It is something like this...after logging in the WiFi password , the phantom device disappear from my phone screen. Seems like connection issue.

My friend have tried for 2 days and even consulted with the distributor but to no avail.

have you tried pairing it with other devices?

My friend is still working on it. Reading the reviews, Android based smartphone is not really compatible.
Maybe I get the Advanced model... rclxub.gif

To Phantom Advanced pilot,

Can I ask the short cable supplied in the box which hooked up between the controller and our tablet is of what type?
Say I am using iPad mini? Do I have to buy a separate cable?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Finally got my hand on Advanced model plus 1 extra battery today.
Now studying very hard the manual and all the materials supplied.

Checked for any missing parts or dents but of course there are none .
Hopefully can try out tomorrow.

Anyone can recommend a backpack costing less than RM200.00?

Thanks...

Hi fellows,

I am using iPad mini and when I download the app, it ask for my credit card details.

Thank you.

Just sharing.

Confirmed Apple is charging USD1 for the app. It is not free.
Tried the stimulator and the iPad get warm after few minutes.

Will try using Android later.

Hi fellow experienced pilots,

Today was my 1st trial of flying my drone and being a trial & error learning,I have committed few common errors.
1. forgot to take off the small foam protecting the gimbal/camera (did not notice it was even there)
2. it did not hover but overturned,
3. one of the propeller came off flying but harmlessly
4. did not understand properly the manual about the propeller marking e.g. the black colour top was meant to be screw to the black screw. I screwed all the 4 same colour (silver top) propellers..maybe this the reason it will not hover..

Then it ask me to upgrade the aircraft firmware otherwise it will be inconsistent and etc.

Now,watching the youtube tutorial on how to upgrade the firmware..

Anyone would like to comment or put in some suggestios to help inexperienced pilot here is very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

p.s. what is the name of the program that open the file after unzipping. My Window based lappie seems to lack this program.

Download DJI Assistant 2 and it will do everything for you once you connect your drone to the PC.

Sorry bout what happened but do read and watch tutorials bfore flying. Wrong rotation for two props(all silver props attached) that is why it overturn. Even though the props are self lock( meaning it will tighten when motors turned), but a good habit is to tighten the props by hand just a bit. There's a marking on each props, tighten and loosen so keep in mind about that.

OK. Thanks..

Hi guys,

Finally today managed to take off and landing smoothly.
Wah. .I am quite thrilled and happy with it..

Then a family bought in their black colour drone, maybe it is Solo but did not have a chance to exchange greeting as rain dropped in fast..

Hope can meet them up..

Good news!  rclxms.gif Once you're confident flying it, try atti mode sometimes. Helps a lot when there's no GPS connection. Then, play around with flight modes.  rclxm9.gif

Thanks for the encouragement.
But I might get the prop bumper guard. Hope it help to stabilise if it accidentally swipe with the branches.

Is it a good idea,guys?

just bit the bullet and got the phantom 3 advanced. started training to fly.

by the way, what bags do you guys use and where to buy? there're lots of bags on aliexpress but most look dubious quality. Any bags that you guys recommend? Hard or soft better?
