    V01.04.0602 Update for Those of You That Had Problems

    at least you buy where you can easily return or exchange - i had the P4P+ and it had horrible downlink connection - i thought it was the screen, but then I experienced the same thing with the exchange P4P - I feel your pain . . .

    V01.04.0602 Update for Those of You That Had Problems

    I had similar problems, tried several things (changing cable to iPhone, different iPhones and iPads, firmware reinstall and IMU calibration) then I saw a video where a tech explained how the remote control uses channels up to 19 I think, whatever the case, I MANUALLY switch to channel 20 and no...

    Display flashes green and blackout

    I have had similar problems but it was solved by going into CUSTOM and picking CHANNEL 20 - the lower end channels are used to transmit and receive from the Phantom, so everytime I would rotate the Phantom I would get breakup and green screen and video lag - switched to CH 20 and it seems ok...

    Possible Video Downlink Fix for P4P

    Note: this ONLY applies to the downlink video and NOT the video recorded on the onboard Card Having experienced horrible lag, complete loss of image and green screen with a P4P+ I returned it (Amazon returns are totally, absolutely 100% trouble free by the way) and got the non-plus P4P It was...

    Phantom-Saving Tips and Lessons Learned

    Somehow the only damage was a slightly chipped prop (replaced immediately) and a scuff mark on the top of the arm - i was beyond lucky - I was only seeing the lower wires and actually thought I was still rising when KABLAM! It looks like it a tension line, would have really sucked to have taken...

    Phantom-Saving Tips and Lessons Learned

    The video below was shot on a Phantom 4 Pro and although it is an excellent demo for what this aircraft/software/camera can do, it is more about a few valuable lessons I learned - I previously had a Phantom 4 Pro+ but returned it due to a number of bugs, and although the setup was quick and...

    DBS Antenna - Any Reason NOT To?

    Its funny you mention the windsurfers, I had a nice pair, it was one piece and fit over antennas nicely - the downside I found was that the windsurfers provided a much narrower field with a sharp falloff - only once did i lose signal behind some trees on a 3km flight! The dos I have found has...

    DBS Antenna - Any Reason NOT To?

    I sent my rc in to have it done, can't go wrong! More distance, and I am actually controlling from behind trees and other obstacles with no degradation - amazing - it also fits nicely in a ThinkTank case with my P3P - a perfect match!

    DBS Mod and Phantom 3 with Boost or Amps??

    Just my experience but I first used the windsurfers with my P3Pro, went about 2 miles to shoot a marsh fire - lost a little signal when a tree came between me and the P3Pro - just raised up another 50 feet and it was okay - then I sent my r/c in for the dos mods - AMAZING - it provides great...

    Crossing the Mississippi

    ha ha very cool! I am in nola and use the river a lot for flying, chasing the ferry, big tankers with the french quarter in the background - I may have to shoot the bluffs, awesome! I really liked my windsurfers, they were less than 20 bucks on eBay and I never lost signal - now I have the...

    Join us, 10,000 plus citizens fighting against both the richest man in Louisiana (Tom Benson) and the most beloved athlete (Drew Brees.) Both are pushing through a horrific stadium and soccer complex to be built ON THE RIVER in the pristine Riverview, or the FLY, behind Audubon Park. Using my...

    P3P Amazing & Haunting Aerials/Abandoned SIX FLAGS

    yeah its crazy because despite all the cool apocalyptic locations at the park, its primary if not only use for movies takes place in the vast parking area where actual sets are built - crazy!

    P3P Amazing & Haunting Aerials/Abandoned SIX FLAGS

    One of my first flights with this amazing tool - not a real demonstration of the incredible range of this thing, but definitely shows the stability and quality of the Phantom3 Pro - and the price has dropped to under a grand! Shutup!! Go get one but make sure you register with FAA or they will...
