Hey guys, so I have an nvidia shield tablet k1 that only has WiFi and I've been trying to find a way to get internet access on it while connected to the phantoms wifi so I can use the magic leash feature of litchi. I thought I had it the other day by setting up my iPhone as a mobile hotspot via...

Here's a screenshot from healthy drones. I'll try and remember to get one next time I use it with the DJI go app.

I got a non DJI battery as a gift, which I feel would be poor form to return. So I've been playing with it. It looks like the banggood one with the inspire looking LED's. It has been great so far. Hover and flight times are on par and usually even slightly longer than my dji battery with...

Thanks Cruiser, your flights are what inspired me to try and push the p3s. And I couldnt help but notice your flight plan says Silver City. Would that be Silver City NM? I'm in NM myself. There's plenty of area in this state to push these little guys to their max.

Here is a link to the video of my 20,000 ft flight. Its long and boring but kinda fun if anyone is interested in it. Its just a screen recording from my nvidia tablet.

REX Technology & Solutions, LLC. DJI Yuneec Walkera Boosters I use this battery. Note that the barrel plug on it is the wrong size for the amps so either buy an adapter or do like I did and cut the end off the DC adapter that came with the amps and solder in place of the ones on the battery. Easy.

This makes me laugh. I'm a firefighter by trade and competitive lifter and crossfit trainer on my off time and my girlfriend loves to tease me about being the fittest nerd she knows.

Actually that is just the 2.4 GHz amp. If you have the standard or 4k phantom you need one of those for fpv signal and telemetry data and another 5.8 GHz amp for control signal. If you have the advanced or pro models which only use the 2.4 GHz frequency then you will only need 2 of those as you...

Yes, the battery isn't in the photo. It attaches to the Velcro as you guys assumed. Its a cheap 4800 dual lead lipo which I soldered the correct connectors for the amps. I originally had the amps attached with Velcro also but it mad the controller too fat in my hand and for some reason when the...

Update: tested to 20100 feet. Was starting to jump back and forth from weak video transmission and full signal near that point. Could of gone more for sure if there was more battery. This setup works very well.

Just thought I'd post my mostly completed controller for my p3s. I have an inspire 1 tablet mount installed for my nvidia shield tablet as well as the DBSmods antennae. With just that setup I have gone pretty easily to 10,800 feet in a uninhabited area. I'm not really a distance junky but...

I modded my remote for the inspire mount. Extremely sturdy and works perfect with my nvidia shield.

Ya, it is set to rth not hover. By the time I got signal back it had already come halfway back but it was just going really slow. Maybe if i held right stick forward during rth it would speed up. I had actually manually activated it just because video was getting choppy but as soon as I...

That's amazing! My p3s with DBS mod has got me out to 9500. At which point I lost signal as I was turning around to come home. I was concerned because it stayed disconnected for 11 minutes until I regained signal with it at about 3500 feet on its way back. The rth speed is so slow. I'm not sure...
