YOU IDIOT!!! Just kidding of course. That's the sort of thing that could happen to anyone. The best part is that the drone survived with relatively minor damage. When you said he was topping the tree I was sure it was going to be total loss. Nice to read some happy endings now and then.

Believe it or not your P3P will be easier to fly than your sons cheap brand x. I read the manual and all tips such as those by Oso. By the time my P3P arrived I was ready to register, setup, and give it a go.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 8.0" works great with a couple caveats. Don't check the box to make DJI Go the default app and once you connect your tablet you have to go into settings, developer options, usb configuation, and change to RNDIS (USB Ethernet). Once you do that your good until you...

You can frequently find batteries for this "sale" price. Amazon has had it, Drone Nerds, Best Buy etc. I hate the way DJI gouges us for their batteries. If they really want to thank us, drop another $25 off the price.

Everyone just stay home, stay inside, and watch TV at a low volume. You won't disturb anyone or wildlife and no one gets hurt.

How is this a good price?

I had zero problems and a great experience buying my P3P refurb from the DJI store through NewEgg. I know many others had a good experience as well.

I have a Canon 80D and I do use knock off batteries there. I researched to find highly rated reliable batteries, and they have been great.

It's a high quality pack on par with the Go Professional- it might be better. The P3 sits lower in the foam than most packs and does a good job protecting the motors. For a closer look check out this Youtube review: I have not seen this pack "quite a bit cheaper" on eBay with shipping. I...

$92.52 US shipped. Not bad, are they legit?

Yes I posted a deal around the beginning of the month where they were $104 at Amazon. They can be had for less than retail as I stated, but even at $119 or even $104 they are overpriced. I got lucky with a NewEgg sale and B&H price match + gift card for my 2 extra batteries.

The only thing that annoys me about DJI is their battery prices. $150 for a 4S Lipo with balance board? It's ridiculous. I have been able to get them cheaper with coupons and sales. They get close to $100 from time to time....but even that seems high. They are gouging us with the battery...

Any thoughts on how to remove the antenna without breaking anything?

It's not comfortable or natural for me to hold the controller tilted toward me. Would rather have the antennas do the work.
