    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    I've gotten the "battery propulsion limited to ensure health" message quite a few times at the end of my flights. I was in a big field but I think there were power lines maybe .5-.75 miles east of me. I tried to stay away from them.

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    I got an email back from dji saying that I would just have to send it in to have it looked at since it could be any number of things. I'm not sure if I should try and test it again or if I should just bite the bullet and send it to dji.

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    I just submitted my support request to DJI! Hopefully I'll hear back soon I was able to get the .dat file from my ipad. Is there somewhere I can upload it online similar to the phantom help site?

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    Thanks so much for the feedback! When you say "click the cloud icon" is that on the DJI site, to get into online support?

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    My apologies, the flight log is not what I tried. But I was able to get it working now! My problems started around 8min 56sec Phantom Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    Thanks for the tip! I think I tried this a couple days after my flight with no conclusive results. I'll definitely try it again though! Also, I always thought the good practice was to recalibrate every time you change locations?

    P3P attempted flyaway, lost control, need help

    HI everyone! It's been a while since I've ran into any issues with my P3P fortunately, but about a couple weeks ago I was flying and I ran into a very strange, and stressful issue. I've not flown since due to my anxiety about the situation. So I took a very successful flight in one location. I...

    Shooting timelapse in RAW

    Hi guys, I've been trying to do some timelapse shooting on my Phantom 3 Proffesional lately and I'm wondering if anyone else has been doing the same? I'm wanting to shoot in RAW to get the best quality but I'm not liking the limitation of 1 photo every 10 seconds via the dji timed photo...

    Gimbal tilt problem

    UPDATE: I figured out whats up! It also may be of some use for everyone else, so I wanted to share. The video below shows the yaw arm motor shaft not being aligned with the top of the camera. This was my problem, and may be some other people's problems too. I aligned the shaft with the camera...

    Gimbal tilt problem

    I took some more photos, and I'm really having trouble finding where my gimbal is bent. I'm not at all saying that it isn't bent, its just not incredibly obvious to my eyes. Maybe others will see? Also, as you can tell from a couple of pictures, the gimbal will in fact hold a level position if I...

    Gimbal tilt problem

    So I think Mako79 was right, here's a picture of the gimbal when it's just sitting on a level surface. I pushed the gimbal the other way to see if it would sit level but it keeps returning to this position. Any ideas where it's bent or how to find and fix it?

    Gimbal tilt problem

    You know what, I think I remember the guy from drone nerds saying that the gimbal was bent just slightly now that you mentioned it. I put together this video which outlines my procedures and results. I'll take some photos and post them here as well. Thanks!

    Gimbal tilt problem

    Hi everyone, I'm in need of some help. I recently had to send my phantom 3 professional into drone nerds for repair after a minor crash. The fella at the shop said nothing was actually wrong with the unit, he just had to reset the case because of some separation in the body seams. Anyway...

    What to do with battery after phantom crash

    Yeah, Bartold, from what I've read on the net about these LiPo batteries yours should probably be disposed of and not used. Thank you for the info eBird! I'll have to take some time to inspect the battery (I haven't taken time to look over it thoroughly) and then go from there!

    What to do with battery after phantom crash

    So I had a crash with my P3P a couple days ago..My phantom caught a tree branch and fell about 30-45ish feet. I had some scratches and some separation in the seams of the body so I sent it to drone nerds down in Florida for a repair. My question now is what should I do with the battery? I know...
