    Anyone else have these new motors with any comparison to the old motor? I ordered a P3 from Amazon and it came with the old motors.

    Failed upgrade

    I upgraded to the new firmware and it stopped after 25 minutes. No blinking or anything after 25 minutes. Checked the text file and said it wasn't complete. Reinstalled battery and now the Phantom just loud beeps. What should I do?

    DJI App questions about camera settings

    P3 with iPad Air 2 white FPV lines

    On my iPad Air 2 I get white lines on some areas of the screen picture. Usually on things that have a geometric shape like a window or something with tiles. What is that? Is there a way to get rid of that? Not a huge deal, but slightly annoying.
