    dji showing wrong aircraft and no signal

    ok maybe Reel L was right.... just changed sd card and lo-and-behold it's now working correctly. Must have been a dodgy sd card.

    dji showing wrong aircraft and no signal

    just tried Mocho's suggestion.... still telling me it's a Phantom 3 Professional. Very frustrating now as the drone is unusable (apart from flying around with no FPV)

    dji showing wrong aircraft and no signal

    as the weather looked nice I took my phantom 3 advanced out today. I turned it on, then turned the remote on - which gave a green light.... i.e. all looking good. But in my dji go app when you click on camera, it said "phantom 3 Professional". And when I clicked the camera it came up with a...

    Simulator nearly worthless

    I found the simulator prety bland but it did give me more confidence in using the f functions which I have never delved into before. Just another idea if the simulator is ever to be improved upon. Would it be feasible to have failsafe scenarios - for example I flew the simulator to 5000m...

    Massive video lag. Poor video signal

    hi, thanks for all the replies. The video streaming seemed absolutely fine when I tried it today in a different location - and I shot a great movie and took some good pics. Not sure why it behaved so badly yesterday when it was fine today. Will upgrade the controller though. Thanks

    Massive video lag. Poor video signal

    hi, I think it is already in auto - but have noticed that there is no option to change this in my DJI Go app. Although I'm sure I remember seeing an option in the "Image Transmission Settings" when I used it 6 months ago. Maybe my latest update has made this option disappear.

    Massive video lag. Poor video signal

    hi, thanks for the reply. I have been through all menu settings and there is an "Image Transmission Settings" screen with various red, green and blue lines changing around, but it does not look as if there are any option to actually set a pre-defined channel in my version of DJI Go ? I'm sure...

    Massive video lag. Poor video signal

    I have not used my phantom 3 advanced for over 6 months. Installed firmware update V01.090060.bin yesterday and had a practise flight today ready for an event on Sunday. Not good! video streaming breaking up - over half a second video lag which felt very disorienting for me and even...

    time elapsed recording problem

    ok - did a bit of experimenting and it seems it was a mis-understanding on my part. Time Lapsed seems to take a photo straight away - then waits x number of seconds and keeps taking another one on a timer until you press the shutter button to stop it. So it would not let me the video because...

    time elapsed recording problem

    I had a strange issue this morning - the camera was set for raw/jpeg , and I set it for 10 second time lapsed photos (for a selfie with some friends). However it was taking the photo straight away (no time lapse - even though I checked and it was set for 10 second time lapse). I then started...

    ultrasonic icon

    hi, I understand the bit about the ultrasonic icon kicks in when it is between 0.3m and 3m and is the distance from aircraft to the ground beneath it. But I noticed this icon changes to a person icon when it goes above 3m and gives me a figure in meters which I do not know what it means at the...

    time lapse camera settings

    hi 1. on your camera screen select "MENU" (to the right of your camera screen) 2. Click on "Shooting Mode" 3. Select "Time-lapse" (which is at bottom of the list) 4. You can change the lapse by clicking either 10s, 20s or 30s. 5. Take photo and wait.

    RC Signal Lost question

    yes that makes sense. I think my phantom will be staying on Return-to-Home for most of the time - worth being aware of those situations though so thanks
