    Post Crash Help!!

    I am going to take the gimbal and camera off today and inspect it. If the problem is the transmitter where would I find that inside the casing. I will try to re link again and see if that works first. Is so frustrating as its so close to working and replacing the camera now would be such a...

    Post Crash Help!!

    I have taken out the SD card and got the footage off that I took on its last flight. Including the embarrassing crash. I cleared the card leaving the latest bin file that was already on it and then re formatted the card in the DJI app when it was connected. It has stopped the buzzing noise and...

    Post Crash Help!!

    From what I can see those connectors are looking ok. I have not taken the camera and gimbal off however the clips are firmly pushed in and the grey wires appear to all be in place. There are marks on the camera housing so I take it, it took a knock. It's just weird that it moves ok but no...

    Post Crash Help!!

    Hi everyone Took my P3 professional out for a spin today and stupidly managed to hit a low hanging branch which caused it to crash. There does not appear to be much physical damage beyond some scuff marks. All the blades were still attached and not damaged either. Once I got it home I tried...

    Risk assessment template

    Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone has a template for a pre flight risk assessment? I can make a template easy enough but not sure what to put on it. I would imagine something like this would be more for the commercial guys but am interested in what should be on it and what to look for when...

    Phantom 3 for commercial use

    You guys must have to charge a fortune for aerial work with those costs involved. I understand the need for insurance but it doesn't make sense to me that somebody can perform the same flight for free and it's fine but if you want to make money then you need to do a course. How much is the...

    Phantom 3 Professional Back in Stock

    Just like to say I was really impressed with the delivery service. The ability to track the delivery and get an hour time slot was fantastic.

    What do do I need to know before my first flight?

    Does the beginner mode only restrict distance? If so surely just turning it off would be ok?

    Phantom 3 Professional Fly Away

    Sorry to be a noob and state the obvious but I should be getting my phantom soon and all this has me a little worried about flying it. In summary from this post I have learnt, Don't take off from anywhere there could be magnetic interference. Do not calibrate the compass each flight unless...

    Is it possible to shut down the motors mid flight?

    That makes sense, I thought about this as you may take off from one height and then land at a different height, say for example on a table or roof and then you may struggle to turn off the motors and would be forced to CSC. I will go back to reading the manual again before my P3 arrives. There...

    Is it possible to shut down the motors mid flight?

    I have been wondering about this, at what height will the motors shut down from holding the throttle down for more than 3 seconds? I guess those that hand catch must have to shut the motors down this way otherwise the phantom would cartwheel out of control. But I guess when descending from...

    UK Phantom 3 order advice

    Any other tips for getting hold of one of these in the UK. I was quoted a 15 day wait from DJI themselves. I contacted a UK dealer but they had no idea when they would recieve anymore stock. How did the rest of you guys from the UK get your phantoms? Did you order direct or did you order from...
