    Anyone use this warranty service?

    My dad bought a drone and took my broken one to fix it and said that I could get Accidental coverage with Consumer Priority Service. (http://www.cpscentral.com) So was wondering if anyone here ever used them for a drone or other. Reading reviews on Amazon it seems a little mixed. (Amazon.com...

    After great footage in Punta Cana crash back in the USA :-(

    My Dad bought a new Standard and moved the camera/gimbal system to mine and the camera moves with the remote but we have no video whatsoever. Surprisingly the drone does still fly. Anybody replace the camera system and not get video afterwards?

    No matter what I do, I can't calibrate!

    I had the same issue when I bought my drone. I tried everything and then finally sent it in for repairs. Once it came back repaired I had no issues at all to calibrate it. You can see the thread here:New drone - constant double beep from gimble.

    After great footage in Punta Cana crash back in the USA :-(

    So a word of warning on propellor guards. Forget attaching the string they say will add protection. One of these said strings got lose apparently and got entangled in one of my propellers bringing my drone crashing from 100 feet. Camera busted and some frame damage. So upset about this...

    Bestbuy add March 27 to April 2

    When I add the deal to the online cart it DOES add the drone. I guess a trip to a Best Buy store is in order to try and get just the bundle. :)

    traveling to the dominican republic

    I've read mixed reviews at that airport. Some people have no problems others have nightmares of electronics and items stolen. I know I'm going to use TSA locks on my checked luggage and the main items tagged with "returnme" stickers.

    traveling to the dominican republic

    I'm heading there too this summer. I saw photos taken from a tripadvisor and asked the guy if he had any issues. This was his response: << I had no issues at all. I have the DJI hardshell backpack so I took it as carry-on. They checked nothing at customs in either direction. On the way out, they...

    Cheating on the standard....

    I would so love to try the Traxxas Aton. Would have bought it instead of the Phantom but they released it a few weeks I already had purchased the P3.

    New drone - constant double beep from gimble.

    So I got my drone back. No indication of what they accomplished which is frustrating. Not a replacement either. Took it out in the parking lot at my office and I finally got to spin the engines after having it for 4 months. I wasn't able to fly it as my office is close to an airport but with...

    I e-mailed DJI and working on getting an RMA to send it in.

    New drone - constant double beep from gimble.

    So I contacted DJI thru chat. They recommended I format the SDCard and run a magnet in circles around the compass. I went ahead and bought a new, bigger SDCard and then once installed I realized that it's only used to store pics/vids so obviously NOTHING to do with firmware on the gimbal which...

    New drone - constant double beep from gimble.

    I tried again today but still won't calibrate and still beeping. I really think it's defective so I'm sending it back. Not too happy with all the frustrations.

    New drone - constant double beep from gimble.

    Hello, just got an advanced on a Black Friday deal and updated the firmware successfully. I've seen a lot of posts about the beeps but none that say what a double beep means. Is it normal for a new drone to do this? I've read posts about erasing the memory card but on the standard there is...
