1.5 - I have not gone past 1.3 DOh

Something must have gone wrong with the mod. I have done so many mods with batteries I have lost count. Theoretical advantages never translate to real life figures. That is why I am not jumping up and down thinking I have found a solution. It is hard to understand why sometimes certain battery...

Nice flight

Ed - it is basically a multistar 6600 Hobbyking pack split. We have tried a few experimental changes. Not sure if we can replicate the benefits so going to do more testing. It appears to give 40 minutes of flying time

57500 feet - 10.9 miles Horizon Terminator boosted with battery mod. Weather starting to improve in the UK

You need to update the firmware of the aircraft and RC controller so they match - possibly to the latest version you are happy with

Sometimes you will get a ESC error if the FW version on the board is a mismatch to the rest of the components such as lightbridge, camera and transmitter. It reports esc error and can be misleading. not saying this is the case in your scenario but it has happened to me

To superimpose the data onto the video would require a fair amount of processing power. It would require the video to be rendered with the data on the fly onto the memory card. A big ask. On dashware a 30 minute flight takes 3-4 hours to ender on a I7 pc so I can see that DJI are not going to...

I agree with jack1144. The P3 was a giant evolution from the P2. The P4 is a gentle refinement of the P3. If you don't have the P3 you will not miss the P4 as you will appreciate the engineering that has gone onto the P3. If you have the P3 and love the features you will appreciate the P4 for...

I would be careful. The cable above taps power from a DJI battery to another device. This does not mean that you can use the same route to charge the P4 battery. As part of the power mods that we have been experimenting there is a Intelligent module that switches the charge cycle off if you...

NaimNatNod - this is a very helpful gesture. Thank you for taking the time to share the codes for the benefit of others.

Did a terminator vs maxrange unboosted range check at 12.66 miles. The terminator locked onto the P3 and was able to start motors and get video (signal was patchy). Maxxrange did not lock on to the P3 (no green light on Tx). This is not conclusive. However this is the closest test we could do to...

They are not destroyed but once one of the cells dips to 3.0V you don't want to trust that pack. We might put it though a couple of charge cycles. Dirtybum - we didnt get the initial charge cycle. This flight where the batteries shut off was a standard flight but batteries started to dip...

Well I wanted to see what it would be like to have a second man starting a copter at a remote location, establish link and fly it towards me. That way the signal was always going to get stronger. When the copter was powered it established a link at full bars on the boosted terminator antenna...
