    I had my first heart-stopping moment (and I made it through)

    Also,....if the craft has no GPS,....how does it know the GPS location of the remote if it has no radio signal to the remote?

    I had my first heart-stopping moment (and I made it through)

    My concern is that if you are walking down a trail, then your new home point could be anywhere if set to return to remote. Is this the last point the controller had a connection? I have always just used take off location as Home Point,.....and up to this point,....never had an issue. I have...

    I had my first heart-stopping moment (and I made it through)

    Before you set up the setting to return to controller,....take a moment to consider this issue. If you have lost signal with the craft,.....and the craft did not reconnect,...........how will the craft know where you are with the remote? I would leave the RTH set at your starting point. And...

    Do you get hounded by questions?

    I wouldn't waste a nickel taking that bet. I would be a sure loser. Agreed on ignoring him.

    Do you get hounded by questions?

    Well as soon as I can set my walker aside and figure out this contraption that has type writer keys on it with a TV attached,....I will give that young whipper snapper a piece of my mind. And his parents too as they raised a rude and obviously ignorant child. For now,....I will leave it at this...

    Thinking of upgrading to a new drone $700 budget

    I agree with John Locke. I have had both the P3S and the Mavic. The P3S had the better camera, but lacked range. The Mavic had decent (but still couldn't get the 3 advertised miles) range,....but camera clarity was lacking terribly. I sold the P3S in order to purchase the Mavic. Had the Mavic...

    Drop in price?

    I just read this. It does appear the P4P and P4P+ are still in production. But all others have stopped. DJI Phantom 4 productions ends - what's coming next? - The Digital Circuit

    Drop in price?

    Is everyone aware that all the Phantoms are no longer in production? There is stock out there. But either DJI is getting ready for the P5 or they are dropping the line for the newer/supposed better Mavik line. (And if the P5 is ready to be released,....why drop the P3 - P4 models?)

    Please explain - Litchi App

    Thank you everyone. I am starting to understand the idea of the process. It sounds like I should start and end the mission close to myself,...so the end of the mission is actually Home. Just concerned the way it signaled out the P3S as not returning home. And range is always a concern of mine...

    Please explain - Litchi App

    Thanks everyone. I do not think I want an app that does not return to home after a mission regardless of which mission I choose. I purchased this app for possible longer range as my itelite is lucky to get me 3/4 of a mile in range. I can see I will probably be purchasing a P4 with 4K or a P3P...

    Please explain - Litchi App

    Still learning and need to better understand some of these options. But I am reading this,.....and confused by exactly what it is telling me regarding the P3S. Signal Lost Behavior for Manual Flying Choose Hover, Land, or Return To Home. Your choice applies when you are manually flying your...

    Please explain - Litchi App

    Thank you all very much. I am going to have to read the manual again. I guess I misread it. I just could see no sense in using an app that did not return the drone if it lost its signal. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Please explain - Litchi App

    I have purchased the Litchi app due to the many positive comments on this forum. I have a P3S which I added itelite range extender to. (Not impressed so far) I started reading the manual for Litchi and if I am understanding this app,.....if I loose the signal, the RTH feature does not work. The...

    Advice on itelite booster on a p3s

    Fat Shark FPV Goggles with PS3 If I purchase Litchi, would I be able to use something like the Fat Shark Dominator V3 FPV Goggles with P3S? Thanks in advance for your answers.
