How can he update the firmware on his batteries if the craft won't even power up now? Thinking yeah, I may need to buy him some new batteries and take his.

I'm starting to think this is all battery related. I borrowed someone's batteries from a P3 Pro to use on my Advanced and now neither of our crafts work right. His won't power up at all now, mine is now recognized as a P3 Pro in the app. I think his batteries got updated when I put them in my...

So the other day I borrowed a couple batteries from a friend who has a P3 Pro to use on my P3 Advanced. My firmware was up to date with version 1.8, but his wasn't. When I put his batteries in my craft, I think I still had the firmware update on my SD card and it updated his batteries - now...

Now it's all f'd up. On startup, gimball does its boot up thing, then goes limp, never get a video picture, takes longer to turn off aircraft, battery button flashes red for a while, 10 seconds maybe, then drone shuts off. Putting firmware 1.7 or 1.8 now does nothing, no text file comes up...

Funny that you say this, cause it seems like it did happen after I borrowed someone else's brand new batteries that didn't have the current firmware on them. But I'm still having the problem on my up to date batteries now. Wanna try downgrading the aircraft firmware and remote control firmware...

Seems like ever since I upgraded to the latest firmware 1.8, now I keep losing video connection. Always lose it the second I try to record video, and usually lose it after a few minutes of just flying around. Anyone else have this problem? Using an android tablet. And how to I downgrade the...

Looking for a 7-8in tablet to use on my P3. Wanna spend about $100, $150 max. Would like something with a micro SD card, bright screen, and preferably gps (but not a deal breaker). Doesn't need cell service but wifi. There's so many out there, but I'm not sure what would work good with the...

Sorry, U.S. 333 application is pending, hopefully I'll get it by spring.

Where can I get it and how much will I expect to pay for it? Looking at doing some aerial videos of mostly high end real estate and there's some really expensive things that could be damaged in a crash so I want to be covered.

What was the insurance company that was $50 a year?

Looks like there was some very fine pieces of metal on the ring magnet that holds the gimbal piece on. The crash chiped a couple nicks of the magnet off. Pulled it off, cleaned all around the ring magnet, reinstalled, works good now. Was binding up a little before, now free motion all through...

Here it is when I first turn the aircraft on. Perfectly straight when I do an auto calibtation. What's p number gimbal?

Thanks. Got her all back together today! New shell and battery tray, new balanced plastic props, even put my prop guards back on I mostly do real estate shots in close quarters. IMU calibrated, compass calibrated all values look good. All I could do was a quick hover test flight since it was...

Any idea what those compass mod numbers mean? What about the other values on that page, acceleration and gyroscope? What should they be, all zeros? Mine always says z -1, mod +1. Normal?

I talked to a guy today who owns a real estate video company and wants to bring me on as a videographer to do aerials and interior videos, but as an independent contractor, not an employee. I am a pilot. Would I need the 333 exemption since I'd be working as an independent contractor or can I...
