Dual Battery Mod
Anytime I hear about a phantom 3 falling from the sky, it always ends up being because they flew on a partially discharged battery . DJI can't help it if they tell people to fully charge their batteries before every flight and customers don't listen
in my experience a tail wind will only help you go faster if you are flying in Atti mode, otherwise I believe the drone will just fly more efficiently.
You should stop complaining so much, let your battery warm up to 24 degrees celsius before you take off, I have not been "crippled" at all by my battery during cold weather. Keep in mind that DJI has a stated operating temperature which you should not fly when it is colder than that or at least you should not complain if you do.
why don't you just go buy a nitro rc plane or heli if you are so unhappy with DJI? Did you read page 19 of the manual? I read the manual before I made my purchase, so I could make an informed purchase.Ok so now "bulging" is the reason for all this.
No they cant but Thats a bad design flaw if you ask me especially when they cost so much. If I want to go out and fly with say 70% battery charge, i shouldnt have that worry in my mind its ridiculous!!
It is not a design flaw, it is the nature of these high discharge rate lipo batteries. If you don't like it you can either fly a nitro rc as I mentioned before or wait until the next type of battery tech is developed to surpass lipo technology. DJI is not to blame.
Do you work for dji mate!! stop banging on "if you dont like it get a rc blah blah blah"! No I dont like the price you have to pay which is down to dji being greedy ba****ds!! The battery problem is slighty annouying but not enough to put me off owning a dji product or purchasing another one in the future but with the development of drones im sure another company will pip dji with regards to price and possibly quality in the future and I certainly wouldnt be loyal to dji.
I don't know how the companies in China work, but in the United States if a company is publicly traded it is a law for them to do what is best for the company financially. So for example if a company discovered a major flaw in a vehicle and they are able to calculate that a recall would cost more than paying off some victims, then they would be required to keep everything quiet and pay off the victims. That to me is the definition of greed, money at the expense of a customers life or well being. DJI is not in my opinion any worse than any other company that is trying to make money. They have to research, develop, advertise, pay employees, etc. I bet it only cost DJI $35 to manufacture each battery but the other costs the company has which are not directly related to batteries have to be covered as well. I know a lot of people will easily pay $3 for a soda at a restaurant or $1.50 at the gas station but the cost of the product they are consuming is probably only $0.15, what is the difference? No I don't work for DJI and I don't drink soda either haha.
A lot of people never had the problem, but clearly some did. My theory is that it largely depends on how heavy your fingers are. If you push a cold P3 hard towards the bottom have of the charge cycle, you risk dropping below voltage minimums and you risk dropping the P3 out of the sky. If you don't push the controls hard, you're OK. I fly mine like a bus, not a sports car since I'm using it as a camera.
