    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware & DJI GO App Question

    I never had my P3 forced to upgrade. They make it look like you have to upgrade, but don't do it. They don't make any upgrade for P3 anymore. Calibration has nothing to do with upgrading. There are a lot of online hacks for the P3's. Have fun.

    P4 remote fix works great.

    I had mine very neat. I put my 3 resistors together (to make an 80k) very close in a straight line from battery to v cell. The 100k came from the lead going to v cell to ground. Resistors wires are very stiff and stay in place off the board and under the top cover.

    P4 remote fix works great.

    I have had remote battery problems in the past. I did the heat gun fix. It worked for a while then I had to do it again. That lasted a few years. I like taking out my P4 once in awhile. It flies like a luxury car dŕives compared to my mini 3 pro. The power and the handling is fun. I went to fly...

    Powers Lookout

    Wow, you inspire me. I like stealth. The less people know I'm there, the better. But it seems like my P4 flies like a Cadillac drives. It seems so smooth and easy to handle. At the moment I'm having a bad battery in the controller thing going on. I have fixed it 2x in the past. I'll fix it...

    Just my dumb input on the knowledge. Knowledge is power. If you don't know how to use that POWER, you can blow yourself up. Wisdom is the ability to use power in a controlled way.

    New use for old drone

    I enjoy seeing your works. Do either scene with the Aurora Borealis and you can call it, "Canadian wildfire".

    Hello from the Ruby Mountains

    I have had many drones. Now, I use my P4s a little. I like the feel of flying it. It is my fishing drone. I like flying my mavic mini pro 3. So small and capable of doing so much. The thing I like most, is it's Stealth abilities. I don't care for people knowing I am in the area flying. Less...

    Hello from the Ruby Mountains

    You would go crazy if you had one of the newer models. Lol. Did you get a charger with it?

    That was sooo beautiful and well filmed! I like your style and guts. It makes for a good video. I liked especially how close you get to the rocks. The texture and depth come through well as you circled around.

    What are the 4 spring loaded pins in the battery compartment?

    I hope I remember right. I had a p3 with no battery to test it. I used a power supply, but I had to use the electronics from a dead battery to keep it operating. Otherwise it would shut down. It worked for me. I got everything operating, then bought a battery and flew it.

    That is a great image of a dog tooth lily before it is totally open.

    I have never used Litchi. I like doing hands on and setting up things for photo opportunities. I few my P4 with El lights. I had navigation problems, so I wouldn't recommend doing it.
