    FPV for Phantom 3 Standard

    The tablet I use is a Dragon Touch K10, $119 on Amazon. Yuneec Sky View Goggles, $49 on eBay and a micro HDMI to micro HDMI cable, $12 on eBay. A good bit less $500 for the Phantom 4 Pro, not to mention another $400 for DJI goggles. Something to think about, anyway...

    FPV for Phantom 3 Standard

    Any goggles that operate on 5.8g signals will not work with drones that use WiFi for image transmission. (Those are great if you build your own drone or want to race, etc....) I'm using a tablet that connects to Yuneec Skyview goggles. I don't find the lag to be a problem since I don't fly...

    Phantom 3 Standard FPV

    I know I'm late to the party but I just picked up a Yuneec Typhoon Skyview FPV headset for $49 on eBay. These are really nice for the price. Connected to my tablet's micro HDMI port, the image looks beautiful. I'm sure there will be some latency but I can live with it since I'm not racing...

    Partial Camera View??

    I was messing around with the problem when I decided to try my old phone which is Android 5.1 and had an installation of the DJI Go app version 3.1.50 and it works perfectly. The problem seems to be with my tablet which is Android 6.0.1 and has version 3.1.46 of the DJI Go app. So, I tried...

    Partial Camera View??

    Gingerbloke, photos and movies look fine and display a full image like you'd expect. So, I don't think it's the camera itself. The tablet I'm using is Android. What is a memory scrubber/cleaner? Is that a standard Android app? But...it makes me wonder if it isn't some kind of incompatibility...

    Not yet. I was hoping not to have to do that, but I may be doing it shortly. Thanks for the reply.

    Partial Camera View??

    I don't know if this is the right forum to show this problem... It's been about four months since I've fired up my Phantom 3 Standard. For some reason I'm only getting a partial camera image on my tablet which worked fine before. As you can see in the picture, the problem is not from the...

    P3S Compass mounting

    Thanks for the reply. Mounting the compass on the bottom of the shell works? Why doesn't DJI just do that then?

    P3S Compass mounting

    I wondered about the orientation of the compass and someone said it does indeed matter. However, I was looking at a picture of some retractable gear for the P3 and it clearly shows that the compass has changed orientation when the gear is in the up position. So, why does that compass still...
