Hey Joolz, all good advice here. I'll say the same as some of the others. Get used to the RTH function, and don't be afraid to use it. Know where the icon is on your screen and test it out. You can always cancel the RTH when drone is back where you want it. Always take off in a clear space so if...

Oscar, reading your previous posts, I can tell you're a very cautious new pilot. I wasn't and crashed second flight out. Cost me dollars. A lesson well learnt. I trust RTH setting as its never let me down. Goes out of range, RTH kicks in, up to 30mts altitude, straight home Everytime. As long as...

Sounds like most likely or probable that one or more motors may have fried themselves when it was stuck in the tree and still trying to fly. Try turning each one by hand slowly when not powered on, and see if any have any binding issues. If no wires are damaged, may be a motor issue. Other than...

Your problem does seem to be pretty random. I use the auto take off at all times from the ground, not the hand, and haven't had any problems,...yet. But only been flying since beginning of year. Always take off in clear area, eg no trees too near, not big metal objects near by. This, I think is...

I wouldn't be changing any settings. If you got 800 ft and still had good signal, that's a bonus in my books. Higher the better, more fun and bigger the footage thrills. Just watch out for the other flying objects that might not like hitting a drone unexpectantly. Don't see extended altitude a...

Oh, and yes, good job on the repairs. I had to replace my antennas in the drone, main control board and camera/gimble assembly as well. Basically the cost was as much as initial cost of drone. But learnt a lot about how it all goes together and plugs in. Pulling the two halves of the drone body...

Yes, making sure the props are secure is most important. I've only been flying my P3S for 2 mths but only tighten them by hand holding the motors. Haven't had any issues yet, touch wood. Flying over water is not a problem. I've done several missions over water now and haven't had any issues...

Same. Just put new camera and central control board in mine and it sinced up no problem. Sounds like you have some other issue going on.

Sounds like sharpie is the way to go. Won't make props out of balance and good range of colours available. Go Mr artistic..........

You need to pull it fully apart to see what's going on. I crashed my drone really bad. Ended up replacing camera/gimble assembly completely and as I was trying to fit new antenna wires, found broken ribbon plug on control board as well. Had to replace central control board as well as camera. Not...

I'm waiting for new central circuit board to arrive, then will fit that in, reassemble body, and fit new camera/gimble assembly and hopefully, everything will sinc and I'm set. Fingers and toes crossed.....

I had same issue. Crashed P3S broke camera and complete gimble assembly off. Left nothing but two antenna wires and ribbon cable hanging. Wouldn't fly after that. Needs camera circuit board to sinc remote with drone as previously mentioned I reckon as well. I tried reconnecting ribbon to camera...

Hello. I have a question too. Couldn't find a thread that seemed to fit my content but this may do. Have had to buy a new central circuit board for my P3S. Will my controller easily sinc with the new control board? Oh, also had to buy new camera and gimble mount set up. P3S meet tree, meet road...

Thought as much. Right up there in the tech world Forsure.

Sounds like English is not their first language. Nice to see they are not hesitating in solving your problem. Battery warning Suss straight off the bat. Something not right there. Anyway, reassuring DGI onto problems we have promptly.
