If You are going to store your Videos on the I-Pad I would get the 128 ( not sure exact # ) gb model. If you are going to store on separate Hard Drive ( I do it this way ) than this is fine. I prefer the larger I-pad air or even the Pro, But to each there own. I am not sure about Registration in the UK. In the states we must Register with the FAA.
Please take your time and before doing any updates read all the Tips and Folow the Video Tutorials to the letter. I will even give you my list of tips to help in the future.
This Hobby is a lot of fun. Just dont get overconfident and fly smart. Make a checklist before each flight and follow it religiously.
Example: Batteries charged, props tight, failsafe height check, home point, channel clear , i pad volume Up ! Rc antennas correct position, remeber CSC not in flight !, Nuber of Satellites locked, GPS mode, Compass calibrated If necessary, check props again , and on and on. Make your own, these are but a few, make your own make a sheet of paper and laminate it.
Cheers and Mosly have Fun - donnie
Tips:
- After 1.3 the update FOR the Transmitter is NOT through the SD Card it is through The DJI go app and WI-FI connection.
-Always update the aircraft first-
-Make sure you download the proper firmware. If you have the Pro make sure not downloading for the Advanced or standard.
-Make sure you only download the Bin File to the FRESH FORMATTED SD CARD.
-Make sure transmitter is NOT on when downloading Firmware to aircraft ( VERY IMPORTANT)
-When installing SD with fresh firmware card in Aircraft make sure it is off. Then turn on aircraft, the firmware will then load.
-YOU CAN JUMP FROM 1.3 or 1.4 TO 1.6. I do not recomend it though. I think staying in order is better. Seems like it causes missed data.
-All the firmware numbers for the RC - aircraft- Go App - Camera WONT BE THE SAME . For example the current aircraft firmware is 1.6.0.40 but the RC Firmware is 1.5.70. A LOT OF FOLKS GET CONFUSED ON THIS (Including Yours Truly when first starting out.)
-Sometimes only the aircraft gets an update and not RC Transmitter Read the pdf on the downloads page so you know what’s going on for example 1.6.0.40 is only for the aircraft and batteries.
-Make sure to read what each update is effecting. For example 1.6.0.4.0 will require each battery to be updated as well. Keep Informed.
-Macs sometimes dont format SD cards well. When Formatting is in doubt FORMAT ON THE AIRCRAFT, go to camera settings on dji go app , open the tool icon , on bottom is Format SD card option
-Updates sometimes take a while, wait for the tone to change to d-dd d-dd d-dd d-dd d-dd d-dd d-dd or the green light even better.
-If you hear a long dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd it has failed.
-updating is not an option for just the aircraft, IF there is also an update at that time for the Transmitter you MUST do it.
-Updates for the Phantom Standard are Only Done through GO-App and Wi-Fi, no SD Firmware to upload.
- You cant Rollback the Battery Firmware once installed.
-When doing a Rollback, confirm the Current firmware on the Aircraft and then Rollback Firmware in Order. You can only rollback to 1.5 if at 1.6
