4 was add an antenna upgrade at a cost of$300. donnie

    What is the coolest/neatest mod you've seen/bought/or heard of?

    removed shell to solder the Deans to control board. Also cut the charge connector and added Deans to it so I could use the OEM connector to bridge the 2 packs. This does add a lot of weight to model and this is reason flight time only increases 7.5 minutes. My next add on will be a gps tracking...

    "Wizard" Equivalent for Phantom 4?

    Which should totally eliminate this model from anyone's consideration. Myself I can not image anyone buying this model for that reason alone and this is only one of the limitations of the H. Enjoy, donnie

    P4 range and controller type

    my P3PRO uses Jakes boosted db002 setup and range limited by battery not rc range. As I like to experiments on my P4 I am using the FPVLR boosted unit. One simply can not go wrong with either of these units but the FPVLR conical antenna penetrates through trees and such a bit better. With the...

    DJI support issues..ridiculous response time and answers

    As stated so many times nothing is perfect but myself I have found DJI products to be far, and away preferable to any of the other rtf available. Me I fly just for fun and personnel camera work. No end to the discussion of those that disagree but currently these are the simple facts. DJI is...

    What is the coolest/neatest mod you've seen/bought/or heard of?

    my P3-pro has CF gimbal guard, zip ties on gimbal, body skin and 2" strips of Flyshine holographic strips surrounding shell seams, a female deans ultra soldered directly to main board allowing me to use two dji packs, Standalone flytron leds for night flights, and using an FPVLR boosted antenna...
