    SOLD: P3A controller and batteries

    Lost my P3A in the ocean so selling the controller and all my batteries. There are 3 batteries, all DJI. The one in the box is brand new never used. Only recharged twice. The other 2 batteries are in great shape, charge to 100%. Bought them about 5 months ago when I got the drone. Used...

    Drone in the drink

    Decided to try to fly my P3A off my sailboat. Wind was maybe 8 knots. Set it on the biggest open area on the boat I had. Take off, wind gust, blows the drone into the mast, bounces on the deck, bounces overboard. In about 2 seconds it had disappeared from view in 25' of ocean water.

    Can't delete video from sd card

    Put the Micro SD card in a standard SD card adaptor to view on the computer. I can download the pictures and video onto the computer but can't seem to delete anything from the Micro SD card? I'm using an apple imac desktop.

    New battery storage

    Thanks, I had seen that post before. I've been keeping my other 3 in that range when storing. Just wasn't sure about the uncharged 4th one. Guess I'll charge it and keep it that range. Thanks

    New battery storage

    Bought a new DJI batter on Ebay a couple weeks ago. While waiting for it to arrive, I saw the $50 Game stop battery thread and picked up 2 more at Target. With the Ebay battery I now have 4. So far I've been fine using only 3 of the batteries. I haven't charge the Ebay battery yet. Can I...

    RTH question

    If I have my RTH height set at 200' and I'm flying above that, if the RTH gets enabled, will it lower the drone down to 200' or stay at the current height I'm at?

    Best Place to Buy P3a?

    I bought a used one on Ebay. Hadn't had a drone before so took a chance. Only had about a month but no problems, works well. Hadn't thought about the lack of warranty. Would probably buy from a reseller if I bought a new one. Like someone else said, look at the re-furbished. Usually good...

    what firmware

    Didn't want to create a new thread for the same subject but just got a used P3A a couple of weeks ago. Only been out a few times with it but doesn't seem to have any issues as far as I can tell. Seem to be behind a few firmware versions but going through some of the threads, some people are...

    What would you do?

    If you are new to flying, I'd practice in a field first. My yard isn't as bad as yours but pretty close. I had a Parrot Bebop originally. Hit the trees a few times when first going out. It's hard to judge how close the branches are especially when are you have to use the ipad to see when...

    Upgraded from Parrot 2.0 to DJI Phantom 3 standard

    Cabokalz, I just got my P3A a couple of weeks ago also. Practiced in my backyard for a week just to get a handle on the controls. Don't think I flew higher than 8'. Last weekend went out for the first time in a big open field. Just did some big loops but was nice not to have to worry about...
