    Crash from a compass error and loss gps

    You prolly had a bad calibration the last time you took it for a fight. DONT recalibrate it Every time. It isn't needed. They say to but don't. If you know you have a good calibration then leave it alone, cuz the chances of getting a bad calibrating are very high, so once you have a good one you...

    P3P has suspicious marking on side

    I have a sticker on the side I'll take a look to see what it looks like and post a pic..yours looks odd tho for sure. Why not just call dji and ask? You can prolly read off the serial number and they should be able to tell you when and where it was built.. or identify if it's a real dji or not...

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    You do the math.. extra battery's + extra wiring/connectors+ extra accessories = extra weight.. and extra mass for the wind to push around easier.. and for the stock motors which are now working harder.. it can't handle the wind like a stock p3... I never said how high the winds were.. I just...

    Well you guys can believe whatever you want, I know it was windy, just cuz you don't see branches move, (branches that have NO leaves on them) doesn't mean there wasn't high winds.. Iv flown in this area many many many many times, its never been affected by magnetic Feilds and specially not by...

    HDMI cable length for FPV goggles

    I would say 6 foot if your letting friends use the goggles.. and 4 foot if it's only gonna be you.. The extra length is always a good thing tho just cuz you never know in the figure how your setup may change.. also if there is a lot of slack could always just cool it up and zip tie it.. least...

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    I did a comparison.. they do help a lot with penetration.. iv gotten over 7 miles easy with the panel alone, and with the panel and the boosters.. havnt been able to get farther than 7.4 miles due to battery restraints.. but I know for a fact the panel and boosters will go farther Obv than just...

    Sure thing.. In the pictures you Can see how the battery's are mounted.. so it doesn't take much for those external battery's to act like a sail in the wind..

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    Literally there is. I leaves on any of the trees, so not much for the wind to blow.. I assure you it was wind and not erratic behavior on the drones part.. I fought the wind the whole way out, here are some better screen shots to show you my speed on the way out.. this was fully throttle going...

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    Thanks for doing a screen shot of the telephone wires! I was trying to stop it in the right spot and do that myself but it was hard to do with my iPhone .. Thanks man, yah sometimes it's better just to play it safe, and having another 10k feet or so to go, I knew I wasn't gonna make it. That's...

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    No Atti, it was in gps mode, that's just how bad it was tossing me around, I had two external saddle pack battery's on the sides of it, so the extra weight along with just having the batts on the sides like that makes it almost like a sail in that high of wind. I was a good 10k feet out I would...

    Close call with my p3 adv! Nearly hit a few trees and practically grazed some telephone wires!

    So I was out doing some long range flying yesterday cuz it was 50 degrees F out, which is the warmest it's been in months.. I decided to go long, but not too long, so I told myself I would go 30k feet and turn around. It had been windy earlier that day but died down a bit so I decided to go for...

    This is exactly what happened to me.. and exactly what I was talking about/warning him about in my first or second post.. it's just another reason why it isn't wise to have both apps running at once.. why create more havoc or take the chance
