    I just finished updating iPad OS, the P3P 1.06 FW and five batteries FW. Everything went fine. No issues. The aircraft was double checked on the bench for a successful FW update and each battery was reinstalled into the aircraft to confirm each FW update for them was succcessful. I charged all...

    Aircraft Firmware will not upgrade to 1.06

    Figured it out. Simple error. When I downloaded the file to my Mac I just have double tapped it. It downloaded two of the same file and added a -2 to the end of the 2nd file name. DUH!

    Aircraft Firmware will not upgrade to 1.06

    Not sure what I am missing here. Upgraded aircraft to Ver P3x_FW_v01.05.003 UPgraded RC to version 1.5.70 Upgrade DJI GO App version to 2.4.3. DJI Go is now telling me I need to upgrade the aircraft and batteries. I am now trying to upgrade to the aircraft to P3x-V01.06.0040 but the aircraft...

    Battery Storage Box = Happy Wife

    After the wife read about the potential for LIPO fires it was made clear to me that continued marital bliss moving foward would only be possible by having a fire resistant battery storage solution. So off to the Army/Navy Store for an ammo box. I built the separators by using 2 pieces of 1/2...

    50 degree Fahrenheit long term storage of batteries

    With cold weather on it's way I am starting to think about low temp storage of batteries. This is my first winter storing batteries. I currently keep them in my basement which has a year round temp between 50-68 degrees Fahrenheit. Is 50 degrees Fahrenheit to low for long term storage? Thanks.

    Cold weather

    I'm interested in this as well. Also how cold you can store batteries. My basement gets down to about 50- 54 degrees in the winter. Any worries with temps that low ?

    Crashed today wind gust. Need opinion on Shell

    Us musicians call that "adding character" when we bang up our guitars. You will probably trim a few trees and have a few hard landings in your future. I say leave every scar. It will look like a Star Wars prop after a couple years. Think of all the beer drinking stories you will have of your...

    Battery Damage

    This battery has about 5 charges on it. It is not swollen and I have had no issues with it. I noticed this morning the dent shown in the photo. It has not broken through the skin. I am a bit concerned about this. I have not idea when this damage happened. It has never been dropped and always...

    Part number for battery tray?

    Yep. Same thing happened to me. I looked high and low for this part. It is not available from DJI as a spare part. The only way I found one was to keep a eye out for a used shell for sale that included the motherboard mount. Not an easy find. It took me two months to locate one. Keep an eye on...

    UAV Bits Strong Arms and Carbon Fiber Camera Guard Saves the Day

    I did a little tree trimming with my P3 and took a 70 foot tumble into a pile of large rocks. You can see by the photo the Strong Arm edge sheered right off but protected the shell. My carbon fiber camera guard also took a hit, did not break and protected the camera. No damage at all. Worth...
