    P3P Help

    I get that. Actually some people have reported "No image transmission signal" AFTER updating! Go figure!

    Gimbal Dance Problem

    Make sure the camera isn't brushing up against the ribbon cable. Sometimes the ribbon moves out of position even slightly and the camera will hit it and could cause a dance like that.

    P3P Help

    I second that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Every time I turn my P3P on it says I need a firmware update but I won't update it because of the horror stories I've read about it messing things up. If it flies ok, don't worry about the update, at least not until one comes out that doesn't do...

    Phantom DJ3 Battery not charging.

    You can also try to "force charge" it. Turn on the battery with the "one push, and hold" just like if it was in the drone. Once it's turned "on", plug in the charger.

    Ribbon connectors

    Impossible to repair. I replaced an entire camera and gimbal when it happened to me. Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear!

    Ribbon connectors

    This has been spoken of before. I've not heard a solution. You might be out of luck. Lets hope someone else has a fix.

    16 minutes flight time..

    It is like how walkie-talkie manufacturers say 5 mile range and in reality they only talk about a mile. They are tested in absolutely perfect conditions to make that claim and there is nothing sneaky about it. it's a true claim, technically speaking. 23 minutes flight time is probably true in...

    Return To Home Questions

    What he said! If it is already within 65' of the home point it will think it's close enough and just land right where it is. That could definitely be a problem if your home point is near any obstacles.

    RTH Help

    No, I didn't think about that. I was squinting and peering into the sky, waiting for my prodigal phantom to return home! :D

    NEED REPAIR ADVISE

    I just bought a new camera and gimbal for the reason I mentioned, because I had attempted to repair a camera and gimbal with good parts from another "crashed" one. Everything worked on it except for the "No image transmission signal". That's when I ordered a brand new one, and the image...

    NEED REPAIR ADVISE

    I hesitate to go here, but if you try and replace just broken parts you'll probably be disappointed. Every time I've tried to just replace the broken parts on the camera/gimbal, I never got the video feed on my tablet. Always got "No image transmission signal". Ended up replacing the entire...

    Just a thought

    Will be 60 in August. My congrats to the original poster. You're only as old as you feel and act. I also hold a private pilot certificate and have always loved being in the sky all alone and feeling free as....well....a bird. (pun intended)
