    Loosing connection to aircraft with a difference

    I told you to be careful. That sounds quite similar to my experience when I first had it "unlocked". But without the river. OK 850m is not 2800m but if you began with 100m-500m it is almost double the range. There was not obstacle in between me and the drone and I stood a bit higher than the...

    How to Update Tx-Power with Magic Power v5.0

    I have no experience with the P34K But my advise would be use the newest version 5.3 which supports newer firmware of the AC: Magic since you need to connect the AC via WLAN, make shure no firewall or anti-virus application keeps you from connecting.

    Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE

    From what I've read it should be easier for 4K owners to switch to fcc. This solution mentioned in this thread has evolved bc the existing ways to switch the ACs don't work for the P3SE. I guess you will have to find out why Magic Power doesn't work. Maybe try a newer version. 5.3 is the...

    It seems Phantom 3 Standard owners can use this tool: Magic

    Loosing connection to aircraft with a difference

    Nice to hear it worked out for you. We have to thank the dude who found out the routine. It makes totally sense how this works but you have to hit on the idea. Don't forget to disable auto-updates for the app, like me. And yep, the weather... Since having the drone I now really care what the...

    FPV Options for P3SE?

    Good. What I didn't see before, this forum has a complete section about the DJI goggles. DJI Goggles Just for the fun of it, here is a video of a neat installation of a cam inside an RC plane also with head tracking.

    Loosing connection to aircraft with a difference

    I couldn't even reach 500m before I used the FakeGPS method to switch the AC from CE to FCC. So the behaviour is totally normal for your drone. I am living in the countryside and here are little interferences. In a city the signal will be relfected too much and other radio signals will also...

    FPV Options for P3SE?

    No problem. I recieve help here and try to help when I can. But I can't really talk about the quality of the DJI goggles because they fall out of my price range and as we see are not working with my P3SE: I'd love to have the head tracking feature though. But I couldn't afford a drone...

    Loosing connection to aircraft with a difference

    80 meters is really low. Do you have view contact? When I flew over a forest in CE mode and lost sight it also lost connection and started RTH. I suggest to try the fakeGPS method. The modded apps didn't work for me, I mean they didn't change to FCC. I used the second option in this thread and...

    FPV Options for P3SE?

    The problem with the range of the P3 SE is it's limitation under CE. You can read about it under the P3 SE threads. I'm not sure but I think i saw you can manually switch to FCC inside the remote of the P3 A. But better look it up yourself. Youtube is a good source for gaining knowledge about...

    Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE

    Thanks for the information this is really good to know. So I can compare the different versions. I thought I read that the google maps part of the 3.1.8 version wouldn't work but it loaded parts of the map in satellite view, very slow though. Can I force it somehow to update the map? So for now...

    FPV Options for P3SE?

    As far as I had to learn, the receiver of the Phantom 3 SE is not upgradable with a board that has HDMI-out like it is possible with your Phantom 3 Advanced. So you don't need to use the HDMI-port of your tablet and just install a board like this if it does not already have an HDMI-port...

    Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE

    So, it's 4:20AM and I'm done switching to FCC with the FakeGPS app, it seems. It is too dark outside to test but the app switched the WLAN settings and I could finally see 11 instead of 13 channels at 2.4 Ghz like expected. Neither the modded 3.1.34 nor the modded 3.1.18 worked for me. I'd like...

    Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I will first try the 3.1.18 version and then the FakeGPS method if it's not working. I haven't upgraded to the newer firmware because of all those posts on the DJI forum complaining it cuts the range. Maybe the DJI online profile overrides the changes made by...

    Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE

    Hi there everybody, first post, first drone, first problem. Nice to have a forum dedicated to DJI drones besides the official one. We bought the P3SE early 2019 from Metro in Germany. The video signal is hardly stable and the connection gets lost around 300 meters. I tried convincing it to...
