    P3P flies gently into oblivion

    By now, some 4 months later, my friends and I had as much relegated the odds of finding my drone to be equivalent to winning a $600 million Powerball with a single ticket - yet here it was, happening to us. Thank you Donovan & family for showing us there's always a chance

    P3P flies gently into oblivion

    So .... literally ...from the drone fairytale "DJI in Wonderland" - came a knock on the door of my friends home in CO. Standing there were an adult man and a young boy holding a drone. The man announced the boy as 10 year old Donovan. Donovan explained that he was in the area visiting his...

    P3P flies gently into oblivion

    Also, the home point is 120 feet above the mid point area of the flight plan - So when the flight plan calls for 75 feet in this area, the net altitude is 195 feet.

    P3P flies gently into oblivion

    I was flying my P3P on my birthday, the 14th, in an unfamiliar area. Using Autopilot, I laid out a waypoint mission for it. Launched drone to 220 feet and hovered while I climbed to the third floor landing of our apt building. Ran checklists, engaged, mission uploaded, drone set off on mission...

    The violent death of my DJI Phantom 3 Pro

    This flight was attempted using apparently slightly damaged carbon composite rotors - one of which was more damaged than the rest. The offending rotor blade broke in half just milliseconds after take off, causing the drone to compensate wildly. It ended by landing upside down at speed.

    lost footage!

    Video repair tools that don't charge $70 for the working program or $24 to repair a single file are rare or non-existent. There is however a tool that works against itself and repairs your video free of charge - all you do is a little file copying to trick it. The tools' flaw is the method they...
