I would tend to agree ! Hope a cost effective repair is possible. Cheers

I think you've been reading too much DJI propaganda ! Their so called "new" features and "benefits" have been far outweighed by new "RESTRICTIONS and LIMITATIONS" in my opinion.

Firstly let me say that I feel pain for the newby at crashing his drone..... BUT it is absolutely proven from the flight data that it was entirely due to pilot inexperience / error. It has nothing to do with DJI updates resetting default parameter values. DJI warn that values could be reset to...

I agree with the previous post by Nigel. My aftermarket battery (which performs identically to my DJI OEM batteries) is labelled "GiFi" on the side panel where the genuine DJI battery is labelled "Phantom". Apart from the label, the case including the Green and Red LED's appear physically...

Yes, I'm afraid that is very real problem now with the later versions of DJI firmware and their deliberate attempts to prevent DJI drone owners buying aftermarket batteries at less than 50% of their OEM prices !!

Hi Mark, Yes WA..Perth...retired so travel a lot and fly the done wherever I can! I posted the software info on your new thread. Happy Flying...

I have 3 Genuine DJI batteries and 1 aftermarket off Ebay. When I originally purchased, DJI batteries were priced in Australia at around AUD$279 each and my Ebay battery cost me AUD$85. All 4 perform absolutely the same to this day. As I have never updated the P3A firmware (Cause it just...

Back to the original question..." What ND filters do I need for shooting sunsets?" In my opinion, ND filters are only useful to control the amount of light reaching the camera lens and are mainly used when shooting video. So if you are filming in very bright daylight, the camera will need to be...

And the relevance to this thread is ??..................................

As I said previously, none of the "high Tech" companies get it right all the time.I don't think many people fully appreciate the complexity of a modern drone loaded with multiple electronic subsystems just because they come in a small package! Remember that a device of this complexity and...

Wow that's a very large negative serve on DJI ! My experience is somewhat different however......Had my Phantom 3 Adv. for nearly 2 years flying on the original "as supplied" firmware and it just works ! ....Brilliantly, even despite 2 minor crashes. It seems to me that one of the biggest...

74 with a P3A

Welcome aboard Rogere. I would second the advice from previous response. Also......read and re read the instruction manuals until you fully understand them. Flying your drone without doing your homework first will place you at high risk of aircraft disaster!

Sorry to hear about your problems. Just in case you are not aware.....The correct firmware upgrade file for your Phantom 3 Advanced is P3S_FW_V101.11.0020.bin and not P3A_FW_V01.11.0020.bin (The P3A bin file is for the Phantom 3 Pro and may explain why your drone was recognised as a P3 Pro model...
