Sometimes the Phantom’s WiFi doesn’t show up right away - maybe try restarting both the drone and the controller, then check your phone’s WiFi list again. Also, make sure your phone’s location/GPS is turned on, because some DJI apps need that to detect the signal. For the goggles, they might...

If it’s just the battery that’s dead, borrowing one to test is a smart move before spending on a new one. I don’t have a Phantom 3 myself, but maybe try local drone or tech groups on Facebook or Meetup around Kildare? People there might be willing to help out or lend you a battery for a quick test.

I’m still trying to figure out how small businesses can grow online, especially niche ones. I found a resource that details SEO for local businesses

Sounds like you’ve been through a lot with that P3. From what you’re saying, the firmware update might be causing more trouble than it’s worth, especially with your setup. Downgrading firmware on DJI drones can be tricky and sometimes risky, but it’s possible if you find the right older version...

Nice setup you got there! I’ve done similar battery tests before. One thing I found is that Litchi is pretty solid for missions, but its battery stats can sometimes differ from Go4 or Maven since they each handle data a bit differently

I've been into video editing for a few years now, mainly for personal projects and a bit of freelance work. I understand the frustration with choppy and laggy video editing, especially with high-resolution footage from something like a Phantom 4 Pro. Your laptop specs might be a bit on the lower...

I noticed on your video that your stickers aren't lined up. Is it possible the shell was rotated when reassembled? Since the GPS is attached to the shell it should be "facing forward" so that the main board and GPS don't have conflicting directional inputs. Just a thought.

Problem Solved....The cable connecting the camera to the main board had a fault at the elbow. I replaced it with a replacement cable from a Phantom 2 Vision Cable Pack, Spare Part # 22. All works well now. :)

Excellent!...They're out of stock but thank you for the find! Just what I need.

Well...I finally figured out why I'm only getting partial telemetry. After disassembling the camera...monkeying around with the connections...dropping, searching for, and finally finding a microscopic screw, I realized the problem is in the white data cable (figures). Specifically, at the...

Well...after removing the camera cover and inspecting the interior I'm led to believe a number of things...The plug socket is fairly robust (surprised) and I don't believe it's the problem...the PCB is of sufficient thickness to make me doubt it's cracked. When I power up the Vision and jiggle...

I may be able to shed some light on the issue. I've recently had the same telemetry problem as everyone else on this thread (no, gps sats, batt, distance, speed, etc...). I noticed that the telemetry would work intermittently when the camera was tilted up as far as the servo would take it...

I recently replaced the OEM props with these: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh ... duct=55442 Gains are the same and the Vision flys very well...very responsive. Flight times seem to be about the same. Can't beat the price... $8.00

Hmmm... what do you make of this? http://www.banggood.com/DJI-PHANTOM-2-V ... 26398.html

I couldn't agree more... As an FAA employee involved it the SRM process (Safety Risk Management) I'm constantly amazed by some of the videos that are posted here and on youtube. Many people don't seem to realize the liability of flying the equivilent of a "rabid dog attached to the weedeater of...
