    P3P / DJI Go with iPad Mini 6 (2021)

    I recently bought an iPad Mini 6 - not specifically to use with the drone, but I thought it would be an added bonus having the larger screen (as currently I use my iPhone XR for this). I have a spare USB-A to USB-C cable so connected that to the RC and iPad, but the DJI Go app never sees the...

    Battery error message

    Actually, a quick follow-up question that just occurred to me. I had to update the firmware on the drone, as the GO app was telling me that it needed doing. Installed the latest f/w from DJI site. But does the battery firmware need updating too, or would that have happened automatically for the...

    Battery error message

    Thanks, that list only goes up to iPhone X, so not sure if it just needs updating or nothing newer than an X is compatible. I think I'll try and pick up a cheap iPad next month anyway 👍 Curious about your username - are you based near Cheddar? The last place I took my P3S before I sold it in...

    Battery error message

    Oh no, sorry I didn't mean the battery was idle for 7 years. I don't know the history of this P3, as I've only just picked it up from eBay. But I know the P3 was released in 2015, so am just surmising that the battery could be getting on for 7 years old, if it's the original one that came with...

    Battery error message

    Thanks, I had a read through that. I didn't check the battery section of the Go app at the time, as was panicking a bit and just focused on getting it down safely. I have since checked the battery section of the app, but unfortunately I can't see the battery voltage or temperature as the values...

    Battery error message

    I took the P3P I'd bought from eBay last week for a spin today, for the first time. Unfortunately within 3-4 minutes the GO app said 'Battery Error' and was telling me to RTH asap. It was over the sea at the time but fortunately managed to get it back safely. Battery level was still showing as...

    P3P Remote Beeping & right dial beeps

    I think I've solved this. I was using the DJI Pilot app, which has a slightly different calibration screen (as well as the two sticks, it has calibration for both the left and right dials - however, the right one wasn't registering at all when I turned it). I tried doing calibration in GO...

    P3P Remote Beeping & right dial beeps

    Hi all, I just bought a used P3P from eBay. Roughly 2 times out of every 3 when I turn on the RC, I get continual beeping and red flashing light. Sometimes it doesn't do this, but most times it does. Did some googling and found reset procedure (hold down C1, C2 and shutter button, then turn RC...

    Who else is getting sick of being a celebrity?

    IMO the attention and questions can get a bit annoying sometimes, particularly for me as I'm not really a 'people person'. But I try and remind myself that I'm representing all drone users when I'm out flying the P3, so I try and always give a smile and a polite response when people show an...

    New P3S owner!

    You can still buy filter kits with an adapter for the P3S though. I bought this one from Amazon which had the adapter, plus ND4 and ND8 filters. { FILTER SET FOR DJI } DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo

    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    Haven't read any previous posts so apologies if this only echoes what others have said I think it's important to start with the basics though - Consider weather - e.g. don't fly in rain, and don't fly in wind speeds faster than the Phantom can fly (might seem obvious but maybe not to a...

    Blurry Video

    With respect I disagree. I and many others are very happy with our P3S's, I think you just had a duff one. Of course I wouldn't say no to an Advanced or Pro but personally couldn't justify the extra cost.

    Crashed today...

    That's only for loosening the props, not tightening them. It's referred to in the manual as a 'propellor removal clamp'.

    P3 Standard No Signal Issue...What Now??

    Sorry if you've already tried this but did you see the suggestion posted on the previous page about the reset button? I had a similar issue to you after upgrading the firmware and was able to resolve it by pressing this button on the side of the aircraft. When powered on you'll see it glowing...
