    Thankfully it is freshwater and I have two other batteries. But, first I have to find it.... and that is proving more challenging than I expected but I don't give up easily and after snapping daylight pics from approximately where I was standing when it crashed, I have tried to reconstruct the...

    I was just thinking the exact same thing! There's already one under the tree for our adult son.... hmmmm.... ;-)

    Well..... Tuesday night, flush with enthusiasm from having gotten the picture taking ability squared away and wanting to get pictures of our house lit up for Christmas, I went outside, fired up the P3P and cautiously gained altitude to clear some tall trees on our waterfront. I've done it before...

    I'm fairly good in figuring out mechanical and even electrical issues.... to a point. However, this P3P is so small, the components very difficult for me to even see. I have looked at that ribbon and it looks like it has a protective plastic coating that is lifting off in a couple of places but...

    I tried without an SD card and I tried a different cable and still no joy on the camera function. I noticed on the DJI site that the IOS update is v.3.1.13 and the Android version is 3.1.8... and in looking at my screens it shows I have 3.1.8 even though my phone is definitely an iPhone 15 with...

    Update: I formatted the SD card and had another go at it when the rains passed thru. Although quite breezy, I managed to snap a dozen or so photos and shot some film. It all came out fine. There was some pesto-bismal colored lines running thru some of the film, not sure why.... but most of the...

    Thanks for responding Rod. Until this morning, I had been having difficulty even getting the "Camera" button to appear on DJI Go app on my phone. I was wired into the wrong USB port on the RC(my bad); when I tried to take pictures inside, it took reasonably normal clarity, focus colors, etc...

    Well..... unjustified exuberance. Even though I had success getting the camera command to populate on my phone when connected in sequence as per instructions, the drone is not sending camera signal to the RC & Phone. As well, when I took video, it was really garbled mixed in with some mostly...

    Ok, I think I have it figured out... with the newer iPhone 15, the connections I made on the controller were a daisy chain of connectors to get the new type connected to my phone. the old style USB port is the ONLY port that works, the other, small Micro Port shows in the manual as 'reserved' so...

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I will check settings but the DJI Go app is just not showing the camera view in the screen of my iPhone 15, which, when I called DJI back in 2020 trying to get it sorted out, they said the iPhone 12 I had at the time was not compatible and to get an old phone (I...

    Greetings from Florida. I'm a 63 year old retiree with a Phantom 3 Pro I have had for years but was not flying it much when I was working. After retiring I tried to fly it 2-3 years ago but could not get the connection to my iPhone 12 to work where I could see where I was going. It will fly and...
