    Pull-out shot not easy

    Thanks all for replying. So multiple options I could go for. BigAI07 has a point. GPS position can be very off. My experience of GPS inaccuracy could be as big as 4 meters. I will keep that in mind when setting waypoints. :)

    Pull-out shot not easy

    Thanks for explaining. It works! Just a bit imperfect is that waypoints only record facing directions but not camera pitch. Hopefully some future firmware upgrade will add that. For now, I don't need to worry about hitting trees already so much better.

    Pull-out shot not easy

    Sorry, why setting speed to zero? And how does POI works with waypoints?

    Pull-out shot not easy

    I like the zooming out shot flying my bird away and high (i.e. left stick up, right stick down) while having the camera pointing at a subject. But I find it hard to maintain the subject in the center of the screen. Also it's very risky to back out through some trees. Is there a easy way to do...

    P3 fell in river... battery now on by itself, normal?

    Thanks all for replying! I powered the drone today with my another battery. It flew hovering 2 feet for 15 sec until I landed. So far so good. :) Compass needs calibration, though. I will test fly it this weekend. The last video in SD was corrupted, couldn't play. But shouldn't ask too...

    P3 fell in river... battery now on by itself, normal?

    I am drying the drone now with a fan. I still hold a tiny tiny hope that it would be okay... I will try power it up one week later. So far the only thing I could think of is the motors might get rusted... If it doesn't fly nor burn by then, I guess I will have a new wall hanging.

    P3 fell in river... battery now on by itself, normal?

    It was a moving river and quite clear, I assume not salt water. I had tried long pressed shutting down, then it turned on again. The battery is sitting on a metal plate by itself, not plugged in. I worry about something short circuit and might explode.

    P3 fell in river... battery now on by itself, normal?

    Accident happened to me finally. :( I picked up my bird from the cold water. The battery LED was 1 solid red on it. Couldn't turn off. So I unplugged it. I saw red liquid on the battery. Letting the battery to dry out for few hours, the LED turns on by itself, as if I try to fly my bird. I...

    RTH within 20m radius but below ground elevation what happen?

    Sorry i didn't explain clearly... I meant horizontally p3 is less than 20m distance, but vertically below ground level.

    RTH within 20m radius but below ground elevation what happen?

    Hi all, i am new. Reading the manual said if RTH within 20m horizontal distance, p3 will decend and land wherever it is, not bothering flying to the actual home position. This is fine for above ground flying. I want to fly at a cliff and wondering what will happen if it's below ground but...

    Best Firmware for P3A

    I am also new and having the same question about which fw ver to use. I saw people saying 1.6.80 was the last good one before range got shorten. I recall seeing someone complained about after a ver upgrade, the gimbal shaked won't stop. Saw a video on Youtube. On Dji forum seems the range...
