    First Crash, How to go about fixing broken gimbal?

    I had my first crash with my P3A about a week ago. Pilot error and clipped a tree and broke the gimbal arm and ribbon cable. I did a few internet searches and ended up buying a gimbal arm replacement kit that included a ribbon cable as well for around $41. Watched a few YouTube videos and...

    Amazon Customer Service

    Similar experience last fall with a quirky P3A. Also a Prime member. Makes it a no brainer for me to do business with them.

    Portions of P3A images are blurry

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking for perfection LOL!!! The right side of the shot does look a little blurry compared to the left side. It's actually one of my favorite shots at the moment so I'm happy, just always looking for that extra tweak I guess.

    Portions of P3A images are blurry

    I'm chasing the same thing with my P3A. I have made one attempt using the guide in this thread and seem to have made some improvement but after looking at this shot for instance I think there is some room for improvement (maybe). This was cleaned up in LR btw. I'm not thrilled with some of...

    Compass cal revelation - duh!

    All in all a learning experience. No harm really although I did get a good laugh with the gloves though. For the record I really do like the gloves . But they will need to stay far away from the AC. I think my main reason to post this was to maybe raise/reinforce the point of how the...

    Compass cal revelation - duh!

    Would the compass be impacted by a close magnet even if the AC was not powered?

    Compass cal revelation - duh!

    Never afraid to share a mistake and this is a good one . I have a P3A and am relatively new to the drone world. Was chasing compass errors and ended up returning my original and got a replacement thru Amazon. New one flew great. No compass issues at all. Then out of the blue I started having...

    Compass cal on iPad?

    Well...now that you ask that's a interesting question. My iPhone has a compass app. You have to roll the phone in a circular motion to move this red ball around the screen. When you asked it dawned on me to look for it on my iPad. I can't even find it. Have it on my phone for sure but don't...

    Compass cal on iPad?

    I don't have a significant number of flights on my P3A but a couple of times when I'm firing things up my iPad wants to do a compass calibration and it is confusing me a little. The iPad does not have any internet connectivity, Yesterday when it did this I had compass errors on the AC and it...

    Newbie with a bad aircraft?

    I will tell you that my story mirrors yours exactly. I got mine a week ago and been chasing these dang compass errors and switching form GPS to ATTI mode. Talked to Amazon yesterday and will have a replacement today. Supposed to be a high wind rain/snow weekend so not sure when I will get the...
