    DJI GO 3.1.18 gps location unstable in map view android devices

    Letting it sit for 15 minutes in the back yard under clear skies overhead does not change the position or accuracy on the Go map. When I move the map (not zoom) the dot moves in the direction I move my finger but at about 4x the rate. The previous edition worked perfectly. At the same sitting...

    DJI GO 3.1.18 gps location unstable in map view android devices

    You know the little blue dot indicating your devices' location on your android device map view in DJI Go? Well with my tablet and phone the blue dot moves all over the place when I move the view around and when I zoom in it goes way off the screen. Happened immediately with the 3.1.8 update...

    P3 Standard still image quality

    Lightroom is a much less expensive program than Photoshop that is easy to learn to use, if the free software does not suit you. Starting with a RAW file (be sure to turn that function on) you can draw a lot out of an otherwise dull photo and make it quite nice.

    No log-in prompt after P3S updates?

    That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation!!

    No log-in prompt after P3S updates?

    Good morning. Over the last few months I have flown several times, not as much as usual. I did the last firmware update a month or so ago, no problem. Yesterday did the Go App update, no problem. I have yet to be required to log in to DJI like has been written and is on their webpage. "Even...

    Having trouble Reattaching PC Board to Lower Hull

    If what you are calling a bushing and I am calling an o-ring are the same item, my P3S was assembled with that piece on top of the board. Would that work in your case, to put the bushing on top if the board?

    Advice on first non beginner mode flight

    Take your time and stop periodically and observe the GPS holding the AC in one spot. Remember you can do this at any time to recompose yourself and get (re)oriented if necessary...or move if it gets in line with the sun for example. Stop while still 20' or more away from whatever you want not to...

    Having trouble Reattaching PC Board to Lower Hull

    Assuming you removed items underneath the board you might want to look at each one of those items to be sure it was re-seated fully. There is no room to spare. Regarding the term bushing, there are only white o-rings on top of the board under the screw head on mine

    software update

    Agree 100% with this reply, just let it go and if it stalls at 40% or 50% just start over. The update goes through the AC and the Camera as I recall. Does some strange things but apparently all normal. Works just fine once completed, and update all your batteries.

    Having trouble Reattaching PC Board to Lower Hull

    Also it would be very easy to have wires around the edge of the board not clear. I just replaced my entire shell and it takes one last look at everything on and around the perimeter of the board to be sure nothing is pinched.

    Unstable flight

    Hopefully you have not accidentally changed your expo and gain settings. Go into the App and be sure they are all at default setting. You can tame or make AC totally unstable changing them. Don't do anytbing but default yet.

    Unstable flight

    Odd, very odd. Do these have a different pitch than the DJI props, or larger area? Might want to do a side by side comparison any time you change props from what came on the AC. Being a collective pitch RC helicopter pilot, I know just a little change in pitch or throttle changes the handling a...
