I know your trying to be funny but c'mon man, your making me wear out the delete button.
Last chance here, this has gotten old fast.

Talk about frustration. Still no update that works for me. Bummer.
I can only hope they have them files somehow reversed, I am going to try loading the Advanced firmware on my Professional.
What else can I do?

I'm glad my pro has 2.7 k resolution now. This is the update I've been waiting for . Right now it's only for Android but you ios guys should be getting it soon too!

Not that, unless my advanced is now a professional!

Painless update, which was my first time doing one btw. Deleted all video files off my sd card, dropped the bin file on it, put it in the phantom, turned it on, took under ten minutes to finish, powered off the phantom, took the sd card out and deleted bin file and put it back in the phantom, powered on, formatted the card, checked some settings that do need resetting back to my custom settings, all good. Did a flight, all great. Did not update the go app nor the rc update from a few weeks back.

Shockwave, did the FW update take care of your drifting? My update went as smooth as silk. The weather here is crap though so I didn't get a chance for a test flight and the next few days aren't looking good either.

I too had drifting problem with my P3A, have installed new FW but didn't get chance to try it in windy condition yet.

 

[Andrew Allsbury]

Ok seriously what is the point of adding 2.7k to the Pro without adding increased framerates to go with it? If the camera can handle 4k/30fps it can definitely handle 2.7k/48fps. Not impressed.

Has anyone had a chance to record yet and see if we got any compression improvements or added bit rate performance?

I had about 5mph winds when I checked it, not exactly windy enough to really put it to a good test. Although I did head up 200'and I'm sure it was more windy up there. All was perfect. I had the drifting so badly that it would actually fly like I was inputting roll, when winds were even 10mph. I also had a thing where if I ascended from 100' up higher it would actually add some yaw into it too. That seems to have ended too since updating earlier today. I haven't done an imu calibration and don't plan to. I was gonna do a compass calibration but I was in a parking lot and didn't want to do it there. So far so great. When I see it doing better in more winds, I'll be happy. I have read at least one person say their drifting has been cured now. Expecting the same here.

Excellent! That's what I was hoping to hear. My P3A would drift with zero wind. In order to fly straight sometimes I would have to constantly correct with the left stick, reminds me of flying my heli's but shouldn't have to do this with the P3.

All updated firmware, Go app. IMU calibration, gimbal calibration, RC stick calibration and compass calibration. Test flight with two batteries, range, video feed, way points, follow me and POI all worked great... Flawless! Also still have 32 channel.

I just tested mine in 20+ MPH wind and stayed steady on my P3P, but I haven't had that issue with the previous firmware.

My two cents: I was going to wait until enough people said the update actually worked before installing it, but today my Phantom wouldn't connect and told me it needed an upgrade. I grit my teeth and did it by the book, calibrated my IMU(for the first time), and then my compass in a place it has always worked, and took it for one of my longest flights ever. Worked like a charm.

 

[Andrew Allsbury]

Should you always do an IMU calibration and compass calibration after doing a firmware update?

I check if IMU calibration is needed before doing it. I do compass calibration at site if it's location is different than of last flying.

That's what I've heard. Opinions differ on when to calibrate a compass but it's pretty universally agreed that one should do so after updating firmware.

Ok since I'm on 1.4 I might try both things you said & will let you know outcome, my no signal issue goes something like this

It was after work & dark & breezy but I'm sure you'll get the picture, ps not looking for YT views & will delete vid shortly

Hi Ptr,
i had the exact same issue, even worse than yours, much worse.. i managed to fix this ugly video feed by removing ENTIRELY the app from my phone (folders and sub folders, cache ...). download the app from dji web site and reinstall it. you should give it a try.
On the other hand, i still have a really really poor radio transmission, there are some places where i cant even take off. all those issues came right after the 1.4 update, my P3P was doing perfectly in 1.3.2.

hope that will help you.
