    I was able to fix one of my P3 batteries. Here's how: Set battery discharge to 1 day at least temporary so you don't have to wait days to fix Charge battery fully Let autodischarge take effect. Allow a couple days beyond days to discharge to be sure it reaches its end. Recharge fully After I...

    phantom 4 battery current status self discharging in storage

    Apparently not if a normal charge/use cycle cleared the message for the OP. I'm getting this message also under details for my P3. Admittedly I left them unused for some time where they showed one bar and wouldn't stay on. They did stay on after giving them a charge for a minute or two just to...

    Sand Key Park - Clearwater, FL

    I'd be interested in having that cleared up. I was flying my Mavic in the park in downtown Tampa by the river and was told all city parks were a no-fly zone. They were concerned about lawsuits. I just finished my 1st battery, it was evening so I said OK and packed up. I'd like to politely...

    Video settings suggestions

    Perhaps provide the raw MP4 right off the SD card, no editing. If you edit from your PC, then there's no chance in mixing up the cache version of the video vs the high-res version on the card.

    Fished out my P3 from the flood. Need some advice.

    Try toy train shops. [emoji4]

    Drifting

    Wind will make it drift too until the GPS tolerance for error is hit. I was flying from a boat ramp area off of a bay and had to take off up and out quickly or else it flew backwards. Once it was up in the air, it was stable.

    IMU Calibration. Unknown error at 2%

    I would think the gyros are solid state. I'm guessing the fan gets stuck. Do you hear a whine when you power up?

    I cut cable of compass. Help!

    Depends what you mean by 'side to side'. One doesn't have side to side control, but it does have 3 axis movement and it tests this on power up. I don't believe the compass is needed for its gimbal test but it won't fly. You may have broken the thin flexible ribbon cable or one of the gray...

    Main Board Surface Mount Component Problem

    I don't think beginner mode would have helped in this case. For the P3, that only limits distance and height.

    What's The Current Status Of Altitude Data?

    GPS does have Z axis but not very accurate. My Garmin Nuvi can provide altitude. But I too understood Phantoms used barometer exclusively for altitude. Internally it is recorded in meters, and shows that way in video caption.

    The PD checked my FAA numbers on my Drone !

    I might have asked if I can complete my full flight and return within 20 minutes. I've only had one sort-of complaint from someone. They thought it was cool but even at 100' up, it was bothering their dogs, dogs wanting to chase it.

    How did the motor get out of position?
