    Compass error

    This is happening to me too. I did get a gimbal overload message and since that day, this keeps happening. My AC keeps disconnecting. The only way it works is is I keep the camera pointed down at the ground...then I don't get the compass error. I guess it's going to make a trip to DJI for...

    About to become a big pain

    I din't know if this is an obvious one... but be careful taking off from the beach/sand. The gimbal does a few rotations when it starts up and it buried itself in the sand and overloaded the gimbal. Not the end of the drone but I do have to send it back. When I first started flying from the...

    Help... lost my P3... what now?

    so sorry on the loss of your phantom. I hope you are able to replace it. I crashed my first P3S on my 4th flight. I replaced it and bought DJI refresh so that in the event of a crash while I am learning the ins and outs, it won't be so bad. I learned a lot from your loss and all the analysis...

    what are the chances of DJI fixing my drone under warranty

    I'm sure I did something wrong... when I researched how to upload the DJI flight log, I followed the direction but it just looks like some type of code. What happened was I got a low battery warning so I brought it in but it said I still had 36 % battery so I played around with it just a little...

    what are the chances of DJI fixing my drone under warranty

    I honestly don't know if it was my error that it crashed or malfunction. I claimed that it seemed to me to be a malfunction and sent it back to DJI as it is still under warranty. What experiences have you had with DJI fixing it under warranty? TIA cc

    I crashed my drone this morning

    That sucks that you crashed your P3. I crashed my son’s about a month ago. It took off to RTH, got tangled in some tree branches and hit the pavement hard. It was only my 4th flight. I was goi g to just take the loss but decided to send it back to DJI since it is still under warranty and see...

    Two pilots, one drone?

    I did hear that it is no longer required yet on the FAA website, it seemed like it was required. So annoying. Thanks for answering. cc

    Two pilots, one drone?

    I want to fly a new drone that I bought for my son. I crashed his original one, which he had registered with the FAA under his name back in December 2016. Now I want to register the new one so that I can fly it and be in compliance. It is his drone though... so will he be legal to fly this...
