    Takeoff Flyaway

    Thank you for your suggestions. I am a Mac user and with macOS 10.15 Catalina, the primary functions of iTunes has been spun out into separate Music, TV, and Podcasts apps. Simply put iTunes no longer exists in the format and function suggested in the suggestion from moderator Meta 4. However in...

    Takeoff Flyaway

    I purchased a brand new Phantom 3 Standard in early 2016 just after the Phantom 4 entered the market. During that time I have never had an issue with the aircraft. I am a casual user, flying my drone primarily in the summer months. After flying it this past summer several times, I was going to...

    Gimbal Overload

    Harpo - if you ever get to mid-Michigan I want you to call me because I'm going to buy you a beer. I have had three phone calls with DJI support; I have been all over Youtube looking and the internet looking for a solution; and I did a firmware upgrade as a final attempt. I had just called DJI...

    Gimbal Overload

    Thank you for your time Weston. There was some interference but I am not knowledgeable enough to know if the interference is significant enough to affect the aircraft. Sounds like I will be taking my aircraft to the repair shop. Again thank you for your help.

    Gimbal Overload

    Weston Ney- I checked the gimbal for grass or any other debris, but did not find any. I connected my drone to the controller and went to the settings on my DJI Go app. I reentered the gimbal setting and then clicked on the Gimbal Auto Calibration and waited for the gimbal to recalibrate. Then I...

    Gimbal Overload

    I had a gimbal overload error message on startup with my P3 Standard today. The aircraft rolled to its side before I could shut the aircraft down. I read one of the gimbal overload threads on this issue which suggested cleaning the gimbal. If there are any Lansing or Saginaw, Michigan area...

    Is this an issue?

    Thank you all for your replies and for relieving my angst. I can't believe I just saw that piece of tape after nearly a year of ownership.

    Is this an issue?

    Just came into the house after flying my P3 aircraft and as I was packing it up in its case I noticed ?, perhaps a gasket showing a small portion of itself on the underside of my gimbal bracket (see arrow on image? Is this something to be concerned about? I have never seen this before and I try...

    Cannot Connect To My Aircraft

    Thank you both for your suggestions. As I was about to attempt both of your suggestions, and after seeing my P3 name appear on my iPhone's available network menu, I clicked on the P3 network name and much to my surprise the password box appeared. I entered the default password and I was connect...

    Cannot Connect To My Aircraft

    I have a P3. Using DJIGo on my iPhone X. Received a message to update the firmware. Turned on my remote controller. Turned on the aircraft battery (it was fully charged). Went to the network settings on my iPhone X and chose "phantom 3_xxx". Either the DJI app or the iPhone would not produce a...

    Safe Flight Conditions

    I am a new pilot living in Michigan. I read the "Flying Conditions" section in the P3 User Manual but did not see any specifics about air temperature flying conditions. Obviously inclement weather is not suitable for flying but my question is "what would be the lowest air temperature that I...

    Would the Wetsuit offer a P3 Standard the same benefits in snow?

    Compass Calibration

    Thank you all for your helpful links and information. Two follow-up questions: 1) Is the following statement accurate: "The aircraft GPS only finds locations such as my RTH location at launch and the compass helps the aircraft navigate to that GPS location"? 2) The last few times I have launched...
