I just got a refurbished P3S to replace the one I crashed in the river. I am not sure if the gimbal movement is normal? Seems the camera pitches up when I rotate to the left. Seem in flight I noticed it rolling not keeping the camera flat? I did make sure I was not in FPV mode.
Problem or am I...
Had a great time flying up in Wisconsin over the 4th right up to the point where I killed my P3 by flying it into a bridge over the Fox River in Appleton. Solid pilot error. I "thought" I was past the end of the bridge flying visually.

Wondering if a Mav...
I flew it straight in. I was flying looking at the drone and thought it was past the end of the bridge. Guess my depth perception was a few feet off.

Update, I put one on hold last night at one of the Game Stops here in Houston from the GameStop web sight. Got the confirmation email and battery was waiting for me when I went to pick it up after work. Tried one Target with the price match and was denied. Same at the first Best Buy. Second Best...
