I find my 9.4" iPad too big and cumbersome on the controller - too big to carry around in the field, and too top heavy on the controller cradle. Also, paying many hundreds of pounds for a new tablet with GPS (needed for the 'follow me' function), especially when the 4G-SIM capability is not...

No damage, I have flown the vehicle successfully since the crash in the fog.

That link didn't make much sense for MacOS, and my MacBook wouldn't talk directly to the Phantom 3 SE vehicle, via the USB link. However, I did manage to find some flight logs on my iPhone7 (used as the controller). There were: CSV files, which just listed the lat, long and battery charge at...

Some years ago we did a study at work on the effects of icing on fixed wing aircraft. One obvious mitigation is applying deicing fluid to the wings, but I am not sure this would persist long enough to work on the Phantom 3 props. However, as a cross-country skier, I regularly apply various wax...

Thanks, will try that.

On the battery issue: the app reported that the battery was on 80% on take-off and about 50% after crashing - the vehicle was only the air about 1-2 minutes. But I wondered if the cheaper (non DJI) battery lost voltage quicker because of the cold, even though it was reporting adequate charge.

Where would I find the .dat log file, and how would I access it?

OK, so I am new to drone flying (and very new to this Forum!). This morning, I decided to fly my Phantom 3SE out of my garden (in NW England) over the field behind, to see if I could get above the ice fog to view the winter landscape around me. The temperature was -4C, and the fog seemed to be...

I have just bought an ASUS Nexus 7 2013 Wifi (running Android) secondhand from eBay, to fly my Phantom 3 SE - mainly because I already had one and it seemed to work well with the DJI Go app, but had a broken screen which limited flying controls (because of unresponsive areas of the screen). I...

Hi, I have just joined this forum, to get advice and share experiences. I am a very inexperienced drone flyer, from North Lancashire, with a new DJI Phantom 3 SE. I am hoping to collect camera footage of scenery and outdoor activities I participate in, such as MTBing and XC skiing. So far I have...
