    Phantom 3 RC help (Need Ribbon)

    Wow - yeah - sounds like we did the same exact thing to our RC... Mine was also not gripping the cable very well afterwards..What a shame... I think DJI designed the ribbon so short like this because they didn't want you opening the main case compartment. Now my question is - if the connector...

    Phantom 3 RC help (Need Ribbon)

    Hello all, Recently discovered right joystick and RTH button mounts had failed internally - I Took apart, and upon opening the case the main/con ribbon popped loose from main board before I unlocked it. This seemed to weaken the ribbon connector's ability to lock the cable down. After...

    Lost P3P in WPB due to RTH

    Great news! I was called by a 12 year old that found it in his yard where it auto landed safely! I had written my number and the promise of a reward if found. I gave him $100! Praise God my life can return to normal! Thanks for all the kind posts. I've been a total wreck.

    Lost P3P in WPB due to RTH

    Yeah I know. I assumed it would update. I was trying to catch sunset... I'm pulling my hair out.

    Lost P3P in WPB due to RTH

    Very sad news... Rushed to put her in the sky and lost signal only 1 minute and 400-600 feet away into flying somehow. For some reason the home point hadn't updated from the day before some 10 miles away. The path was blocked by a large international airport so I assume the 1.5 mile grounding...

    New distance on DJI specs

    "Up to 5 km or 3.1 miles (unobstructed, free of interference) when FCC compliant Up to 3.5 km or 2.1 miles (unobstructed, free of interference) when CE compliant" When I bought my p3p October 18th it said 2 km fcc. Did something in the hardware change? Or do you think this is with the...

    Stick mode 1 and filming

    Hey all so I've just been experimenting with mode 1 and found it's great for doing the full reverse and tilting the gimbal up trick (removing props from shot) while adding a smooth amount of yaw much easier. Also great for pans with delicate altitude adjustments. I really have trouble with...

    Controller beeping

    So I just calibrated the rc after flying over 75 flights without doing so! And WOW I finally have full control of my bird! This whole time I figured the phantom was just temperamental and I also couldn't figure out why my expo curve at .2 wasn't having any effect on stick response. Thank you for...

    Controller beeping

    WOW I thought it was just supposed to beep until you move a stick lol - could this contribute to overly sensitive sticks?

    Damaged arm - still flying fine

    I'm worried about how this looks even though my phantom is still flying fine. What's the worst case scenario with this much of a bent arm? I will probably need to replace the case I assume but I am scared of how difficult that is going to be... I'm sure there's plenty of YouTube tear downs...

    Phantom 3 retractable landing gear

    This is exactly what we need to match the inspire capability (sort of) right? All that's left is to hack the gimble to do left and right? Any apps capable of this yet?
