I'll be visiting Ghana next June for a couple of weeks and I'm planning to take my P3A with me. I'll only be using it in a very remote/rural area, nowhere near anything sensitive. Has anyone got any recent experience of local or national legal restrictions or requirements? Will it even be...

I think the point is that the shooter's not to know who's around, where they are, or where his unsuccessful shots are going to end up. Lots of people like to venture into the middle of nowhere.

I did as you suggested and it made a noticeable difference on my last flight. Thanks for that.

I have no other apps running but I do have the brightness at maximum because of glare (even though I use a hood for it too). I've done a complete cycle charge before but I'll do it again immediately before my next flight and see how things go. I am using iOS9.2.1. Cheers, LFS

I always charge it fully before heading out for a flight and it definitely shows that charging is taking place when it's plugged in to the controller. Your trickle explanation sounds plausible but 20 mins is a very short time to deplete 80% power on my Ipod. Thanks.

I'm sure I read that the controller will charge whatever device is being used as a screen while connected to it. When I first connect my Ipod Touch (G6) it shows it is being charged but after about 20 minutes of flying I get a low battery warning on it. Is this normal?

Thanks, I didn't know that's where the compass is. How do other folk attach their GPS to the Phantom, velcro on the top of the body?

I had a problem calibrating the compass at the weekend. I'd gone to a spot I'd flown at before but the app displayed a compass error and prompted me to recalibrate. I had umpteen goes at this, moving large distances between each attempt and eventually changed the battery as it had gone down to...

Could this be the P4 with obstacle avoidance, coming on March 1st?

Hi guys, I'm in Glasgow and, believe it or not, it's a beautiful sunny day! Cold and crisp, no wind - just as I like it.

Hi everyone, there's not a lot for me to say at the moment as I don't even have my Phantom yet. I ordered it today, a PA3 plus spare battery, and it should arrive tomorrow. Here's hoping for decent weather at the weekend! LFS
