Seems the flight record would be more useful in a crash as it shows stick position, elevation, speed, etc.

Using a Shield K1 and learned how to screen record. Question is why is this a big deal when you have the flight records within the Go App. One of the advantages I found when researching tablets was that the Shield had the ability to screen record. Don't see why that is an advantage.

Rip off all the white feet and put on a small strip of silicon adhesive on each piece. Skid free again.

On the way back home I stopped and opened the Go app on the shield and got a blank map screen as expected. I tethered the Shield to my cell phone and the sat map populated on the App. Didn't try the compass calibration as I wanted to get home but I would bet it would have worked with the map...

I had a green 'ready to fly' with the Shield but was afraid to due to compass cal error. Since I had no map I could not tell where my home point was and I did not want the AC to fly back to Texas if it decided to RTH.

Since "That cache isn't going to somehow bounce over to your tablet from your phone." how do I get the cache to the tablet in a new area. Never have understood that.

The compass calibration never would take with the Shield, had a calibration error each time I attempted a calibration. When I hooked up my phone the calibration went thru fine first time. I also had a blank map page with the shield. Could that have something to do with this? Since my phone has a...

I went from Texas to Alabama. I hooked up my Shield, controller, and P3A. I tried to do a compass calibration several times but never would take. Exasperated, (since I bought the Shield for the P3A) I hooked up my Galaxy S6 phone, successfully calibrated the compass, and flew my mission. Why...

Thanks, makes sense. I have a lot of 100' tall trees here but flat terrain. So all of my flying is over 100' for safety.

SD card, thanks for the correction. I didn't notice if I had video feed at start of second flight or not. I have a lot of trees around here and just watch the bird lift off without watching the monitor. When I was at altitude I looked at a black screen. I now understand I can, and should, have...

No the card was never in the P3 for either flight. It was in the house the whole time mounted in the USB stick.

Can anyone explain what happened here? Took my P3A up this afternoon and videoed the local surroundings and took one photo. All seemed normal, nothing out of the ordinary as far as I could tell. Landed and sat a while without powering off battery (did stop motors). Went back up for another...

Please help a newby: If the ground elevation where I am at is 100 ft. and I set fail safe at 150 ft, will my RTH altitude be 50' or 150' ? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Hijack notice: I don't see the option to format the data card on my Go App (using android)

If you reset your home point while in flight, does the AC come back to that point and land or hover at the altitude and position you set the new home point? I'm thinking this is a stupid question but I wouldn't want the AC to return to the new home point (above ground level because I set the new...
