I don't want to start a new thread so I am going to bump this one. I have a few people in town giving me offers to take pictures with my Phantom 3 for them, and I might try and take the Part 107 test. How hard is the test and how long did you guys study for it? Was it worth the $150? Any...

Hi, I am looking to buy a storage backpack for my phantom 3 standard and I would like to see if any of you guys have any used or old backpacks that you would like to sell. I'm getting sick of using the box that it originally came in, and I don't want to pay $100 to get one brand new. It doesn't...

Last night I was recording fireworks with my 3 standard and through the whole video there's red flickers all over the screen. Do you know of a way that I can edit the video so that they go away, or a setting I can put my camera on before I do it next time?

I'm seeing throughout this thread that it might cost $250 or it could cost $6800. Which one is it?

Do any of you guys know of a way that we can find out where we'll be able to take the test at?

I have just skimmed over this thread so I could be wrong, but drone owners will now be able to make money with their drones as long as they pay for and pass a test?

And by vibration do you just mean vibration in videos and pictures?

I've never heard of balancing props until seeing this thread. Is it bad that I've never done it?

Is there any chance it has water damage? About a week ago I got too low on a lake and soaked my camera but the rest of the drone stayed dry. The way you described yours was the exact way mine was acting before I dried the camera out in rice for a few days.

Not to be a jerk but the p3s has been about $450 on Amazon lately.

This is very very off topic but I have a question based on a couple comments I saw. How do people know what places are no fly zones and when a person is safe to fly?

I haven't had my drone for long but here's a video I made at my lake cabin today.

To anybody that was following this thread, I took my drone for a short flight this morning and it works perfectly! All I did was put a fan on the gimble for a few hours and then let the gimble sit it a bowl of rice for a few days and it worked great. After I took the gimble out of rice it took...
