Thanks! I will look into that!

I've been reading a few horror stories about folks losing their P-3s,/P-4s while flying over water. I'm now too paranoid to do that. However, I thought of this idea. Why not attach a thin, long, nylon cord to the drone, perhaps 100 feet in length or so, just in case. I don't know if the drone...

I'm going to start a photo/video drone business with my P-3. I used to own a video production company. I will tailor my rates based on that experience, i.e. the estimate for a client will be based on about $50 per hour on my end, including editing, etc.

For videos of what length? 5 minutes?

The FAA will no doubt be holding public comment hearings on these new rule changes. All "stakeholders" should attend these hearings!

It doesn't create a TXT file- it goes directly to all red, and freezes there. The RC unit freezes on red also.

I have been trying to upgrade the firmware on my brand new P-3 professional. It will start to load, then quits and goes to solid red lights. The RC unit, has the red light on and the Go app tells me to upgrade it's firmware as well. Neither upgrade works! I follow the instructions to the letter...

The esc sensor on one of my P-3's motors suddenly died after only two flights. I had to send it to CA for repair (should be covered by warranty). This was about 6 weeks ago. The only notice I received via email was that they had received my unit. Nothing more since. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS...

I bought a brand new P-3 in May. I flew it only twice, less than 1/2 hour total flight time. On the third try one of the motors quit working (error message "ESC status error restart aircraft"). I followed DJI's advice and re-installed the firmware and IMU calibration). After doing that NONE of...

DJI, told me that there is nothing that can be done other than send my P-3 back to them to repair the motherboard. The "ESC" is a sensor on the motherboard that turns the motors on or off. I'm very upset about this because I've only flown mine twice. If a motor fails to turn, it will "fry" the...

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I'M TRYING TO REACH SOMEONE ON THE PHONE! I will let you all know what I find out.

I have the exact same error message (ESC status error), it happened after I upgraded the firmware and did a IMU calibration which were successful. Now, none of the motors will start! HELP!!!
