    P3P suddenly fell from the sky

    My P3S fell from the sky at 200 feet on an RTH about 15 minutes into a flight. Props were all tightened prior to flight. I couldn't find one of the props, so I assume it flew off. I have video, and it was well above any obstructions and the sky was as clear as glass. I thought there was...

    Do you fly out of sight?

    Even with brightly dyed props and markings, my peepers will lose my P3 at any distance 200ft up if I take my eyes off it for a few seconds. About 95% of the time I do not fly over houses or in residential areas at all, so I'm not that worried. I plan my flights so even my return won't take me...

    leaving Phantom at hotel

    Lol, I travel all the time, never use the room safe and have never had a problem. I stay at a Mariott brand hotel for work and pleasure. About once a month in DC for work (Greenbelt Mariott) I normally have thousands of dollars worth of stuff with me. Just put your bag or case against the...

    Mode P vs Mode F

    I fly in F as I'm less likely to accidentally flip the switch up rather than down. I like Home Lock when I'm on my way back.

    First flight video

    You're braver than I was when I first got my phantom. I didn't fly over trees for a month, lol. I see a long range test in your very near future.

    Is there something wrong with my drone (wind)

    You can also disable multiple flight modes in dji go, so you can't accidentally put it into atti. Wouldn't help you in your case, but somehing to consider.

    Drone fell from sky during RTH (Update - Replaced under warranty)

    Update - DJI fixed it free of charge. Well, they didn't really fix it, they sent me a new drone. Using my superior deductive skills, this one must have previously belonged to Gregg as it is named "Greggs Drone". It took them about 3 weeks total. The invoice was for 168 bucks, but again, it...

    Something Good To Say

    Ive been flying for a few months and love it. I haven't gone more than 1000 ft distance yet and still have lots of fun just tooling around the local parks. I usually go towards the end of the day so I get a lot of good sunset videos and pictures just going straight up and hovering at 200ft...

    First flight and operation questions

    1) If you hit critical battery level (10% is preset I think), your drone is going to come down whether you like it or not. You can stop it and maneuver but don't be surprised if you hit critical battery, can't get it back and it just lands, wherever that may be. That being said, don't fly on a...
