    Has Anyone Tried This Power Source?

    Anyone out there using autopilot app on their phantom 3 4k?

    I took a chance and paid for the Autopilot program. As I only have one cellular Apple device, I took my Iphone off the TX and installed into the model airplane to attempt to have the P3S follow and get some flying shots. I had the Autopilot program set to follow behind using a couple of...

    Anyone out there using autopilot app on their phantom 3 4k?

    Thanks for the feedback. Do both devices need cell service or only the one being followed? I'm trying to come up with a good way to have the P3s track and follow a r/c plane. Couldn't get litchi visual tracking to keep up.

    P3S refurb $349 from DJI

    Yes, that was the maiden flight. Here's the second one, trying to use Litchi track and follow on my r/c airplane, tracking was lost when the airplane hit the light in the horizon. Finished that flight with a couple of passes down the r/c runway and some pictures at dark of the full scale...

    Kindle Fire HD 8 (5th Generation): My Experience with setup, DJI GO, and Litchi

    I haven't used my New HD8 with my P3S yet as I need a tablet holder, but have been using the Google Play store to load apps not available through Amazon. It really isn't that hard to do if you follow the step by step directions, it's all spelled out and pretty straightforward. If I recall...

    Range Mods

    Correct, today was my second day with my P3S, just pushed the Magic Power update before heading out. I didn't fully test the limits but managed 390ft altitude at 1,900 ft away at my RC Club tonight. RC Club is on the property of a 5,500' municipal runway airport. Impressed with the low light...

    P3S refurb $349 from DJI

    Well showed up to the office yesterday, promptly charge the batteries, upgraded the firmware and went for a quick spin before packing up and leaving for the weekend. Was having fun flying and wasn't really thinking much about capturing high quality video.

    I saw a battery blow up

    There finally is a commercial solution available. In the past cinder blocks, lined ammo boxes, and lipo bags have been used. I just purchased 2 of these primarily for my 12S-4000mah airplane packs but will also use with my DJI batteries: BAT-SAFE » Safe lithium battery handling

    P3S refurb $349 from DJI

    Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Now to see if I can get the Litchi or Vertial App 'active track' features to follow one of my bigger 3D planes when I keep it low and slow. These videos from a small Elanview Cicada drone and stablized in Youtube.
