Eh fellow Canadian,
I left you a note in the thread on the other phantom drone forum , did you read it?

You had asked:
I do not have an iOS device. Anyone knows where to find the "Hardware Encoding" option on an iPhone or an iPad, I'll be glad to add it to THE guide.


, Yesterday at 1:54 PM

It's not in the device, but under General Settings, Enable Hardware Decode, In the Go App. ;-)

Ok, go get your awesome guide updated...

Thanks again. . .

Great job. Thank you very much, Sir.

Took out the "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

P.S. Flying season is almost here for me so stay tune for updates to THE guide.

P.P.S. In case you are wondering (I'm sure you are not ), I'm not getting a P4.
       I'm very satisfied with my P3P. The P4 is way too expensive for what it
       brings extra over the P3P. But hey, that's my personal opinion.

Tomas,
Thanks again for all your hard work, this really has been a great aid....
Curious if DJI found a way to get you a P4 would you be inclined to put something like this tutorial guide together for it?

DJI...are you listening/lurking?

Good idea.

Hey DJI, get me a P4 for free and I will update THE guide for the P4 version.

Nice work, Fant0mas!  I do have a question on something you wrote, though.  Specifically, wi-fi only tablets and pre-loading maps before you go out.  If your table has GPS, it should load up the current location map, wherever you are, right?

Fant0mas,
I am totally rooting for you here,
Your manual helps many beyond other resources available and has been read by thousands...Surely DJI can assist with this..not to mention the traffic your sites get that show their products....Surely your holding a P4 instead of your PP will be positive for their sales....

DJI...I know you are here....Where are you hiding.

Yep, but only if your tablet is connected to a mobile network or Wi-Fi either on location or by using the tethering of your phone.

Hi FantOmas,

I just discovered your Guide. Beautiful. Thanks for all your work. It's a pity that users have to do what DJI should have done from the beginning. Thanks again....

I have gone through at a glance all of your GUIDE and I could not find the information I am looking for. Under MC Settings in the GO App, there is a setting called Home Point Settings. I would appreciate detailed information concerning these settings. I just hope I didn't miss it in your GUIDE.

Remote Controller calibration -> RC Settings/RC Control Settings/RC Calibration/Calibrate.
- Verify that all of your previous settings are still set. You'll want to do this while your Phantom is turned ON and
your remote controller is connected to the DJI App via your mobile device. This is important since many of the
settings are saved on the Phantom itself. Check Video Settings/Camera Settings/Failsafe mode/
RTH altitude/Max Alt/Gimbal, Speed/Expo/Gain/Low-Critical Battery Warning …

"Remote Controller cannot be calibrated while connected to the aircraft.

Obviously - you have nothing better to do with your time.  Haven't read through it all, and already found an error........  Geez dude!  

In all seriousness, anything you do like this is going to have some things that need fixing.  This is well done and fairly comprehensive for what I can see.  I've been around a while but being able to reference and refresh my feeble old mind is a good thing.

Bought you a cup of coffee.  Thanks.

That guide was written 9 months ago, a lot has changed since then, particularly the way that the aircraft, RC unit and software is updated. It may well have been true at the time.

Like I said, this is not something that anyone is going to get everything exact until morons like me find errors and report them.  This particuler one is 3 days old.

no worries - it will get fixed I'm sure.

Thank you - so helpful.

Is Fantomas"The Help Guide for the Phantom 3" available somewhere still?

The links below are failing.
