    Phantom 3 Advanced w/extras - $950

    I would like to keep everything together in a single package at this time. If I do decide to part some things out, I will definitely let you know. Thanks for your interest!

    Phantom 3 Advanced w/extras - $950

    Just listed my P3A on CL as I have acquired an Inspire and don't need both..... Here's the link to CL (DJI Phantom 3 Advanced w/extras), and the details on what's up for sale: - Phantom 3 Advanced w/2.7k gimbal-stabilized camera, remote controller - 2x sets of four original props (one set is...

    Excellent Service - RC issue solved

    Don, that is the nature of forums like this to a great extent. Many of the people who seek them out (in addition to people who are just looking for a community of like-minded people) are ones who HAVE a problem and are looking for a solution. I have read lots of negatives, so figured it would...

    Excellent Service - RC issue solved

    TRN, I did not pay any shipping. DJI sent a FedEx pre-printed airbill with their account number, and my RMA number on it. I boxed up the RC and dropped it off at the FedEx drop with my RMA number clearly written on ALL sides of the box. :) After repair, they sent it back to me, again, on their...

    Excellent Service - RC issue solved

    Since I've been involved with Phantoms, I've read many stories of people who have (or feel they have) received service that is considered sub-par from DJI. I wanted to share my recent, very satisfactory, experience. I posted a couple of weeks ago about my issue with my RC recognizing anything...

    Nvidia Shield Go App not connecting/detecting

    upgraders- I had this same issue (though with a Nexus 7 tablet.) One question.....are you able to, or have you tried, to update the RC firmware using the usb port on the RC? In my case I was not, so we (me and DJI) determined that there was a fault in the operation of the USB logic (I say...

    Phantom Launch @ Night

    Nothing fancy, just 11 seconds of my buddy's Phantom 2 launching at dusk/night. Since my FPV was not working, I was just happy to keep him in frame for that long! :) Rich

    Need a P3 Controller to test....SF Bay Area

    Another member here is sending me his original output board (upgraded to HDMI), so I'm going to swap out the modules and see if that fixes me up. I'd still be grateful to know if anyone here is willing to do some testing with me in case the module swap doesn't work. :) Rich

    RC won't update firmware

    Bob, I'll take it off your hands. I started a "conversation" with you. Please reply there, or let me know what postage is to 94061 and we'll figure out a payment method that works. Thanks a ton, I think this will be a great way for me to figure out if I'm right about what's not working.... Rich

    Need a P3 Controller to test....SF Bay Area

    Hey, all. I have a thread going in P3 Help about how I think that my USB port on the back of my RC is bad, making connection with the DJI GO app and software updates impossible. I was wondering if there's anyone in or near Redwood City who would be willing to let me link up their known...

    RC won't update firmware

    Thanks, Dronerancher.....unfortunately, this doesn't work for me, as my DJI GO app won't recognize that my bird is connected via the RC, so I have no option to update anything. I'm relatively certain at this point, that either the USB port is bad, or the whole module on the back of the RC is...

    RC won't update firmware

    I'm now betting it's a bad USB port on the RC. I tried a different (known compatible with P3) card reader, and thumb drive with no luck. I'll fly this weekend, but without video (and after some controlled testing.) Then I'll get an RMA queued up with DJI in LA and wait it out. Thanks to...

    RC won't update firmware

    Yeah, I have that same fear, though was hoping that the fact the Android thinks it is charging when plugged into the USB was an indicator it was working. I suppose that it could just be "partially" functional. I'll see if I can scare up a thumb drive and even another reader to try out. Does...

    RC won't update firmware

    Thanks, Mike.....forgot to mention that I had tried that. Again, there is absolutely no activity on the RC with the card reader plugged into the USB port. I don't think it cares what version of firmware is on the card...... Of course, this could mean that the reader and RC aren't cooperating...

    RC won't update firmware

    I'm still hacking away at this..... I've downgraded the bird to 1.3.2 (well, it sort of did that by itself when I went to use the "Connect to Aircraft to Update RC" mode.) Now when I try to upgrade the RC to 1.3.2 by connecting to the aircraft (yes, MSinger is correct, you ABSOLUTELY are...
