    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    Thank you for sharing. I always suspected the compass errors may come from a loose fitting and/or connection. Thanks again.

    compass calibration required constantly on screen

    I believe this an inherent P3P issue. I had to send it back to DJI for a compass replacement.

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    My impression is that this is a known Phantom 3 series issue with DJI. I had the same issue and no amount of compass or IMU calibrations or firmware or DJI GO upgrades would fix the problem (Please read my earlier threads on the subject) I just received the unit back yesterday from repair and...

    P3P or 4

    I just recently pulled the trigger on the new Mavic Pro only because we'll be traveling to Cancun next month. If you're planning on doing a lot of traveling then shoot for a Mavic for portability if not the P3P is all you need IMO. Good luck!

    Why does the DJI Phantom 3 Compass Hardware Fail?

    After 4 batteries of flying the compass has failed once again. Same area, same everything. I cannot re-calibrate.

    Why does the DJI Phantom 3 Compass Hardware Fail?

    Meta -- I cannot explain how I have not been able to calibrate the compass in the last two months (same location as always) and then for the compass to all of a sudden start working again.

    Why does the DJI Phantom 3 Compass Hardware Fail?

    Does anyone have any experiencing with the P3 compass failing and requiring a replacement? Or does anyone have experience with the compass not working and then suddenly working in and around the same environment? I'm interested to seeing how many compass failures exist that are NOT related to...

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    It's really strange that it would suddenly start working again. I've read that the P3P compass is another part that is prone to failure and that replacing it is common, hence why the P34 has dual compasses for redundancy. I hope that I don't have to deal with it again but I have a sneaky...

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    I was hesitant to do that because what if it stopped working again but I will later this afternoon. I did notice that the DJI GO app had been "auto updated" on both iPads so it's not going to be the same app version but we'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted. It was quite the bummer...

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    My Phantom 3 Pro has been grounded for almost 2 months because of compass errors that began mid-flight. Upon landing I was able to complete a compass calibration and worked only for it to begin failing again. It got to the point where I could no longer complete a succesful calibration due to...

    Drones in and around Los Angeles

    Technically speaking, these new "City ordinances" such as in Los Angeles and West Hollywood are illegal since cities and municipalities do not have the right to implement or enforce such laws. Only Congress and the federal government can create laws that govern air space. On that note, I still...

    Crashed P3P looking to buy P3A

    I'm sorry you lost your Phantom. What happened?

    Phantom 3pro lost motor mid flight.....total loss

    Calm down and relax. DJI will replace your shell for free if stress cracks appear. They're pretty good about it too and they'll usually have it returned to you within 8-10 days.
