I would respectfully agree with everything that LarBear said. Hard to find a better entry level drone for the money which includes the number of features that the P3S does. Although I didn't learn to fly using a P3S, it was my first serious entry into the world of drones. My P3S had some...

Hey rockitman, Great shot. Upstate is a big area. If I can ask, whereabouts in Upstate are you?

You're not alone. On many devices, that little circle can be almost invisible or very difficult to see, especially in bright sunlight.

Don't know if the model's career is finished, but I'd definitely say the pilot's career is in the toilet.

I would agree with Rootman, if the camera/gimbal aren't physically damaged, it should be a relatively inexpensive and worthwhile fix. The white vibration dampeners are cheap and can be found all over eBay. Typically, the clear support pins are sold along with the dampeners. It looks like the...

I doubt that's the video from the card. That has to be the cached video recorded on your device. Depending on the circumstances, what you're seeing isn't unusual. What are the specs for the device you're using, or what device are you using?

I don't bother using a card reader. I just plug my OTG cable into the P4 and download all the videos/photos directly to my tablet.

It might help if you defined "glitching" so we understand what problems you're experiencing.

Like @Technical Bob, I don't have an issue viewing the tablet in bright sun. It actually is quite viewable. For what I paid, and how it performs, 400 nits works fine for me.

An excellent recommendation for your particular situation.

I've been running v1.8.10 ever since the one and only update 18 months ago (which didn't go well). My P3S flies beautifully without any issues and gets some truly outstanding range, considering its inhertent limitations. In some ways, I enjoy it more than my P4. Call me superstitious, but I...

Not sure if this is directly related but I was missing map view in the Go4 app last night. Map view was there the last time I flew (7/12), but last night it was just an empty box. Click on the map box and it's totally blank. Yes, my maps are cached. That's the first time I haven't had map view...

I'm with you on that. I started with a Syma X5-SW, and it taught me a lot about what you can and can't do with a drone. For $60, it was a good training drone. I crashed it a few thousand times, and replaced the props regularly, but it's nearly indestructible and still flies. I just bought all...

Absolutely. You can buy it from a number of different sellers, but I bought mine from Newegg for $250 US because they had the best price at the time. It does have some advantages over a Samsung, but then it also has some quirks that can be annoying but aren't necessarily deal breakers. As long...

As you may have guessed, updating the firmware is a very personal decision, often times shaped by previous experiences. Based on a visible number of less enthusiastic experiences found in this forum, there is some anecdotal evidence which may suggest that, under certain circumstances, you may...
