    I haven't played with my P3s since 2017. What I have forgotten. LOL

    Hi Rootman. If it’s that bit of jello effect in the video you are trying to resolve, check the attached picture. That set screw on mine became slightly loose and I had intermittent jello effect. Once I tightened it, all was good again. Hope this is your issue as well, cause it’s an easy fix.

    Not once but twice.

    I put those on my P3s at least 2 years ago. No cracks anywhere even after a somewhat serious misadventure/crash. Glad I installed them on the drone. You won’t be disappointed.

    Phantom 3 Standard

    Hi RTR. I’m attaching pics to show the setting I use to get multi mode. Hope this helps. The S1 switch gives you P mode ATTI mode & F mode. See page 23 of the manual for a description of each mode.

    2nd time drone owner

    I have both the PS3 & Mini. Happy with both. They of course have different strengths and weaknesses. I’ve enjoyed flying both. With the mini 2 on the market there are some good deals to be had on the mini. Might be worth checking out.

    iPhone or iPad

    Phtm3. I use both an IPhone 6 & iPad 9.7” gen5. I have a holder mounted on the controller that can hold either device and I use a lanyard attached to the controller and worn around my neck for weight support and it works well. I’ve also used a camera tripod with a tablet holder, which I set a...

    Stick sticks in down position.

    Hi Phtm3. As others have stated, that’s normal on the P3S controller. When you are pulling the left stick down, you should feel a stop before it locks in the down position. It doesn’t have to be all the way down in order for the drone to descend. Also down in the locked position shuts the motors...

    Compass Error

    Could it be magnetic interference causing it, in the location you are in with the drone? Search compass calibration issues in the search tool at the top of this page or on the Phantom pilots site. You should find lots of helpful information, also YouTube may be of help. Good luck with getting it...

    Phantom 3 Standard

    Hi A1. I’ve owned my P3s for four years. On more than one occasion I’ve flown it up to 400 ft and around 3000 feet out. Rarely have I lost signal. The environment you fly in (rural vs urban) can certainly have an effect on the signal. There are two different signals being transmitted and...

    Phantom 3 Standard Loses Signal

    Have you tried signing out and then back into your DJI account. I seem to recall others having this issue and resolving it by doing this. Good luck and happy flying

    Hi from Canada!

    Welcome from sunny Alberta (well not today, cool and snowing). Hopefully the Phantom fills in some of the flying gap for you. Happy flying

    Phantom standard signal loos

    Hi Planetime2. I seem to recall this topic being discussed sometime ago and someone had suggested signing out of your DJI account and then signing back in. Do not recall exactly what the results were but worth a try. Hope it resolves your issue. Personally I’ve never had this issue with my P3s...

    Do You Think That the FAA Rules are Ridiculous?

    Hey, PhoenixOne. Starboard and Port are a thing on aircraft just like on boats. If you look at the navigation lights on a boat and aircraft you will see they have the same colours. Red on the left (port) and green on the right (starboard) and a white one at the rear. I actually have a set that...

    And I thought I got duped....

    Hey Izzy 1970. Sounds like a great buy. Hope you get lots of enjoyment with it. Here’s what I’d like to add. This has all be said here before by fellow PhantomPilots. If you haven’t already, download the manual for the PS3 and read it several times. There is lots of good information there. Also...

    How to check for interference?

    Here’s another fun thing I’ve done. Two high intensity micro flashlights, couple of elastics and good to go. Have not gotten any type of interference from either this setup or the one in my previous post.
