    P4v2 - Sudden and Permanent Disconnect & Vanish

    Hi @Tap2FlyCommode , I took a look on the CSV files. The CSV of the last flight (when you lost the bird): 1st thing I've noticed is that you've started to push the Throttle (see rc_throttle column) after just 0.7 seconds following motors start !! At 9.0 seconds you were up at 153 ft having...

    Why a pre-flight checklist is important....

    Here is my input too, based on (sometimes bitter...) knowledge gathered from other pilots: - make sure the battery is well seated in its compartment, by checking it clicked on both upper & lower clipses (P3) - check the altitude for RTH if AC losts RC signal (make sure the flight over a...

    Flights on hills

    What I never understood in DJI’s P3 design (I guess the approach is still present in further generations), is why the drone is not using its GPS capability to measure on Z axis too (height), value from which will extract the "ground_elevation_at_drone_location" (see the csv file, column based I...

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (November 2020)

    I voted for iPad mini 2 & iPad Air 2, but neither counter has incremented by 1. Why ?

    RTH

    Hi @msinger, I've noticed a lot of pilots (no matter if they run DJI Go 3 or 4 App) have the identical issue as mine, namely they cannot re-set the home point according to the new RC GPS position. Trying to proceed with it in the "Home Point Settings" menu, the system retuns with these 2...

    P3Pro - Firmware Update Mistake

    AC FW v1.11.20 has a bad reputation, I've read here in time a lot of folks have complained about this FW has bricked their birds. I'm not sure if it's possible anymore (since you've already attempted to upgrade with 1.11.20) but why don't you try AC FW v1.8.80 ? I have not upgraded further since...

    Bad night my Drone Phantom 3 crashed :(

    Agree with you. @SileAine please put here a link to the uploaded flightlog. It’s strange the bird got sudden mad.
  8. Q

    Could not shut down the battery after a flight.

    I cannot imagine myself landing the drone with its super sensitive gimbal camera in a dusty area or a grass surface (by no means if the grass it’s grown up to the props level). That’s why from my early experience as an UAV pilot I have learned to land by hand-catching it. What I miss is that I...

    Cell phone towers

    I don’t know anything about Phantom 1. Was it having a 800 MHz link btw RC & AC ? If yes, then is no wonder why you fly right into the microwave dish beam without any issues.

    rear lights

    @jephoto who has used this statement “need to have my WiFi antennas on” ? @Ansia we shouldn't get fooled so easily by believing that WiFi switched On is improving the GPS position calculation (?!) In fact, the phone / tablet operating system owner wants to understand what is the geo coverage...

    rear lights

    I pay 7 € /month for 8 GB, but lately Vodafone is not charging you for a traffic that gets larger than the said 8 GB. However the subscription span is not consumed untill I leave home for an inland vacation, but even there you are always close to a local wifi network. Based to the subscription...

    rear lights

    @jephoto The iPad is equipped with a Vodafone sim card with its own subscription. I don’t feel confortable to use the phone’s wifi hotspot because it interferes with the communication channel btw RC & AC, thus the DJI Go App shows a bad communication channel affecting 1st of all the video downlink.

    dji phantom 3 advanced firmware

    @DIZDAMAN my advice: buy yourself an iPad mini 2 with 4G it will cost you just 100 £ and you’ll forget all these endless issues with weird modified USB after an Android update a.s.o.
  14. Q

    rear lights

    Yes is works fine without any issues. I have a P3P and an iPad mini 2 with LTE running Go App 3.1.54.
  15. Q

    Landed on ground, Props still spinning, turned off controller, drone took back off and "flew to home" over water

    If you don’t power up the drone, then there is no Homepoint to establish, because this is a parameter related to the bird, not to the phone/tablet and its GPS module. So the correct statement should be: I won't take-off with the bird until 1) Homepoint has been established, and 2) I have...
