For sale is my like-new Speedy Prop Balancer. I bought it new last year, balanced about 8-10 props, for which it worked great, and ended up selling my Phantom 3 and upgrading. Now I find it's just sitting here. Everything is original and just as it came...in the original box, etc. Will work on...

Sale has been withdrawn...sorry. Decided to keep for now.

For Sale is my DJI Phantom 3 Standard drone. Bought new, only flown 30 times for a total of about 4.5 hours. Like new condition. Perfect working order. Drone only, as it comes from the factory, in the box (1 battery.charger, controller, all accessories, etc.) for: $325 Spare OEM Battery...

I've seen some YouTube videos using super glue AND baking soda to seal up a lot of breaks/cracks. It makes a bond better than the super glue alone can do. I've yet to try it but demos I've seen look promising. It's worth a shot to try.

My friend had a similar problem with his drone and it was a disconnected compass wire. Your results may be different, but it would do everything but fire up the motors and take off.

The variable ISO of today's digital sensor simulates the ASA/ISO sensitivity of the film days, but even film could not hold the entire range of a scene, all the time. So into the darkroom you would go and dodge (lighten) or burn (darken) areas that need to be fine tuned. The best bet is to...

I'd like to muddy the waters a bit...and forgive my rant...it may seem off topic...but may make some sense... Along with flying my drone, I'm a professional photographer and have been for the past 30+ years. Do you have any idea how many people with cameras are out shooting jobs that 'should'...

Had anyone had any experience with the green.l brand of variable ND filters for a P3 Standard? Or, rather than variable, is there a particular ND filter strength that you find is your go-to?

I ventured to Lackawanna State Park yesterday. To quote the state park website: Drone Restrictions: To protect park resources, limit conflict with other park users, and avoid safety and privacy liabilities, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), remotely piloted vehicles (RPV) or unmanned aircraft...

I finally found it... When the app first launches, the option comes up briefly on-screen, then goes away if you don't click into it.

May be late to the thread, but I'm in Scranton and always looking for new places to fly...

I have a Phantom 3 standard and am using the latest version of the DJI Go app on Android / Galaxy. I can't find the compass calibration option. I can find the IMU calibration but the compass is no where to be found. Thanks for any help. It's driving me nuts.

I have a Phantom 3 Standard. I fully charge the controller and batteries after use. My question is, if I'm going to use the drone within a few days to a week, should I plug everything back in and top off the batteries and controller, or is it not necessary? Thanks!
