    Choppy video feed

    Took the P3S yesterday after updating the DJI go app and the video feed was really bad. It lagged, froze, etc. video on the ST card came out all right, but it made for a difficult filming. I had full signal on everything, and was maybe 100 yards out, but the feed was still choppy even 5 feet...

    Keeping phone charged while flying

    All my iPhones have always had bad battery drain when using GPS. Even if I use Waze, without a charger it would die within an hour. So just curious how others keep their devices charged or if they do while flying Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Keeping phone charged while flying

    I did a search and didn't find anything. Any recommendations for keeping a phone or tablet charged while flying? I seem to eat up battery power pretty quick while flying. I usually use my iPhone 6. Thanks in advance..... Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    How long between flights

    Thanks. Still new to this and didn't want to push something. Never saw anything mentioned, but figured it was worth asking Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    How long between flights

    If you have multiple batteries, how long do you wait between flights? Do you give your quad a rest? Or do you change the battery and go up again right away? Should the quad have a break between flights? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Anyone recommend a Phantom 3 Standard Case? under $100?

    The plastic scratches a bit, but nothing major. I've thought about peeling it but it has held up well. I suppose if it looked really bad I might peel it at that point. Holds everything great though as others have mentioned Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Electromagnetic interference

    So this disrupts all flight? I'm still learning all this. I would have thought in Atti mode I could have just gone up and come back as I was not going long range. Just literally over the boats and back down. So I guess the question is, I always need GPS to fly? Even if not going more than...

    Electromagnetic interference

    So I'm working the LA Boat show and was on the top level of the LA Convention center structure. We were staging boats there and I wanted to get an aerial view of the boats. I kept getting an error that there was too much electromagnetic interference and I needed to move and calibrate the...

    Charging between flights

    I did a search and didn't see this, so..... I flew last night just for a few minutes to show the family the new toy. I was at 92% when I landed. I would think that is enough to to fly today (not flying far, just practicing). Do you charge to 100% every time? I don't mind recharging, but if...

    Follow me mode

    The location in google maps looks pretty accurate. So this is based on the location of the phone? If I were to use an iPad mini, non cellular kind, I couldn't use this feature at all? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Follow me mode

    So I was trying to get the P3S into follow me mode, and it kept giving me a message about GPS not strong enough. I had 11 satellites and it would not go. Using the DJI app and an iPhone 6. Anyone know if I'm missing something?? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Anyone recommend a Phantom 3 Standard Case? under $100?

    Got mine from gearbeast today, can't complain, not bad overall. Just had to unscrew the phone holder for it to fit. 50 bucks shipped, took about two and a half weeks Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
