Yes to this! Additionally, after closing all apps, restart (power down, power up) your iPad and you should be good.

You can switch flying modes using the switch on the top left of your RC. There's F, A, and P. "When in P-mode, your Phantom will automatically switch from P-GPS to P-OPTI when the GPS signal is not sufficient. And, it'll switch to P-ATTI when neither GPS or Vision Positioning are available...

GPS in an iPad (i.e. the WiFi + Cellular model of an iPad) would be needed for the Follow Me mode and for updating your Home Point (if you move around). Other than that, on a P3, not much else that makes GPS an imperative feature, IMO. You can cache your maps in advance and if you have the...

Awesome! I'm in Lansing and generally fly a Phantom 3 Professional. I don't have anything for sale, but I'll keep you in mind if/when I do!

It's most likely a combo of shutter speed and camera vibration. You'd want to get a prop balancer (relatively inexpensive) to balance the props.

Strange - does your gimbal visibly shake a little bit when you film, possibly from the ND filter's weight throwing it off? What ND filters are you using? Do your gimbal vibration dampers need replacement? Are the props balanced? What frame rate and what shutter speed are you shooting at...

An iPhone 5S is going to strain pretty hard when droning, so you're going to drain battery at a faster-than-normal rate (there's lots of hardware in the phone working away when you use the DJI GO App and 5S hardware is a little bit underpowered for the task). You can try a battery pack added on...

Wish it would, but it doesn't! It may say it's charging for a second, right after you plug in, but then it will stop.

Thank you!

Thanks, and yes, that was pretty accurate on how it all went down!

I can understand your frustration as this technology can be very finicky. You're saying everything works fine on your S5 phone? If it works on the phone, I'd say all things drone-related are likely fine and it's the tablet - I'd either just use the phone, or try matching settings from phone to...

Are you sure you can't still save video to the memory card? If you can move the gimbal, it's probably not a gimbal issue, but double-check your cable and ribbon connections. Try changing image transmission channels as well and moving the RC antennas around. Are you updating RC firmware through...

You're welcome. I'm not personally versed in those exact specs you list, but I Googled around and it seems you're not alone - 6.0.1 and DJI GO apparently don't play nicely on some devices (multiple people getting same issue you are having). I'd make sure you have everything up to date (Android...

Also, what mobile device and OS are you using? Are you transmitting over wi-fi or through the DJI controller and a USB cable (ideally, do the latter)? Make sure you have plenty of space available to cache the streamed video and that you don't have a bunch of other Apps open. You may want to...

Look into changing the channel in image transmission settings in the DJI GO App (HD icon). Your choices are 13-20 and also bumping down the transmission quality. "Auto" sometimes is not the best option. You may have to manually pick a strong'ish channel and stick with that. If you are near...
