beginner

Hi, I am new to this forum having just acquired my very own P3S after having flown the Hubsan X4 for a year. Yesterday I was out flying for the first time in my backyard. I had previously calibrated the compass on the P3 indoors (yeah i know - read the manual! - stupid thing to do)...

Aloha. My wife was amazing this Christmas and bought me a drone. However, when I figured out how much she spent, I realized with a little more of my Christmas cash I could by a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. Now I've read a lot of reviews, mostly on Amazon, and there seems to be some love/hate stuff...

Hi all, Have used the forum for a few months before getting my first drone (P3S) at Christmas, have found it very helpful and informative, thank you! I just wanted to drop all the newcomers a few notes about some things that I've experienced during the first few flights as I've come very close...

I'm brand new to the FPV drone experience. I've done gas-engine RC flying, but the idea of FPV drone flying certainly seems to trump that. To start small and at minimum cost, I've been advised to (i) download the DRL simulator, which I now have done onto my desktop PC, big screen and plenty...

Hello all, I am purchasing my first drone, specifically the P3A. I have no experience flying a drone, but having been doing a lot of research via YouTube and on this website. Is there anything I should know specifically as a first time user? If there is any advice I would greatly appreciate it...

I am a complete beginner in drones, but after I had bought the Phantom 4 I made a real effort by listening and trying to understand tutorials, but I am completely stuck. My problem ist that the remote controller does *not* connect to the aircraft and the most frustrating thing is that in the...

Hi, Just joined today after buying my first drone. Phantom 3 Pro. Probably be none stop watching tutorials and pestering everyone here for the next while. John.

I recently purchased a p3 standard and a nexus 7 to use as ground control. Ive seen a few people mention running tablet in aeroplane mode, but does this not disable the wifi as well any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

Hey fellow drone flyers, I have been looking into a possible business idea its in the very early stage and i need help from you all. What i need is an idea of how many people in the drone community would be willing to pay a membership annually for use of a drone racing track fully lit with led...

My drone will be arriving tomorrow, July 1st. I have a Syma X5C which got me to love drones, and I'm fairly good at flying it, so basic flying advice isn't super necessary. What are some things I should do right out of the box? For reference, I'm running a Galaxy S7 for the control, as my iPad...

Hey everyone! I always enjoy reading this forum and found this to be the best place for all-things Phantom! I actually created a course for (very) beginner DJI pilots and wanted to give you the max. discount of 50% off just for Phantom Pilot members. Please don't share this around the web...

Hi Everyone! My name is Kate and I just joined Phantom Pilots. I look forward to being active in this forum and am excited to meet some of you. I have created a beginner dji course, and have over 1800 students with raving reviews. I wanted to offer it here, but will give you a special promo...

We took our shared Phantom 4 out for a flight over Formby beach near Liverpool in the UK, during the good weather last weekend giving some nice sunset flying. This was our second flight/video so we were controlling it very gingerly, and in the edit I can see that we missed out opportunities for...
