    P4P Compass Calibration Keeps Failing

    Thanks Meta4 for the reminder. I also noticed when I was inspecting my P4P after a flight, using a bright led flashlight, that the compass calibration was required from the software. The flashlight had a magnetic clip on it - must have been too close to one of the compasses. I took it out to a...

    P4P Compass Calibration Keeps Failing

    Couldn't fly yesterday due to weather. Went to an open soccer field and all went well. Then drove over to the first location where I had compass problems. This is a large construction site and I noticed there was a new large stockpile of big pipes I hadn't noticed before. Maybe these caused the...

    P4P Compass Calibration Keeps Failing

    I've flown a P2 Vision + for one year and P3 Pro for a year and a half, and now I just purchased a P4 Pro. I flew it twice and all went well - calibrations and all. Today I tired two areas where I've flown in the past and I was seeing a compass error and then could not get the compass to...

    Strange changes to map replay after iOS 9.0

    Just flew two batteries with my P3P and no problems. I'm using an iPad Air with wifi only. I cached the maps and it worked just as before iOS 9. I did close out all apps and put the iPad in airplane mode. ed209 (below) is correct. I was not looking at the flight log. Displays as he said in...

    Lowepro Product Testing

    Ian, Your drone guard kit looks good - I considered it, but needed something to transport my Phantoms easier for farther distances. I'm currently using the Think Tank Airport Helipak. It's a pretty good fit for my needs with a couple of exceptions. The waist belt could be better padded and...

    Gain / Expo after update

    I struggled with this as well - until I noticed a "Done" on the keypad. After typing in the new numbers for Attitude and Brake, when I selected "Done" the new settings remained. I'm using iOS. Ron

    Did DJI forget to "no-fly zone" the busiest airport in Europe?

    I found a no fly zone yesterday (Vista Field - Kennewick, WA) that was not on DJI's map, but the pilot app kept me from starting the motors. The airport has been closed since Dec. 2013. Difficult to predict where you can fly with this sort of contradiction. Other than that, the P3 is flying...

    Received the new charger and all is well again. I've had the charger over 3 months, but I will check on the warranty.

    P2V+ Charger

    I have 32 cycles of each of my batteries. My charger will not show a green light - even when disconnected. It just slowly flashes red. I have on battery at 8% and will not charge it - light on battery go out after several minutes. Another battery at somewhat under full charge will not top...

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    Yes - thanks to ianwood and all the beta testers. I live in NW WA where we have over 16 deg declination. Today TBE and J Hook is gone - what a pleasure. Could not follow paths pre 3.06 without constant correction, but now no problem - and even in 5-8 mph wind. All seems very well.

    DJI has released new firmware v3.06 for Phantom 2 series

    Flew about 30 min in 5 - 8 mph winds. I'm in NW WA and the declination here is a little over 16 degrees. I was have a fairly severe case of TBE and J hooking. From the beginning of my flight today all went well - straight and stable. I had been having difficulty following paths without...
