    firmware update P3S

    That's interesting. Though the signal losses where mostly at the 1000 feet mark, where priort to update, I got to 1376 feet, with a good video feed, now it disconnects and screen goes black or video cuts off all together. I also heard the firmware can't be downgraded from this revision.

    range problem with phantom 3 standard.

    I also wander if the firmware could cause problems as well. A few days ago I got my p3s to around 1350feet away from me, with good video transmission from said bird, updated the firmware today and was getting frequent loss of signal and also really bad video transmission from my bird at much...

    Rant: Gatwick Airport drone incident

    Probably your right, but they can lodge a complaint with the independent police complaints commission, whether they can sue for wrongful arrest I don't know. The problem here is that as soon as they where arrested, their faces where slapped in the paper and their characters defamed.

    firmware update P3S

    Well I took the plunge today and updated the firmware on the P3s, everything went well, updated fine. I took it to my local flying spot with the expectation that the bird wouldn't go more than 60 feet away from me and 40 feet up. Had no issues there. What I did run into though was video...

    Drone footage, rc cars and editing software

    I would deffo agree. My main cars are an HPI Savage and a Radiosistemi RR8 rallycross buggy, though I also have an electric HPI Trophy Truggy Flux. I much prefer my nitro stuff

    range problem with phantom 3 standard.

    seems abit strange, I assume the receiver on the P3s is intact and the transmitter on the remote control is connected properly?

    Drone footage, rc cars and editing software

    Hi all, I've had my phantom 3 standard for about a month now and have so far only really had a couple of flights with it, due to light and weather constraints. However I am also quite big into radio controlled cars as well. So having nothing but my P3S ready to go I set about filming some of...

    range problem with phantom 3 standard.

    Personally I would have said that the problem is where your flying your bird. Though I am by no means an experience pilot. The reason being is that the Phantom standard works on Wifi, and with you flying close to houses, you are likely to get interference from the houses and home wifi networks...

    The things idiots do to drones

    If the pilot was filming for the occasion, then surely the "fan" should be liable for criminal damage?

    Carrying case for Phantom 3 Standard

    Looks like the remote fits fine in that particular case, as there are even pictures of the case with them inside. Looking at it, my trans won't fit with the mount I have on it at the moment.

    Carrying case for Phantom 3 Standard

    Have you got any links to the ones your looking at? As I fitted a different phone mount (similar to part 45, inspire 1 mount)

    firmware update P3S

    I like that thought, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

    Posting / Shipping a drone to the US from the UK

    that is certainly better than sending abroad, and I really cant think of why a US citizen couldn't buy one within the US, unless you where offering such an amazing deal
