19 March 2018 Drones4Life Leave a comment

Some DJI models like the Phantom 4 Pro have a HDMI out, that is an easy way to connect a TV or other display to the video feed. But what if you don’t have that? What if you don’t even have a DJI drone? And what if you want to

Fix out of focus camera Phantom 3 standard

16 January 2018 Drones4Life 5 comments

For some reason some camera’s on the DJI Phantom 3’s are not properly focussed. This will result in blurry pictures and video. This is how your footage can look when your camera is somewhat out of focus. There is a fix, but that will require you to take apart your

Calibrate the controller of a DJI drone

29 December 2017 Drones4Life Leave a comment

Calibrating your controller is also important to do at times. You might notice jerky movements when jawing, or a slight drift to a side. drifting might also be caused by a bad IMU, check that first! this is how to calibrate the IMU But when you are sure the IMU

29 December 2017 Drones4Life 2 comments

Sometimes it is needed to calibrate your IMU. First, let me explain what an IMU is: An IMU is a unit which collects angular velocity and linear acceleration data and contains two separate sensors.  The first sensor is the accelerometer. This generates three signals describing the accelerations along each of its

I have been reading a lot about stress cracks in the body of the Phantom 3. There have been many, many posts about it, and there are also many different things in the market that all say they prevent cracks. I have been flying my Phantom 3 Standard a lot,

DJI has been releasing firmware updates for the whole range of their drones, and they have also updated their apps. Today I have flown with the new update 1.9.20 and the latest DJI Go app 3.1.12 for DJI Phantom 3. These are the results… Bear in mind, I have flown

25 May 2017 Drones4Life 65 comments

The Phantom 3 Standard is a great drone! but it is a bit of a problem to fly it far away. One thing that helps is to get a cheap range extender (windsurfer) as explained here With that windsurfer you can get it as far as 1km, but then you

*Update 02-jan-2018* We have all seen the cheap knockoffs of the original DJI battery for sale on the Chinese sites. I have read so many different things about them, and I thought I’d buy one myself to see how good or bad they really are. I have got mine from

Windsurfer for Phantom 3 Standard

8 May 2017 Drones4Life 3 comments

I have read a lot about the simple windsurfer mod, and since my range was not great I thought ordering one couldn’t hurt. In the stories I have read, most of the people that have fitted one reached close to a mile/1600 meters, comparing that to my 400m with stock,
