Maybe it was 60%. I went by whatever explanations I was going by and it may well have been 60% instead of 50. I remember flying the drone until it registered whatever the target was. I charged both of them and the controller and they all said they got a full charge. How to see the battery cell...

I have a Phantom 3 Advanced and way back in 2017 is was able to use it with my Samsung Galaxy Express 3 J120A phone. Then I lost that phone and replaced it with another one, but didn't re-install the DJI GO app because I didn't fly the drone for a while. Now I want to fly it again but am getting...

Hi, Since I first saw one I have loved and still do love the Phantom type drones and in August of 2017 finally bought a refurbished P3A: http://www.ebay.com/itm/332313814781?ul_noapp=true Not knowing some of the specifics I calibrated the compass incorrectly which resulted in flying it into a...

Can someone tell me the best way to update a Phantom 3 Advanced? Is it called firmware? A friend at work suggested we can go to a particular web page with our PC and then plug the drone into the PC and it will do everything else automatically. But in my manual I believe it says to update the...

I've asked about video problems before and stupidly didn't update my notes. If I remember correctly since I'm using a PC it should be set to MP4 not MOV, is that correct? Also things look jumpy not smooth and I was told to reduce the video size which I did and things smoothed out, but then I...

I didn't know that was possible. Didn't see it in the manual and this is the first I've heard about that. I did see the padlock icon though.

Where would you suggest sending a P3A for repair, if it's worth repairing at all? The camera has broken off the arm and two of the propellers have broken. One of the arms seems ok but another looks bent and the half of the blade that remains hits the arm when it's rotated. Thank you for any...

Can you get the arrow on the map to represent the way the drone is facing? OR what is the way the arrow is pointing relative to the way the drone is facing? I noticed that the way the arrow was pointing was significantly to the right, when facing forward from my and the drone's pov, of the way...

Used my new P3A for the first time today and everything went well except for the video. It recorded using the 16GB card that came with it formatted to FAT32 and transferred to my PC with no problem, but playing it back it's not smooth but instead is jerky, like it will play then pause then play...

Thank You!

Thank you people for your help!!! I've already got a question. I downloaded the DJI GO App to my phone and fought through the registration stuff finally getting it to open, but then it doesn't show a Phantom 3 it shows an Inspire and has options for Inspire 1 Raw or Inspire 1. So did I download...

Hi, I've had a few much lesser drones and learned some basic things but next week I should be getting my first Phantom 3 Advanced. It's manufacturer refurbished so hopefully in great condition. I read somewhere that it has some sort of visual positioning as well as GPS and that it's a good idea...

I can't afford $500. I could barely afford $400. So at this point it's a standard or nothing. I did recently order a LiDiRC L15W for $37 and that may end up being good enough. At least I can afford that sort of price. If I could get a P3A for $300-$400 I'd probably give it a shot. What about...

Thank you and thank all of you!!! for your help. That cleared it up for me. At first I thought he meant it would pivot horizontally but now I see what he was saying and it makes sense. So to be sure, you can have the vehicle (what do you call the "vehicle"?) hover in place and pivot, or Yaw...

It's not just a bit more money though. It's about twice the price. I saw an advanced advertised for $400 in classifieds in this forum and would probably have bought that but the guy never emailed me a second time so he probably sold it. What's the use in going 3 miles away though? Can you even...
