    Phone battery draining FAST while flying - why?

    Yes, mine has done it every flight and the coldest it's been while I flew was 40 degrees (so not that cold). I have been up in the mountains where it was closer to 0 degrees and yes, the iPhone will shut down when it gets too cold, but that is not the issue (at least with mine). I have not...

    Phone battery draining FAST while flying - why?

    I have not tried airplane mode yet, but did reboot my phone after my last flight (today) so I will see if that makes a difference. I also deleted and reinstalled the DJI Vision app, so I'll give that a try but may not be able to get out flying again for a couple of days due to rain. I'll post...

    Phone battery draining FAST while flying - why?

    Just flew again, and before I did, I deleted a bunch of apps on my iPhone that I don't use, checked that all apps were up to date and closed most everything running (although I forgot to do it right before I took off). The Phantom Vision battery was not even fully charged (maybe 92%), but...

    Phone battery draining FAST while flying - why?

    Thanks for the quick reply guys. I don't have a issue with the phone battery on a day-to-day basis, so I believe my issue is related to the DJI Vision app not playing nice with some other app on my phone. I will trying killing all running apps before I fly next time and see if that makes a...

    Phone battery draining FAST while flying - why?

    Is anyone else having an issue where their phone's battery (I am using an iPhone 5) is quickly drained while running DJI's Vision app? I CAN'T make it through 2 Vision flights without my iPhone's battery going dead (even from a full charge). My iPhone will normally last all day with normal...

    4 bleeps after initialisation

    This is normal and what I believe you are hearing are the ESC's - see the DJI tutorial video around the 1:30 mark: http://youtu.be/PosbWTHLfQQ -Jason

    B&H photo awesome customer service

    Re: B&H photo awesome customer service I too have purchased various gear from B&H and have had great customer service from them. Based on that and the feedback in this forum I plan to buy the vision form them before the free battery promotion ends.

    Do you guys use tracking devices or loud noise makers?

    I wonder if something like Tile (http://www.thetileapp.com)will work for tracking a phantom. It's not out until Spring, but the size and price is right.
