    Midflight Failure - Please Help Identify Cause

    Going frame-by-frame, the very first thing that happens from 100% stability is the front right arm instantly drops down into the field of view of the camera... and its propeller is clearly missing. As it tumbles you can see occasional circular blurs from the front left propeller, but absolutely...

    Any BF/CM deals on an PRO?

    Yes, but the $250 I'm referring to in this thread was stated as $250 off *plus* extra battery. Its $250 off *including* extra battery. :-) May I just state while I understand the need of a Minimum Advertised Price policy, I really don't like how with DJI, it's essentially price fixing. Has...

    Any BF/CM deals on an PRO?

    In the US, the Pro is $100 off and a free $149 battery. Not $150 off, not $250 off...

    Expensive Lesson Learned today

    The minimum recommended temperature IS in freezing temperatures. And even with warnings, I've not heard that extending a few degrees below that equals sudden catastrophic failure. Perhaps with the warning he should've hovered a few feet off the ground for a few minutes to warm the batteries up...

    Expensive Lesson Learned today

    Still doesn't seem right to me either. The manual says "The battery should be used in temperatures of -10°C to 40°C." Was it really that much colder than 14°F where you are?

    Best Buy Black Friday

    I kind of wish this had either gone directly to the DJI site, or led to a page about the black Friday deal... not some other domain that just automatically forwarded me to the dji site with your referral code. ;-P

    Doesn't look like it. Also no indication of a free battery with the Standard.

    Well, this has been most helpful... while the 2mbit data rate is probably fine for non-goggle FPV, and is likely required for longer range flights, I still like the option of having a higher quality feed for closer flights. Any Canadian dealers reading this? Will there be similar deals to the US?

    Ugh... that's kind of what I was worrying about. And now I read on the DJI forums that there's a difference in the Lightbridge capabilities between the Advanced and Pro; namely the Advanced tops out at a 2mbit feed datarate, while the Pro can go up to 10?

    Okay, so P3S with free battery for $599 (that does seem rather good)... and P3P with free battery for $1159... any deals on the Advanced to look forward to? I'm so indecisive on going with the Standard or the Adv/Pro... I feel like I really want Lightbridge over WiFi, but that black Friday price...

    DJI Phantom 2 vs Vision+ for FPV flying? (+ Shopping List)

    Re: DJI Phantom 2 vs Vision+ for FPV flying? (+ Shopping Lis Thanks... I both like and hate the modularity of the base P2 system - like because I'm not stuck with any one thing, and hate because I don't know how well everything will work together, or even where to install it!

    DJI Phantom 2 vs Vision+ for FPV flying? (+ Shopping List)

    I am having a heck of a time deciding between these two quads for first-time FPV flying! On the one hand I like the "all in one" nature of the V+ and do already own an iPhone, but know I'd get much better quality footage out of the Hero 3 Black I already have. I'm also finding that a Phantom 2...
