I actually won my P3 at a conference and have only flown it a half dozen times. The last time, I crashed it, so I took this quarantine time to repair it. Now that's it's back in operation, I want to pick up some extra batteries. That should give me more reason to actually take the thing out and...

Yeah, that's been my impression. @mossphotography above was talking about only using OEM batteries, though.

Oh, I'm willing to buy the FlyHi's. I'm just trying to confirm if there's a place to buy the OEM's.

The only battery I have is OEM, but I feel like I want to buy one or two more. It almost feels prohibitive to go out for a flight when you have one battery. 20 minutes of flight time is pretty limiting on fun. ...but I don't see any place online where you can buy OEM batteries for the P3.

Thankyou! ...same MaH rating and same charger, I assume?

I have one battery - the one that came with my DJI Phantom 3 Pro. I've seen a lot of 3rd party batteries on Amazon and elsewhere. Does anyone have experience with these? Any recommendations?

Oh, speaking of batteries - does DJI still sell these? I'd like to buy a second one. Or, is there a third party you prefer?

Well, good news is that after SMACKING the IMU, I've cleared the Accelerometer Failure. I wasn't really able to remove the ribbon from either the mainboard side, where it appeared to be glued, or the IMU side, where it appeared to be threaded through the unit... but with the handle of a...

Oh god. Alright! :oops:

Thanks for your help. I'll try to tap the IMU tomorrow and see if I can fix that problem, and then move on to the board. That may have to wait until after all this covid craziness when I regain my job, but at least I've got a plan! Thankyou!

I'll recheck tomorrow, but if it turns out I can't get a video feed at all, and I want to replace the gimbal board, what's involved, and are they available from DJI? Any ballpark on cost? Is this the one?

There is no video feed when the aircraft and remote are connected. The only errors in the Overview are the accelerometer failure and, previously I did see an Aircraft Update failure. Is the IMU the little black box in the center of the main board under the top cover? I have opened the top up...

After a minor crash a year ago, I had a problem getting the Phantom 3 back up and running. I did some brief troubleshooting at the time, including a failed firmware upgrade, and then set it down. Now I'm back after a year of grumbling about it, and I'm hoping to fix the problem. Well, two...
