    [SOLD ]P3P for parts or repair

    Hi guys, I also forgot to mention that there is a 3D printed lens-cover/gimbal restraint that I'm not sure is shown in the photos. WRT the ballpark $, that is a valid question but I haven't had a chance to look into what this stuff is selling for these days; I plan to do that later tonight...

    [SOLD ]P3P for parts or repair

    Hey all, I have a Phantom 3 Pro + some accessories for sale for parts. I planned on putting these up on Fleabay but figure I'd give fellow PhantomPilots a shot first. The aircraft in question was involved in an incident as described here: RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in...

    RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in crash

    Per Meta4 above it apparently takes 3 seconds to shut the motors down and RTH initiated after I held it down for less than that. You understood correctly. It was very unlucky timing but ultimately if either I made sure that the P3P never flew under any obstructions AND/OR DJI SW didn't...

    RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in crash

    I didn't know about the flight mode switch cancel, it all happened very fast and I was kind of in shock for a moment why the heck it started bolting upward and by the time I got my finder on the phone it was too late. The switch cancel may have saved me but ultimately my portion of the blame...

    RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in crash

    Hi guys, Thanks for all the feedback. Sorry to keep some y'all waiting but I have other stuff going on in my life so thanks for your understanding. The driveway the P3P landed on was gravel, no rebar under it. Landing point was also higher then the take-off point which someone above...

    RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in crash

    That's definitely what happened, I'm just not sure why it initiated RTH when it was already on the ground. I guess the motors need to be stopped? The landing location was about 30m from the take-off point if I was to estimate w/o looking at the map/logs. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I...

    RTH initiated while P3P was on the ground resulting in crash

    Hi guys and gals, I was on vacation a couple weekends ago and flew my P3P. One the second flight I landed the P3P in a few dozen feet from where it took off - on a more level part of my relatives' driveway instead of the street. As un-luck would have it, even thought it was on the ground and...

    Question for those who fly a P3P with HDMI module

    Initial one was GL300B, the next was C and C presently. Someone on RC groups P3 owners thread said it's a known issue and DJI is working on it. Said to stay on 1.6.0 for the time being so I have renewed faith that they'll fix it, even though it seems like I'm the only one having this...

    Question for those who fly a P3P with HDMI module

    Finally got another TX back from DJI. This one does not have range issues so the problem was definitely with the last one that they sent me. For S&G I tried it with the v1.8.0 firmware but the video artifact started acting up just like on the other ones. going back to v1.6.0 cleared it up...

    Question for those who fly a P3P with HDMI module

    I meant the antennas on the transmitter (TX), not the aircraft. ;)

    Expecting first ever phantom3s next week...

    That also - do not forget to set your RTH height appropriately; but I was actually referring to checking for the signal between AC and TX; both video and control, to ensure both are working OK some distance from each other.

    Expecting first ever phantom3s next week...

    I'm sure these are in any typical checklist but I always inspect the props and motor-mount points. I've gotten complacent and have not been doing ground range checks and that almost bit me in the butt yesterday so I'm definitely going to start doing that again.
