    Flashing red light on power down

    Have you had any news? did the behaviour go away when repaired? I've recently had a crash were gimbal was damaged and the red power light blinks for 5 seconds on power down.

    Phone died mid-flight then crash: Lessons to learn!

    Easy tiger! I might have other things occupying my time. While I'm keen to find out what happened and appreciate you being so enthusiastic about analysing it getting the data off isn't going to fix my gimbal so it's on the back burner. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Phone died mid-flight then crash: Lessons to learn!

    I've had DJI GO and Litchi crash during flight and no dramas with RTH activated on remote as well as reopening app and reconnecting mid air on another occasion. I've opened up the SD card and it looks like the data didn't get written. I pulled apart the Gimbal and the yaw arm has bent up into...

    Phone died mid-flight then crash: Lessons to learn!

    Hey All, so this is my first crash after 6 months of owning and using almost daily. Today my phone ran out of batteries mid flight, the P3A was only 10m away as I knew the phone would die. But I kept flying as I was only at 60% of P3A battery and I had taken off and gone for short test flights...

    Bitrate on P3A

    60bmps! - geez if DJI gave the 1080 that pipeline it would be such amazing footage - I'm working on a project where we have 2 x 5D mk3's for filming and I just want to get the Phantom as high as possible.

    Pre / Post firmware Video Bitrates

    just did a quick flight with new firmware to test video bitrates and... 2.7k 25fps = 45mbps from camera - (I wish I could get 1080 25fps @ 45mbps!) 1080 - 25fps = 25mbps 1080 - 50fps = 40mbps Exported the footage - 1080 @ 25 - 1080 @ 50 - 2.7 @ 25 of a forest with plenty of wind blowing the...

    Bitrate on P3A

    just did a quick flight and... 2.7k 25fps = 45mbps from camera - (I wish I could get 1080 25fps @ 45mbps!) Exported the footage - 1080 @ 25 - 1080 @ 50 - 2.7 @ 25 of a forest with plenty of wind blowing the leaves @ CBR 80mbps and they all look good. But by far the 1080 renders look better...

    Bitrate on P3A

    P3A - bitrate test Hi All - Just updated to the latest firmware and did some testing to see if there was a substantial difference between the 25fps and 50fps bitrate. I was thinking that if the 25fps used the same bitrate as 50fps which had to spread the bits over twice as many frames the 25fps...
