    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    While because the Nvidia K1 gamer tablet is, because of its video performance, a better tablet for UAS use, your Samsung should work just fine. I would try turning the bird on and off and the tablet on and off to see if it binds. Also, make sure you don't have a cellphone nearby.

    Oh no, first the Mavic now the Spark

    Ok, I was intrigued by the Mavic and its portability was a great feature for flights to Europe where I intend to use my P3A most. However, the cost of the Mavic and the hit I would get on my near perfect P3A was enough for me to stop considering that foolish act. Now I see this Spark thing...

    End

    The Advanced is the best for price-performance. It uses Lightbridge (not WIFI) like the Professional and has the same controller but has the HD (not 4K) video. It's probably not the best time to pay more than necessary for a Phantom 3.

    Is this forum now called "I lost or crashed my P3P" forum?

    This is a large community, statistically there must be among us a few members that are not all there. So I suspect some stories of flyaways and other unusual occurrences should be taken with a grain of salt. Some people want attention.

    FAA Drone Zone at the annual ATCA

    The Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) holds an annual affair. This year the FAA set up a "Drone Zone". Most of the time a Phantom 2 was flying, but they had many drones surrounding the drone cage. My interest was in the Insitu fixed wing UAS which is a competitor to a UAS we sell but you...

    Mavic vs Phantom 4

    They came to about the same conclusion that most people here came to. DJI essentially eliminated the market for the Phantom series.

    Best mobile device

    I use an iMac at home, have an iPhone 6, have an iPad but found that the Nvidia Shield K1 worked better with the Phantom. My first Android device.

    Legality Of Antenna Boosters

    The regulation states that the replacement antenna must be the same type e.g. dipole for dipole, yagi for yagi, must exhibit the same in-band and out of band ERP and must be permanently connected or utilize a proprietary connector. If the FCC was actively pursuing "pirates", they would be...

    Legality Of Antenna Boosters

    Antenna gain/performance is thankfully not part of the transmitter licensing process. "The FCC does not require each antenna structure to be registered." Pre Construction Services - FAA/FCC Filing/Licensing
