    Members attitude

    You can't "smile when you say that" in a typed comment. Glad Propsontop brought that up.

    Wind speed and gusts

    I'm in Kansas Beerock and the same conditions apply here. Bought a used Inspire 1 in hopes that the more weight.......etc. would help but I still would wait for high winds. I hate loosing my toys. BTW: Wind here is at a measured 1 mph now. Today, I would fly! ;)

    Wind speed and gusts

    All the above warnings are good info. What is amazing to me that no one has mentioned that those 30 mph winds at ground level in stormy conditions could easily be 50 mph a couple hundred feet up. Same result however.........Droneless Sunday.

    P3 Firmware Anyone online now that can tell me what the fix is for no communication after this last update?

    I'm afraid that my similar experience transcends the time barrier a bit but here goes. First Dji drone was a P3P. First flight out of the box and was required to update the firmware on the remote and copter. New from Dji I should add. Already owned a Tab 3 Samsung tablet and had downloaded...

    How do YOU fly?

    I suspected that Guy. Just wasn't positive. I know that they sure weren't the quality of those I take in RAW and that explains a lot. Thanks.

    How do YOU fly?

    I've noticed the same on mine BarryM. But of course the video does "kinda" pause, "sorta"? Main thing I notice when taking a snapshot while video is recording is that though I have both set to RAW format, the stills taken when video is happening are in JPG format......(Which I consider way...

    Dont make the same stupid mistake I made!

    Wow John. Talk about birds of a propeller! I have had almost the exact same experience as you reported. With the exception that my son owns a computer store so I have many more options to try things than the average guy/gal. My 8" Tab 4 Android was working just fine ......UNTIL....I updated...

    It happened again - prop failure #2...

    Sorry such a late comer to this conversation, but it came back to memory after I just received a couple sets of the new "quieter" props. Anyone out there using sharp objects to remove the shrink-wrap that DJI puts on the prop hubs? Even a scratch in that area might be cause for a failure...

    Newbie help!!

    Hopefully, any connection issues will be fixed when you send it in for repair? Loss of connection, unless due to strong interference of other wireless devices, should not happen.

    P4P Image transmission very poor

    Try borrowing an iPad from some kind soul Bashy. Dji says they support the Android devices but are (I assume) designed around use with Apple products.

    P4P Image transmission very poor

    I started having the same issue with a Tab 3 and a P3P over two years ago. It hasn't been fixed by Dji since. Only way I finally got it corrected was to buy an iPad for flying use only. Dji is drowning even that now with add on's to the GO4 (new drone, P4P) application. Had to clean off as...

    No VIDEO OR TELEMETRY

    I sympathise. Wish I had an answer but been looking for it for over two years. You aren't going to like my answer much, but problem started with an update to software and firmware while using a Phantom 3 Pro with a Samsung Tab 3 tablet. (clearly one that is listed in Dji's own data on...
