    P3P Camera off center

    Thank you. I think one of the components I bought was from that site. I had to replace the yaw motor as the ribbon cable to it was burnt. The yaw motor was only $16 but the magnetic ring was not positioned correctly so after taking it apart and moving the ring and putting it back together to...

    P3P Camera Misalignment

    Sorry I'm late getting here, I crashed and almost burned mine up. Burned the main ribbon cable, gimbal main board and the ribbon cable on the yaw motor. After buying parts from different places I have it mostly working. I had a hard time trying to align the magnetic ring. I've had a 2nd new...

    P3P Camera off center

    My old yaw motor and the new one looks like the magnet is pressed on. I would have to study to figure out the precise orientation of the ring and not sure I would be able to do that. I would almost send my drone to you to see if you could get it going. Supposed to have another yaw motor in...

    P3P Camera off center

    It is the ring on the shaft. I read that it was very brittle and would break if a little force was applied and that is true. Here is my old one that I replaced when the cable burned in two. The ring is no longer in place but part of it is still hanging on to the shaft. The best I could...

    P3P Camera off center

    I know it has been over 2 years but I just replaced my gimbal main board, the ribbon cable for the gimbal assembly and the yaw motor and all works fine but the camera centers to the left or right. Have checked everything I have read on all related posts and was wondering if a new yaw motor...

    Johnny Law

    Haven't tried trespassing and know most of the local law enforcement here and some game wardens. On at least 2 or 3 occasions that I recall at the moment I was given permission or ask to by law enforcement to fly over public crowds and send them photos. One even had me facebook live it starting...

    Phantom 3 se repair parts help.

    My most recent crash with a P3P one of the ribbon cables from the camera to inside the drone was damaged. One of the eight wires in the ribbon got pulled out of the end of the cable connector. With a magnifying glass and tiny pliers was able to push it back into place.

    Sky Phantom won't pair with controller

    Not sure if this will help. A link to a hobby shop that sells them. They have a FAQ tab and a link to a customer service team I believe for that product. Edit: I found that with google, there may be more helpful links out there.

    Remote Control and P4 will not turn on

    I'm still sort of new and have a P3, I know it is different than P4. On P3 you have to press button then press and hold to turn on/off the remote/drone. Is it the drone or the control going dark?

    Phantom 3 Pro. Compass error. Exit GPS mode. ,after rebuild

    Update: Good news, not sure if it was the connection or the new compass. I checked the connection and unplugged/plugged in a few times and decided to put the previous compass back on. Took it out for a test and the problem is gone and looks and flies like new out of the box.
