The P3P uses 2.4 and 5.8GHz to communicate between the RC and the aircraft. Those are not traditional "wifi" signals, they just happen to use the same frequencies as wifi. One frequency is used for control and the other for video transmission. As SKY-SPY said, the P3P uses a USB cable for...

I have looked through all the threads and found nothing on this. I have two remotes, one generates NO wifi SSID at all, the other will sometimes generate a wifi SSID, but it then goes away. Sometimes it stays around long enough to connect but never long enough to actually do anything in the...

Oh man... just posted my videos and then saw yours... Thats an expensive drone in crap weather in a bad spot... nice recovery. I like the sling shot weight launcher... a new tool for the future. Certainly expensive enough drone to warrant hiring people.

From your respons in this thread it sounds like you have given up on getting it back... which is fine, but the topic is still a worthy one and funny responses aside, I think it is worth posting a few approaches that may help people. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of experience in this arena...

So far all the repliews have been very helpful. Thanks. I have replaced my gimbal ribbon cable and have partial operation. it gimbals in the yaw and pitch directions and I have video... sweet... But it has roll issues. Which brings me to my next identification question... Looking at gimbal...

Thanks. So the next question is, are there identifiers on the gimbal/camera that differentiate them? Looking for used gimbal and camera parts on places like eBay its clear that sellers are as clueless about all of the various models and compatibilities as I am (was?)

I am reading this and understanding that there are THREE different 4K cameras? P3P 4K P3 SE 4K P3 4K And the only two that interchange are the P3P and P3A where you can swap the P3P 4K and the P3A 2.7K cameras with the appropriate firmware. I am still sorting out P3 models... got this from...

Can I ask for some clarification here as I am new to Phantom 3 world (just picket one up used) I thought there were the following models... Phantom 3 which I think is the same as Phantom 3 Standard or P3S which has 2.7K camera and sends standard def to operator Phantom 3 Advanced which I...

I am Canadian and occasionally fly my drones in FAA space while on vacation (registered and marked). I find it absurd that FAA would expect remote I.D. on small drones but (if I understand the FAA rules correctly) ultra light aircraft, paragliders and maybe even EAA aircraft are allowed to fly...
