Put your props in hold luggage just to be safe, I've seen some people have them taken off them as they could be used as a weapon. When j travelled from London to Milan I put the batteries in plastic zip lock bags and taped over the connector just to be safe and also depleted the batteries...

You make a good point! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Too many opinions not enough facts. Hold off on the accusations. We need to see data so we can really see what caused this crash and we can then see if it's something that might effect us. Till then, fly the same you way you have done for months/years. Have fun and safe flying :) Sent from...

A lot of people have mentioned good stuff but there's no point us arguing over this as we don't know the circumstances of the ops flight due to no flight data. So until we know what the data is we can't be sure what it is! Has anyone checked to see if the ops been active recently? Sent from...

So maybe the op wasn't on the latest firmware and therefore that was the cause of this incident? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I see! But surely the error has been solved in recent updates? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

May I ask out of curiosity as to why you shouldn't fly your phantom with a battery that isn't 100%... That's like saying guys don't use your tablet unless it's 100% it might just die randomly because well you didn't charge it? Makes no sense. 100% or 50% the volts should be consistent...

So a "flyaway" is a term used for a wide range of examples where a quad flys off in one direction without the operator telling the device to? Correct? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Syma x8w then P3s then P3a!! Still have my Syma as a RC toy and it's great fun Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I had a near fly away the other day, interference caused the quad to pop in and out of P-GPS to Atti mode causing the quad to drift with the wind! I was able to bring it home because I knew how to fly manually without GPS. If your new I can't stress enough how important it is to know how to...

I used to own a P3s and this was my modded controller. The mods I did where the ITElite DBS and the P3 adv/pro tablet mount :) Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I use Final Cut Pro X on my old 2012 MacBook Pro 13" laptop! Works fine for me, premier is also good but it's a bit more confusing to a new editor. My advice would be get the trials of FCPX, premier, Vegas (that's if your on PC) and give them all a go and find out which one you feel most...

Large SD cards are a bad idea (coming from a TV & Video university student) as like someone mentioned above you can loose a whole day's work from a crash or even the SD card corrupting (which happens more than you think) 16GB is perfect for drone footage because if you only have one battery the...

I think he meant he just wants the device that he bought and not some old version DJI just shipped him... New motors or old doesn't matter. What matters is that he hasn't received HIS original phantom which he sent to get repaired! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
