    height limit in 3rd party software?

    litchi says it can go up to 6km in height. Today I went up to 1100m, and got back at 53% battery, so I don't think you could get up there anyway!

    No signal prompt. Full bars

    Since this has happened to me some times in different flight environments, urban, suburban and rural, my guess is that it is a bug of the android app and/or RC firmware. So it's up to dji to fix this.

    Lost signal message without losing signal

    P3A, latest firmware and all, always calibrating etc. I flew in my summer house, 250m above the sea, open environment with the nearest village at 500m behind me. I use to fly straight to the sea, which is about 1100m straight ahead. The video feed is usually lost at around 1500, i.e. an extra...

    App crash in flight

    after 24 flights, I had my first android app crash! Not far away, 250m high and 100m far, but did not have a visual. Fortunately enough, having read similar accounts in this forum I did not panic at all. 20 seconds later it connected again. So, thx to you guys!

    Lost video and never regained it

    upon examining the flight photos, I did not find the 5 bracketing shots I took, there were only 2 of them. So I suppose it had to do something with writing to the memory card (I have both jpg and dng enabled, it must have slowed it down somehow). But pressing the video record key brought the...

    Lost video and never regained it

    today, I was less than 1km away with 4 bars of control and video signal and tried to use the photo bracketing option. It took 5 continuous shots and then I lost the video signal. I waited a few seconds and then I pressed RTH. GPS signal was full and as soon as it was visible I regained control...

    Can I use my Samsung S3 with the Phantom 3?

    I used my old S3 and was laggy, but ok. I upgraded though, mainly to increase screen real estate to 7"

    Android Tablets

    The screen resolution is on the low side, but really had no problem with that. It does not feel like low spec at all. It is no retina but it is quite bright and clear. No noticeable lags also. Very cheap-good performance, just a bit on the heavy side, but got used to it.

    Android Tablets

    I have used an old Samsung Galaxy IIIS, it worked OK with a bit of jerky low quality video, but then went and bought a Lenovo A7-10f for just 79€. I rooted the device and works like a charm

    Watch out for the birds !

    Two days ago, some swallow made a reconnaissance flight and just missed my P3, so I landed immediately. A week ago, in my country house where I repeatedly spotted hawks in the past, there was no air traffic at all while flying. Was really alarmed though!
