    Had my crack fix today...

    So after 47 successful flight I discovered I had cracks on both rear arms, so now what? I could send it in and wait 2 months or I could open her up and see for myself the extend of the damage. I live in Cape Town and unfortunately there is no dji here, so I took the plunge and opened her up...

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded intermittent error since 1.2.0

    No do not leave the file on and from what i know they say there has not been any battery updates! No idea why it went away, the only other thing i did was a cold imu calibration!

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded intermittent error since 1.2.0

    Well this is quite strange, I got the warning on every single flight since I did the update, got my third battery on Friday and have since had 4 flights, and for some strange reason I don't get the warning any more! Happy :)

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded intermittent error since 1.2.0

    I have the same warning all the time, tonight I took her out with the first flight on my third battery, funny thing is I had a 12min flight and did not get the warning once!

    P3 used in water rescue

    I was flying at the beach last weekend, a lady came up to me and said that her son has been out surfing for over 2 hours now and that she can't see him anymore, she then asked if I will be so kind to fly to behind the breakers and see if I could spot him. He was wearing a black and yellow...
