    Just arrived - hardshell backpack + extra batteries

    Yeah, the quad logo is definitely a bit hokey for my taste! Waiting for someone to come along with a nice liquid domed label to replace it. Looks pretty straightforward.

    Just arrived - hardshell backpack + extra batteries

    It's actually pretty snug. One gripe is the way the strap has to sit beneath the antennas on the FC. I could see forgetting to route it underneath and either cinching down on the antennas or forgetting to double check that the antennas are positioned to clear the top insert. Also, you can't...

    Just arrived - hardshell backpack + extra batteries

    Ordered 2 extra batteries and the hardshell backpack from DJI.com direct back on May 15th. Arrived via FedEx today. I know a bunch of folks are still waiting so here are a few pics to tide you over... Doesn't appear to be an easy way to fit an iPad Air--yet--but there are some small loops to...

    THERE IS NO IOS OR Android APP!

    Certainly. Moto X. Had just finished upgrading it to Android 4.4.4 this morning. The small screen isn't the greatest but it'll definitely work until the iOS app gets here. :) First flights went great. Pretty windy outside, but was able to easily get my bearings. Towards the end of the second...

    THERE IS NO IOS OR Android APP!

    After firing up the app, had to go through a brief 'activation' which also made me sign into DJI account and defaulted to beginner mode, which clearly I needed. After 5 minute flight battery is sitting at 75%. Will go up again shortly...

    THERE IS NO IOS OR Android APP!

    Just connected remote to the April 15 version and it seems to recognize the controller...had to enable USB debugging...also didn't realize there's a small fan in the remote which is audible. Will know soon enough...

    THERE IS NO IOS OR Android APP!

    Yeah, it sucks. Just took delivery of P3P here and don't know if I should try flying it or wait for the apps. Total noob here. What say ye?

    Any update on shipping ?

    Just received shipping confirmation here as well. Order #9x for P3P (before the extra battery combo had even gone up). DJI Direct. Going to be a fun week!
