So I finally updated my P3 and took it out today. Flew great was steady as a rock. so i went to flip it into F mode. that worked good and the menu came up to activate a mode. i picked follow me first just to test things out. i walked out into the field and picked to follow the RC. an error came...

Your RC should be at v1.3.20. updated it from the app. if that doesn't work use the SD card BIN file.

I read the instructions. it seems that from here on the Remote will be updated from the app after version v1.3.20. i think everything is good now. side note. I couldn't get the camera to work after the update to the copter. once i removed the BIN file from the SD card everything seem to be...

i got a question. I am updating as im typing this. this copter itself updated without any problems. but the remote is not seeing the update at all. it just sits there and does nothing. anyone else getting this? or does the remote not need an update this time?

i got that tablet today. apparently it has connection issues with the app. i contacted the support team, marketing team, app team. they said they will get back to me. :( guess i will just have to watch how i fly it and not get to far from sight.

i took it out one more time today. it flew perfect. the compass check fixed it. thanks for the help!

I took it out for another flight today. much cooler outside. slightly windy so didnt keep it up long. about 20mph gusts. the gps hold doesnt seem to be working. not sure whats going on. im uploading 2 pictures first picture is the copter and you can see that the horizon is not level at all...

check the benchmarks. if the test is below 8000 your phones performance will be very bad for video streaming. above 10,000 and you are good to go. http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/mobileice_storm_extreme/filter/ios this is a cheap alternative i found that im going to try myself. $80 you cant...

i since i posted that i tested about 5 phones and 3 tablets. i have found that the processor speed and gpu speed greatly effect the experience. the iphone 5 s and newer are best choices for apple devices ipad air 2 is the fastest. if you have an iphone 5c or lower.... well expect a few video lag...

hey i had that phone when i flew today. (brought 3 phones) the S4 is compatiable but barely. it is actually underpowered to handle the video feed and it crashed the app many times. my main phone htc one was slightly better but still very slow. also had a note 4 on hand and that was a lot...

I took it out to the field today. it was still humid (rain came 1 hour later) but wasn't as hot. the copter still had that vertical drift problem when i took off.after about 2-3 mins in the air it was stable. still not sure why it does that. this copter is very fast. a lot faster than my phantom...

hmm alright ill try that on my next flight when i go to the field.

i was in some sunlight but mostly tree coverage (thats why i didnt go too high.). it was about 98 degrees outside. very humid. and thanks for the trick on the the battery ill keep that in mind.

Hello All. Just finished my first flight. A few things felt a little out of wack. was wondering if i could get some insight on some problems. First thing i did was my First flight check list. Charged Battery and Controller downloaded Firmware to SD card updated firmware on phantom and...
