    Phantom 3 Pro Gimbal Shake...

    I also have the same problem with my Advanced. I've done more ICU and Gimbal calibrations than I can remember, so has anyone found a solution?

    Any p3a issues after 1.9.6 update ?

    Thanks tcope, I didn't know there was an option to simply disable it. Has that always been there?

    Help with UK and CAA regulations - Police caution

    That's what I thought too, but apparently that's a common misconception according to the officer. Remember it states: "Flight is prohibited over or within 150 metres of any congested area. The Air Navigation Order defines a congested area as being any area of a city, town or settlement which is...

    Help with UK and CAA regulations - Police caution

    I'm fairly new to this hobby, but have already been on the receiving end of the law regarding their use. Around a week ago, I was flying over an area of large parkland in my city which included a lake at it's centre. It is surrounded by houses, but from the location I was flying they were a good...

    Any p3a issues after 1.9.6 update ?

    I put 1.9.6 onto my P3A yesterday and it refuses to fly in the 2 areas I used to go to because they are now restricted. Frustratingly, my house and the parkland at the back of my home (2 football pitches, plus a separate rugby pitch AND cricket ground) are all in a red restricted zone in the...

    From P3S to P3A any tips?

    I took my week old P3 4K back and swapped it for a P3 Advanced yesterday. The P3s/4K range is a joke. To answer your questions (in my opinion): 1) No, but firmware updates have to be installed from the SD Card on the Adv/Pro. 2) Yes (plus all battery packs) 3) People do this to protect the...

    What Tablet Do You Recommend?

    Can't recommend that tablet enough, and it's so cheap these days. I bought one especially for use with my P3.

    4K range very short (FPV and control) - Ideas?

    Thanks. I've only seen antenna mods for the standard version so far that are effective. I would like more FPV range though, and was thinking taking the P3 4K back and paying the difference for the Advanced. I don't see any threads with serious range issues on the light bridge equipped ones...

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    Your one does the same as mine then. Video feed goes first (expected), but then despite having a near full control signal it is suddenly lost and the drone flies back. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worthwhile spending the extra for a Lightbridge one...

    4K range very short (FPV and control) - Ideas?

    Thanks jeganx for the controller diagram. I didn't find an instruction booklet outside of the quick-start in my box so missed this very important piece of information. I've done some further flights this evening in my first location. It's a densely populated area, and a quick check with the...

    4K range very short (FPV and control) - Ideas?

    Defiantly off according to the app. ;-) Well, I have a signal booster attached (This one). Antenna's are forced kinda upright, but not fully up as it shows in one of the last pics on that link as my Nexus tablet is large and gets in the way. I read somewhere that they should be pointing...

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    So the drone is using 27db from factory then regardless, or does a European one default back to a lower power mode unless you mod it?

    Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

    I tried setting it to both, and then just controller as is recommended - it seemed the same. I couldn't get the software to work correctly when I chose channel 13 for some reason - It said there was an error connecting (perhaps it's because my WIFI card won't/can't use 13 in this country). I'm...

    4K video editing - Needs a super computer???

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I've looked at Premier Pro and I don't mind purchasing it if it's good/reasonably easy to use. I've also thought about just recording in 1080P at a higher FPS instead? I'm going to run out of space really fast with the raw footage file sizes!

    4K range very short (FPV and control) - Ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. The drone is only 4 days old and never been crashed or dropped. The signal loss is sudden for the control, as it's full then all of a sudden nothing. The WIFI link to the video feed drops steadily. Perhaps I should allow up to 27 for the transmit power and see if it helps...
