I have one and am surprised at the quality. Plenty of space for everything Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Sams no longer stocks the 3 standards. I fear I may have to go through DJI for an exchange. This might be a sign that I need to get a mavic when they are available. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Yeah I have done it in wide open fields. Firmware was updated mid November when I bought it. The problem has been getting worse with each flight. I only have a handful of flights. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

I have a phantom 3 standard that has been having compass errors. I have tried to calibrate the compass numerous times and still see issues. Took it out yesterday and was hovering about six feet off the ground. Got a compass stuck error that cleared after 30 seconds or so. When the alarm...

I thought the same thing and after reading through these forums I realized that RTH can occur under several non pilot initiated conditions such as loss of signal and low battery. This is now on my preflight checklist. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I use this... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016OFXALA/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It runs off an external battery bank. It looks somewhat odd but does the job. It takes up very little space as well. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Let me know if you are out this way to fly. I would love to have some one on training lol. Also where are some good spots around here to fly? My neighbor has a place on the river towards Warsaw. Thinking about down there when we have a decent weather day. Sent from my iPhone using...

French fried taters... Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

That is the seller I purchased from. I guess when I said novelty I meant in reference to how those tags are used on aircraft. I was aware of its intended use, but after reading my post I see where it would have seemed I didn't. I work nights and hadn't had any coffee yet lol Sent from my...

Picked these up on eBay. Cool little lens cap, gimbal guard, lens hood, gimbal lock and a novelty keychain. They were $10 shipped. Quality is pretty decent. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I picked a P3S a month or so ago at Sam's on a one day deal. I have toyed with the idea of getting a phantom for a while and after a small amount of research made an impulse buy. I had no idea the amount of features and tech that could be packed into a...
