It's all the same file data for aircraft, transmitter, and batteries. As for what it means and what it does exactly I don't know. It's not absolutely necessary to update. But I like all my stuff up to date, and I've had no problems in over 20 flights since latest firmware in November. Sent...

Check out YouTube. The best video in my opinion is from drone camps rc. Search dji phantom 3 firmware update complete tutorial. It's about 17 min. Long. I just picked up another new battery and had to watch it again because I couldn't remember how to do it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using...

Oh and on dji's site it's not "products" that you click on first it's now called "drones" that threw me off for a minute. Everything else is real straightforward. I have an advanced but I think it's the same for standard. Just make sure you click on the standard in "drones" for the download zip...

Hello all. I got the shell and have swapped everything over and put it back together. Just did my first test flight and everything worked perfectly. It was not as hard as I first thought. Hardest part was reconnecting the antennas and flex cables in sensor module. Not hard just tedious with not...

I've watched a few video's and feel real confident about doing it now. I should have all the tools. Might need to get some small torch drives though. Can't find mine. And I did just get it from dji for $59. About the same price on eBay and such. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using...

Thanks i did watch it and am going to give it a shot. Already ordered new shell. From everything I can tell all else seems to work. I turned it on with no errors or problems. Camera and gimbal all work. Started motors with no props on and everything works. Can't test with props since arm is bent...

So I hit a tree today. Pretty much all my fault. It got stuck in the top. Then it fell about 30 feet. It cracked and bent one arm. All else seems ok. So I need a new she'll of course, my question is should I send it to dji or can a replace the shell myself? I have basic knowledge but have never...

This is one reason I got my p3a. I'd love to hear of your success and or failures. I'm doing the same in remote mountains of colorado.

Wow what a crazy site! I read a few of the "sightings" and almost threw up in my mouth. These guys apparently know nothing of uav's or in most cases I read know nothing. Sites like this make me nervous for our future. only If it got real traction. Right now it's a joke. Most I read where not...

I like the idea of infrared camera, thanks I'll look into it. Like I said pretty much just getting started with this. Spit balling some ideas around.

I'm fairly new to all this. Learning fast. any body around the delta Montrose grand junction area? I'm in paonia, but will, want, And do fly anywhere. Just looking to share some knowledge and tips and make some good vids.

Looks close but being a pilot with my planes top speed being 220 knots I'd say it looks more like 150 mph ish. Great stuff however Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using PhantomPilots mobile app
