So, I received my Phantom back from Netherlands yesterday. Seeing the breakdown, I had a replacement controller in there for £95 which was later discounted. No sign of any controller in the returned box. The gimbal has been fixed & a flight test of 50-90m sticker on the side. Seeing how that was...

I was wondering what the DJI service was like currently. I believe it was pretty bad in the past. I have sent in my P3 to fix the range issue after the last FW upgrade. I put the note in the RMA to say it was a signal/ range issue & they put a note on the repair process inquiry that it was a...

You should send it back.. but if not, it's time for a bit of surgery. Taking the back plate off the gimbal & lifting the circuit board away from a potentiometer, the pot has a flat side which needs to be corrected. Keep the phantom on a level surface & turn the pot so that it is level to...

Thanks Rod. Definitely more than frustration. It's a shame that nothing can be done & that so many have the same issue. DJI really needs pulling over this & resolve the issue or compensate. I guess neither will happen in the near future. Time to look for an alternative & look at selling this...

I don't know. I have upgraded & downgraded, used the FW's from threads around the site & ended up with + at the end of the FW#. The current FW has no + at the end so it is possible it's downloaded it again for some reason. I've pricked about with it so much & gotten nowhere. I would of thought...

Well.. I am unhappy to report that whatever that update was, it did zero to the usability of the P3S & it's lack of range. After the update, it wanted the IMU calibrated & seemed to have an issue with the compass. Saying it had interference too close, I found a spot where there was no issue. I...

1.7.xx is what I thought to be rolling out end of August too but you can see from the screen grab it's 1.6.80 The current FW on my P3S is the P3C_FW_V01.07.0082 downloaded from one of the other threads & there has been no upgrade options on the DJi app for months until today. The saga...

I just wanted to get this on here to see if anyone else has received the FW update 1.6.80 today ? After months of waiting for a fix for the range issue, is this the update that will solve it ? I'll charge up & get it out for a fly today & post results but has anyone else got & tried this FW &...

After waiting months & occasionally checking the DJi app for updates, one has popped up this morning 1.6.80 FW update. Hopefully this is the fix for the mess the standard is in at the moment. I'll get the bird in the air later on to test the new FW & post the results. Standard - P3S 1.6.80 FW...

I'm getting pretty frustrated from the upgrades & downgrades of the P3S. I have had this range issue where it RTH on short range every time. I have seen posts on downgrading & I have used all the firmwares to test & still poor range issue. I have seen posts on Downgrading the App as that was...

Yup. The SD downgrade only worked down to the P3C_FW_V01.06.0080 version. I was trying to get to P3C_FW_V01.05.0070 but it refuses to do it. It's currently at the P3C_FW_V01.06.0080 version without the + [P3C_FW_V01.07.0082 version] So I can't see it's fixed anything. I did notice the "Aircraft...

Hi Rod, thanks for the comment. I am in the UK flying the standard with Argtek antenna mod. I was getting perfect ranges & video signal until the latest firmware upgrade. I sent in a complaint to DJI & they got the Euro office involved who suggested I send it in. I have had the P3S for a year...

I, like many others it seems have the same issue. I contacted DJI europe & they said to send it in for inspection but can't give a price on how much to resolve the issue. I upgraded to the recent P3C_FW_V01.07.0082 & P3C_FW_V01.07.0084 firmwares but neither worked. I would have better range from...
