Not flying over my head, totally in Beginner's Mode, controller was pointed at P3, did not fly behind buildings (there aren't any to fly behind). It was about 25' away at most and even once I landed it, restarted everything, reconnected, it lost signal before i had even taken off again. Not sure how the camera video could be separate from the phone video, but it didn't record anything but a single frame, which I can't even view because it's just a blurry thumbnail on the app under the videos. Aircraft control was fine. But I am trying to resolve this so that I am able to shoot video - otherwise this thing is really just a toy...
First off, I'm also an old timer from Maine too. You said you had the controller pointed at the P3. Was the antenna tip also pointed at it? If so, you don't want to do that, don't know if that would cause your problem, but surely won't help. When flying your P3 your antenna should be tilted towards the right on your remote. Myself I have my antenna tilted at about 2 o'clock. Also, are you flying around or behind any trees? As for viewing the video, did you take the SD card out of the camera and put it your computer to view? |
