    Battery error, or not?

    I believe these are separate issues (I've had that mid flight several times). My issue is during the start up sequence of the AC.

    Battery error, or not?

    Upgraded FW on my P3P, DJI Go, RC and my batteries. At least I think the batteries FW upgrade was succesful, but I'm find no way to verify this. But, when I start up it quickly says "Battery Error". Visible less than 1 second. Nothing else seems off, nothing in the Warnings section in the app...

    RC update failed, USB not working

    iPhone6+ 9.3.1 with P3P successfully upgraded from v1.6.0040 -> V01.08.0080 using the .bin file on the memory card. Before that I upgraded the app, to 2.7.2. But my GL300B RC won't upgrade. It wont even show the video feed! But I can move the camera left/right!? Unsure of RC FW before upgrade...

    Flying around metal

    First, I try to fly as safe as possible and do my best to not launch near metal. But theoretically, let's say I launch from the deck of a ship with somewhat normal compass values. Phantom is calibrated back home out in a field far from magnetic objects, and flown without any errors after that...

    Flying while snowing

    Well there's no sitewide search in the app, but all sections General Forums, Phantom 3, etc, all have a search function. And its not visible by defult… Maybe the reason why phantompilots.com have so many identical threads, compared to other online forums. search for snow|none|search for snow

    GPS Tracker?? Anyone using these with the P3 ?

    Generally it's desirable to add stuff as close to the center of gravity. Mounting on the side is done by many without any trouble. I can understand arguments why one would not want to mount it on the same side as the compass (sensor), not to obstruct GPS/VPS or gimbal/camera. But that a few...

    GPS Tracker?? Anyone using these with the P3 ?

    Doesn't all flying outside (with winds) result in an unbalanced AC where some motors will work harder than others?

    Fall in the Sea

    You've lost a bird and gained a very expensive lesson. One the manual can't teach you. Look on the bright side, you became a better pilot by crashing. (give your self a cheapo Hubsan for christmas)

    Compass Error vs K-index vs Satellites

    If having compass trouble it's best to try and eliminate all sources of error. Such as a bad calibration. Why? Here's a therory of mine, please correct me folks if I'm wrong: So if compass is skewed, but your'e on a location with a strong electromagnetic field it could trick fool you with an...

    Anyone bought a Backpack Cases via Ebay HOBBYTIGER

    Have the same one. Not perfect but well worth it. And its not a shell made up of carbon fiber, its a shell with the _look_ of cf. Here's a great testamonial of the DJI hardshell. I have no proof this ebay backpack is identical to the DJI hardshell, but my guess is that they in fact are made at...

    New P3A arrived - something doesn't match instructions and videos

    Please, I'd love to see photos of the new stuff! "plastic shipping thingy", are you referring to the gimbal clamp? Yep, the P3 will suffer alot more damage than a lightweight drone. Arms can get bent from a 8ft fall!

    Crash advice?

    First I'm sorry for your crash. Did you takoff with proper sensor values? Did healthydrones say anything about signal errors? TX charged, antennas in proper position? Did you (have time to) go into Atti-mode? Any odd things in the surroundings that can explain it's behaviour? Is that an...
