I am having an issue with an error warning with my phantom 3 advanced. Everything seems normal during the process of starting the drone, controller, and attaching the mobile device to the USB cable. When I open the dji app, and click on "camera" to get to the first screen, it shows me my...

Its likely not a pure sine generator. Its one of the no-name cheapie $400 Chinese products. So that said should the chargers still charge correctly with no damage?

I own a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced with three intelligent flight batteries which I always have charged at home with 120 volts to this point. I will be going to a remote cabin sometime this summer that only has a conventional generator and a couple of deep cycle batteries that are used as an...

I have very little knowledge in frequencies myself. I had read either in this forum or another that some people experienced odd drone behavior or some type of signal interuption around trains. Looks like these replys have answered my question. Shouldnt have a problem.

I'm interested in using a local rarely use railroad as a flight path when no trains are present for my P3. It seems to me that it is a no brainer concerning safety issues like not flying over people, houses, private property (other than rr private property) parks etc. This would also give me a...

At this point you have already lost video signal, but still have control and are flying using the altitude, speed, direction, etc numbers on the app, and you still essentially have control of the drone but just don't have visual or video?

So in theory, if I had a wide open flat area with no obstructions, had my return home altitude set correctly, and made sure my home point was updated to my current launch site, I could fly straight ahead until I am completely out of video and controller signal range, and the drone would return...

I have a couple of questions about signal loss and distance with my P3 Advanced. At an altitude of 130’ I can fly about 2900’ in distance when I start to get the red “weak signal” warning on my app. Not wanting to lose my signal I circle back and continue my flight in another direction. What is...

So you are suggesting I only need to contact strips that have a manned tower if I'm in their 5 mile radius before flying my drone?

I bought my Phantom 3 Advanced in June 2015, and due to busy work and personal schedules didn’t try my first flight until October 2016. I realized then that I had a bad controller and had to play email tag with DJI for 2 more months before they agreed to replace it. I have only flown my drone...
