Can someone tell me where the step by step instructions are for live streaming from P3 Professional, and do you need to purchase anything additional? The DJI GO app just came out (looks like it upgraded automatically to my iOS devices) and it mentions live streaming as well.
What about the 5.8Ghz used by your TX. Doers it not limit the range of your TX if you also use the 5.8Ghz in Wifi ???

This is my second post along with a few others like myself who are looking for a step by step procedure on how to set up everything to live stream with your P3P and have yet to see anything even close. You Tube has no good video's on this subject and DJI sucks when it comes to putting out a definitive video for Live Streaming. I am trying to work with my local law enforcement and be able to show those in charge how this all works but until I can do it myself, I am keeping my mouth shut. So yeah, I need some serious help and consideration. thanks in advance for any help
The P3 only uses 2.4Ghz for video and control.... No such a thing as 5.8Ghz on the P3. except for the standard.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, but here is my problem/concern. I live way out in the country and do not have cell phone reception at all. Am I correct in assuming that you must have Cell Phone Reception in order to Live Stream? Here is an example of what I could potentially be facing. Let's say I get a phone call to show up and assist the county Sheriff's Department to do a fly over some property for whatever reason. They want to see what is going on down below but the property is way out in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone reception. Now they have asked that I Live Stream the fly over so that several law enforcement persons can all see the fly over at the same time and in real time. What can I do to accomplish this?
Thanks ever so much for your help.

Well you have some issues to overcome to get this to work
1. You will need to have your streaming device connected to the Internet at speeds fast enough to keep up with a live feed.
a. You are in a remote area that may or may not have cell service
b. If so is the connection fast enough to transmit said feed live
c. If not, then in an emergency situation you will need to locate a nearby residence within the p3's range of the property to fly over and obtain permission to access the Internet and connect your streaming device. May not be possible.
In conclusion, to stream the feed live you obviously need to be connected to the Internet in some way to send the data. There is no other option short of having a military grade drone capable of satellite direct connection . They may just have to settle for a non live feed. In other words fly over the property, return quickly, and upload said footage to YouTube or designated server via a computer already connected. The only other option is for you to install the new hdmi out board, them to be near you during flight, and display the video in a command center to a tv so they can see it. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

As iamwood stated in this string, safe compass calibration helps a lot. My p3p went nuts two times in a roll when I calibrated on the street in front of my house. Since then I travel to a empty lot about a mile from my house and do a compass cal. I have flown in front of my house a few dozen times since then and it flew flawlessly.
