    P3SE loses signal at 5-10 metres.

    Hey - I thought you had a keen eye??? ;-) I don't own and have never owned a P3S or a P3SE but I've been following these P3SE threads for many years because I think the drone is pretty fascinating. In a way, it's sort of like the "missing link" between the P2V series and the P3 A/P series...

    P3SE loses signal at 5-10 metres.

    That would make sense if the P3 SE worked like a P3S, but we have already established that it works like a P3 A/P which is a lightbridge drone. We've also established that the SE controller transmits from one side and receives from the other just like the P3 A/P controllers. Unlike the P3S...

    P3SE loses signal at 5-10 metres.

    I think it's important to keep in mind that the P3S leg antenna is a 5.8 ghz antenna. I mentioned this is another thread. It will not work well with a 2.4 ghz system. I think the default freq on the SE is 2.4 ghz, isn't it? So you would have to be sure to choose via the Go app a 5.8 ghz...

    Which (Inexpensive) Remote ID Module to Get???

    I think it's kinda like flying BVLOS or flying without an FA number, etc. If you don't get caught, great. If you do, they'll get you for that plus anything and everything else they can come up with. What is it - potentially $11K per violation? I think I'd pay the $60.

    P3 SE black and grey cable from camera board broken

    Sorry but I would be reluctant to swap out the P3SE antenna for the P3S antenna. You'd be stuck in 5.8 ghz, and also you'd likely be limited in distance. The P3 SE, and A/P antennas are a significant upgrade from the old version P3S and P2V 5.8 ghz antennas. IMO, best option is to simply...

    Got myself in to deep

    Sorry but the short answer is no. The three drones you bought have almost zero compatibility. Also, I'm not sure you know what you have. 1st Q - No. The P1 hand controller is a 2.4 ghz transmitter, P2V+ has a 5.8 ghz receiver. If you actually have a straight P2 rather than a P2V+, then your...

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus No Data to Phone

    Did you know there's a button you can press on the drone to start recording? The problem is probably not a bad range extender. Besides - you've already confirmed that it has binded successfully.

    Transmitter signal issue

    Any mods? Could be oxidation is interfering with the transceiver connections? Especially if you have an old drone. DJI does a very good job of protecting those connections. It is more apt to happen with a modified drone. But the P3S was released in 2015 which was a long time ago. You'd...

    Transmitter signal issue

    Is there snow on the ground?

    Drone wont start

    On the P2 series, fast-blinking yellow means no signal, but a slow-blinking yellow means ATTI MODE. ATTI mode on the P2 is when you are flying without the help of GPS, whether intentionally or not. It could be you have an inadequate number of satellites, or it could be you have deliberately...

    Hello from fresh P3SE pilot

    Sorry but the P3SE is unlike any other DJI drone. Hence the name Phantom 3 Special Edition. There are a lot of interesting threads discussing this. Best to search and read up. Here is one thread of several. https://phantompilots.com/threads/lightbridge-on-se.123704/ Good luck

    Battery Hibernation?!

    We've seen posts like this many times. When the dust settles, the result is almost always the same, which is to say the battery is completely dead. See post #2. Maybe 2% of the time, a battery can be brought back, but it's extremely rare. Sorry for your loss. Merry Christmas.

    Rare Phantom 2 have you seen one of these before

    I have no idea. I've been ignoring it. But I didn't get the pop up this morning.
