Yeah that's something I was concerned about. The arms look to wide and I'd be worried about it affecting performance there. I'd be interested to see what other people come up with. I always fly my Phantom with a getterback when I'm over water.

That's a good point. If you don't end up crashing then deductables is the way to go. I just always assume I will crash o.O

Here is my line of logic: I had a Neary policy on my Phantom 3, it crashed in spectacular fashion and he had it fixed and back to me in 7 days flat. The guy does good work. That's not to say he may not be here tomorrow, but at $189 it's actually not that much more than the DJI Refresh plan...

Can someone help explain why they are and why I should be excited for manual focus? What benefit will it accomplish in my cinematography when most of my subjects will usually be greater than 10 M which would put it pretty close to infinity focus which is basically the same thing as the Phantom...

I just got my drone back from UAV Repair shop in MN, I live in Seattle so I had to ship it to him, it was a little less than 2 weeks round trip and he was awesome, quick, and very helpful. I would definitely recommend him if you end up shipping it to one of those.

I just want to give credit where credit is due, it does seem like DJI is really stepping it up on the customer service front. I had only 2 hours of flight time and no crashes on my new P3A before one of the motors pooped out. I shipped it out 9 days ago and it was repaired free of charge and...

Wasn't planning on it. Just looking for suggestions. :) I'll try compressed air tonight. Ugh, I don't want to send it back 1 week after I bought it...

no crash, it has been working perfectly, last time I started it up I just noticed the noise and the resistance.

My new phantom 3 advanced has about 2 hours of flight time on it and I just noticed when I started it up a knocking coming from the back left motor, when I rotate it by hand I can feel it catching like there is some debris in it, hopefully a rock and not a broken piece of wire or anything like...

I just bought my first Phantom for personal use a few weeks ago. So far I love it, and these forums are filled with amazingly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly people. However, I come from the professional UAV world and work for a company with a 333 conducting aerial surveys by UAV so I have...

I just got the film filters from PhantomFilters.com that fit inside the regular lens cap. They seem great but **** they are hard to keep clean and organized and you can't really label them. Does anyone else have them and have any suggestions or DIY storage kit for them?

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for the discount! It's nice to know such a large investment is safe. :) One more question, if it goes for a swim it is covered as long as I retrieve it right?

Why the 15 day waiting period?

I checked, based on the advertisement pictures this is the correct direction, and this direction has more clearance than the other.

I just installed a gimbal guard on my new Phantom 3 Adv. it seems nice and sturdy and it fit well, but when I turn on the craft, the gimbal autostartup routine causes the gimbal to knock against it ever so slightly, has anyone else seen this or do you think this is a problem?
