    network not avable

    On most devices, you will need to go to your SETTINGS and manually change your wifi from whatever it is connected to (like your home wifi) to the Phantom - with both the remote controller and aircraft turned on and linked. Then, the camera video will appear on your remote device. You do not...

    A couple of beginners questions

    There are some functions with the P3S that are not activated until at least 30 feet away from home point, such as the intelligent flight modes and RTH. Therefore, when I launch my P3S, I send it up 15-20 feet and 30+ ft. away and let it hover there. I find it hovers better at this distance...

    Above Johannesburg - the RICHEST city in Africa

    The video, and the music, helped put you there. Nice video.

    Short footage of my area, Nottingham City on Lockdown

    Nice video. I live in a small town and sadly, looks about the same here and so many other places. Fodder for a future "before and after shot", if we ever see an "after."

    DJI geofencingsystem update

    Why would you want to update even more restrictions to where you can't fly?

    Hole of Horcum, North Yorkshire

    Nice video. Never heard of Hole of Horcum, so always nice to see something new and learn about it.

    Need some help after bad crash

    Good question. It is NOT likely a 10uF cap in the 0805 SMD package. Most likely a 10nF (.01uF) or 100nF (.1 uF). It most likely is used to remove the RF transmitter power out of the compass signal. If so, either a 10 or 100nF cap would do that job, depending on what your friend has on hand...

    GPS Jamming in Southeast

    We had a similar multi-day military exercise in the southwest centered around White Sands Missile Range (near where I live) last summer. GPS is not jammed for the entire time frame specified, just a few periods within it. I flew twice during the exercise period with no GPS issues.

    Inexpensive vhf airband transceiver

    An internet search for your area airport will list the frequencies for the tower, approach and departure control, etc. to program into your scanner. Also of interest for your daughter might be the frequency for ATIS (automatic terminal information service). It's a looping recording updated...

    Guess what i forgot ?‍♂️

    I've left home without an SD card a couple of times. I now download my videos to my PC through the USB cable directly to keep the SD card in the Phantom, and have a spare SD card taped to the bottom of my remote controller "just in case."

    I have not been here in a while..... is the Phantom DOA or do we think that there will be a P5?

    Yes, plenty of speculation on the forums of a new generation Phantom 5 someday, but only speculation. No DJI Phantom support for over a year nor any official explanation. DJI is keeping their cards close to their chest if any plans. I love my P3S, still works great, and love the form factor...

    new pilot

    I've had my P3S since they were first released. Though kinda old, still a good bird, good video, and does everything I want it to. You'll enjoy yours. 1) Go fly it and get comfortable with flying and maneuvering it before you concentrate on photos and videos 2) learn to fly both GPS and ATTI...

    Nice video of the flooding. Location?

    Aftermath of San Bernardino, California Hillside Fire

    Sad subject to see all the destruction and the countless lives affected. But, your video documented it nicely and well done.

    DJI Mavic Mini Released!

    I have no connection with DJI. But I do wonder, if like us, DJI just isn't getting fed-up with all the laws and restrictions constantly being placed on their products. Then, multiply that by 300+ countries. So they introduced a mini "toy" drone that circumvents the registration requirements...
