Load latest software on SD card, insert into drone. Latest update to app installed and latest (in my case iOS software update. Power everything up as usual and install update through app. It will take perhaps 20 minutes or so and after that you will be good to go. Mine is performing the best it...

I updated my primary P3P tonight with some bad results....For some reason the aircraft and rc will not communicate. It's showing I need to calibrate the compass by pressing start and I am not able to find the start calibration button, whereas pressing OK has worked just fine the hundreds of...

Well from my experience on the warranty, you would be up the creek. My second crash was with a bird I purchased from an online store that offered a policy that sounds very similar. However after the crash it was revealed that it only covers accidental damage. So if you crash into a brick wall at...

Great video

I had a crash into some pretty thick trees at about 22mph. Only one of mine broke and the center only broke out of it. They are pretty dang tough. The previous p3 broke 3 stock props in another crash running/falling about 50mph. I really like the carbon fibers better.

Forgive my perceived negativity, it stems from spending hours in the sky flying this cool, superior machine and then just having to look at it laying in the floor with it's little broken arms and legs and not being able to go anymore. Thought about it last night and I'm going to stay with the...

The P3P is an incredible machine. I've had two crash, real bad, in the last month. It will one day probably work fine once all the bugs are fixed. I'm not a novice by any means either. Sometimes bad things just happen for no reason, sometimes they happen twice. I spoke with a DJI rep today and...

Very good advice bobmyers. @prostreetcamaro it will get better. Hopefully you will be able to locate it, if not, MAYBE DJI will work something out with you.

Luckily I too bought the 1 year replacement from Drone World and I will let you know how the process goes. I've still not sent the first P3P back to DJI for replacement but I have received all of the documentation to return it. I would advise you to start with the live chat, if no luck call the...

I feel terrible for you as well. You aren't crazy either. I had the same exact thing happen to my p2v+ last year but luckily we regained control and flew it back, still to this day I have no answer as to why. If it helps your feelings any I lost my second p3p yesterday, this time to a sudden...

I had the same thing happen 2 times unfortunately I couldn't recover from the second time. It took 2 weeks to finally get it to the point to send back to DJI. Do the online chat first. That seems to be the best way to get the ball rolling. Mine was an engine failure. Also I preordered the first...

This is great, new app is purring along great with this

Same here!!

I have received 2 emails from DJI and I had an offer from the company I bought it from here in the U.S. to see what parts were salvageable and use that as a credit towards a new one!! Absolute and total BS. That being said, I went ahead and ordered another new one from Drone-world.com. They...

That's a good question. I've flown this path almost every day since receiving the p3 and even more with my p2v+. Something went wrong mechanically or software related. New one came in today and I'm in no hurry to put it back in service until I see what's actually causing the same problem with a...
