    Drone doesn't always start flying with controls or app

    My P3S will take off and hover at about 5 feet if I tap the take-off button on the app but will not respond to any stick inputs. It will also land and shut off the motors if I tap the land button. Is that what yours is doing?

    Intro and need help

    Yup, that was the first problem which is now fixed by replacing the camera. Now it's got another issue. Will hover when on-screen app button is used but will not respond to stick inputs. However, I know the transmitter is working because I can move the camera gimbal up and down.

    Intro and need help

    Welcome. I bought a battery for my P3S which works fine. However, after sitting for a few years it's got other problems which I won't get into here and probably don't apply to Turkey. Hope all goes well for you.

    Drone doesn't always start flying with controls or app

    My PS3 sorta does the same thing. It will take off and hover if I use the app but won't respond to any stick inputs once it's hovering. I'm pretty sure it's not the transmitter because I can tilt the camera up and down. I've been trying different suggestions for a couple of months now and...

    Phantom 3 Standard Factory reset for new user???

    Welcome to the forum. I think I'm gonna try that. Maybe it will solve the problem I've been dealing with. If it doesn't nothing is lost since right now, my phantom (as far as I'm concerned) 3 is an expensive brick.

    Phantom 3 standard still thinks there's geofencing

    thanks for replying again. Changing firmware is my last option. If I remember correctly there is a warning message. I'll check to see what it says (again). Forth Worth Thunderbirds flying field is a FRIA. Might go try there. If that doesn't work I'll try reinstalling the app. I think I'll...

    Phantom 3 standard still thinks there's geofencing

    I tried, but so far wasn't able to. Connected my tablet to my home wifi and went into the DJI Go app. I could see where the fly safe database was listed but nothing happens when I tab on it.
