    Am I the only idiot here?

    I'm on a farm and often duck out for a flight outside but have to shut my dogs in the yard while I take off and have to grab AC out of the air rather than land or they attack it. Quite a bit of rigmarole as the dogs are excited and barking. Got up one day and let the dogs out and then realised I...

    Getting addition P3S, but wondering...

    When my son was here with his and we had both going I could see his listed in my wifi options. There was only one digit different in the name, mine had a 9, his had an 8 in there. You need to know which is which so only turn one of first.

    P3S Weak/Loss of Signal under 500 ft.

    May I ask what device you are using for the DJI GO app? Would it be a Samsung S5 by any chance?

    Better signal with different antenna angle

    Yeah, thought of that, which is pretty amazing for me as I can be slow :) Had hoped to get out this arv after work but it's trying to storm so will have to wait.. Thanks for the idea.

    Better signal with different antenna angle

    Nothing I've ever read or seen has ever said to have the antenna the way it is in this YouTube clip but I think it's what I need to try.

    Better signal with different antenna angle

    I have no idea how to do that but it's why I mentioned the device I use as I wondered if this was the issue. Too windy to test more this evening :(

    Straight up doesn't get me more than 200m?

    Better signal with different antenna angle

    Yay, I finally got more to 500m (1640ft) Samsung S5 phone, App 3.1.3, version 1.7.9 Identical drone to my son's purchased at the same time (4 months ago), from the same shop. My son lives in a slightly more built up area than I, 5 hour's drive away. I live on a farm with the nearest house 500m...

    Video files properties

    Some of mine say Frame Width 2704 and Frame Height 1520 and newer ones say W1920/H1080. I know the current setting on my camera is 1080 but I don't recall ever changing it. Also don't get why it's the width measurement for the 2.7k and height measurement for the 1080 which is what had me...

    Video files properties

    I am fairly new and still a lot to learn but have been reading heaps here. I often come across video settings talking about quality of 720, 1080 or 2.7k. Whilst I can find these settings on my drone camera and change them I can't work out how to find out which setting a file on my computer was...

    It's 3G 4G capable but no service here. Samsung Galaxy S5. I shall go for a fly where there is mobile service when weather improves and see what happens. Thankyou.

    V 3.1.3 Go app out in play store

    Enable Amap (for China Mainland) is off. I don't see a Calibrate Amaps.. This map thing seems terribly random. What is meant by doing a power cycle? If those who have mentioned it mean restarting your device then no, I have not done that between viewing maps indoors on wifi and going outside. I...
