    Another battery dropout

    I have 4 TB-48's and this has already happened to one of them. I had one that was fully charged at takeoff. I then landed with 61%. About 15 min later, I resumed the flight and it went from 52% to 3% in less than 2 min. I did not turn off the rig between flights. I was lucky and didn't crash...

    Another battery dropout

    Just as a follow up from a previous post, I noticed this on the DIJ forum: http://forum.dji.com/thread-19602-1-1.html It shows a takeoff with a battery at 94%, then 6:28 into a flight, battery goes from 50% to 7% instantly. Here's a direct link to the video that shows the flight recorder and...

    LANDING MATS (PORTABLE LZ MAT)

    Do you have a link for this table? The only ones I see on Amazon are $70+ Heading to the beach next week and would love to take off from an elevated table instead of the sand!

    Flight recorder playback w/stats

    Yes, that happens on Android as well - so you only get the map and none of the data. It doesn't do anything to show/hide that extra line of info.

    <50% batt life to 3% instantly experiment

    I mentioned in my previous post that I went from 61% to 3% in about a min and a half. Then, when I landed (safely by the skin of my teeth!), the battery reported 55%. I rarely will fly on a less than 100% charge, but in this particular case, I wanted to get up as fast as possible to catch a...

    Flight recorder playback w/stats

    Hi all - hoping for a little guidance, if possible. I have the most current Android version of the Pilot App. In some of the videos I've seen, I notice the battery level, altitude, distance, etc under the main header of the app during playback. During my playback, I don't see this...

    <50% batt life to 3% instantly experiment

    Okay, understood - but after months of these things being in the air, why are we just now seeing this behavior occur?

    Well It Finally Happened - Crash With Video

    I'm just had a very similar flight - battery at 61%, warning, then rapid descent. I was able to land the rig safely, but it scared the s* out of me. Kinda unrelated - I see on your flight recorder that you have a line with distance, battery stats, alt, etc. That doesn't show up on my app for...

    <50% batt life to 3% instantly experiment

    I saw this exact behavior today. I took off at 61% and flew to 200 feet up and 300 feet out when I got the same critical battery message. The rig started to fall out of the sky - and FAST. I was over the water and it was all I could do to pull it back to me and keep it in the air. Basically it...
