Obviously everyone's situation is different, and I don't claim to know yours (you could have been in the middle of nowhere...) But generally speaking, firing a gun up into the air isn't a great idea. If you miss the limb, that bullet's gotta come down somewhere, and ideally not on you or someone...

They are way too expensive to be just "Phantom Compatible". I am going to return them. I guess I'll just bite the bullet and vastly over-pay to buy them in a Best Buy, since I'm not going to deal with ordering from DJI again.

They were advertised as DJI batteries, but upon arrival, they appear to be generic. They don't even say "PHANTOM" on them, like my OEM battery does. Is there a way I can tell for sure?

Update: Ok, so the douchebag of the year award goes to me. I realized I didn't check the mail today. Batteries are here. I take back all the bad things I said about DPP. (Although it would have been nice if they had provided a tracking number.)

****. That doesn't bode well for me. Son of a *****, I just wish I could get some **** batteries! I cancelled my order with DJI because it took over two weeks. Now it looks like I'll have to dispute my order with DPP because they never shipped my batteries and they (conveniently) don't...

When did you order from them? I ordered from them on Janurary 15th and chose expedited shipping, and it's now the 20th and I haven't heard from them or seen my package yet. I was getting a little nervous. Admittedly, your post has eased my fears a little bit, but I'd still like to see my...

I normally fly my P3a in P-mode, and every time I do it tells me that a firmware update is required. I'm currently on version 1.5.30+. No big deal, everything seems to work fine. I switched to F-mode on my controller and booted up, and suddenly I notice that that message is gone. So I check...

I got that error last week while ascending and reversing both at full throttle. It was also pretty cold outside. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but figured I'd mention it. Anyway, I backed off the throttle and haven't seen it since.

What are those little round knobs you've got on the end of your control sticks? What's the advantage? Comfort? I think they look cool.

Update: Replaced the gimbal yaw arm and now everything is great! Phew, that was a close one! Sent from my Nexus 6P using PhantomPilots mobile app

Could someone please link me to the exact part that needs replacing? I'm still not exactly sure. Sent from my Nexus 6P using PhantomPilots mobile app

Don't order from DJI. Their customer service is so terrible I was willing to risk it for a company I'd never heard of. (dronepartspro) I ordered two batteries from DJI two weeks ago (web page says ships one day after purchase) and they still haven't shipped them. I finally just ordered from...

Maybe I should have researched first, but I just ordered two batteries from them yesterday. I'll report back in a few days on my experience.

So, I stupidly tested out the waypoint feature in Litchi before setting the default altitude. Hit a tree, and now my gimbal looks like this. Camera still works and so does gimbal up and down movement. It's just hanging weird. Any suggestions, or should I send it in for repair? Pictures in...

Are you just linking me to that thread to show me how many people have been having problems? Because that's exactly why I'm asking. What about the warranty issue? Is my AC still covered if I'm not on the newest FW?
