Hello everyone. Recently I was flying in forest park with lake. Decided to climb higher and suddenly my drone switched to ATTI mode. I performed descending and landing swiftly. Then I found out with my flight log that satellites number was decreasing gradually with altitude gaining - from 16 to...

Yesterday my drone lost GPS almost immediately after takeoff. The Drone immediately climbed to what I expected was the return to home altitude because it disconnected from the controller. I'm not really sure about the altitude but that's my best guess. Then the drone started drifting and I had...

Hi guys, I recently drowned my Phantom 3 Standard and it won't boot up now. I found out that I have to replace the main board and the FC (that little black box on top). I decided to make it a INav build instead. The only problem is that I can't find anywhere the GPS and Compass module pinout. I...

P3S Drone was at about 150 - 200 feet altitude nearly straight up from launch point on a night photo flight over my town tonight. It had been in the air about 5-7 minutes on a fully-charged battery, flying in "P" mode, and holding position in a slight wind via GPS. Suddenly ALL the lights on...

Hey, I have Phantom 3 FC 40 (without any upgrades) and I wanted to know if I should fly the drone from the balcony to outside. Once I tried to turn on the drone in the balcony and the LED indicator showed that below 5 satellites are found even thought when it'll be outside it will have a...

I just flew my p4p in a remote waterfall location, and the p4p did not pick up any satellites until it was up in the air. Once it started flying, it connected to only about 6 or less satellites, but it later loss connection to those satellites. Even with obstacle avoidance and all the sensors...

Hello everyone! Wanted to share an experience I had that surprised and scared me at the same time. The other day I had setup to shoot some video around Baltimore's Inner Harbor. This was going to be my first time flying out over water so I was taking my time getting setup. I did what I always...

My father-in-law had given me his old P2 when he got a new one recently. He took it out for a test flight to show me how it worked and it ended up crashing. Took it inside, updated all the firmware on both drone and transmitter. Took it out for a 2nd test flight and had it hovering around 20-30...

Hi, I'm a newbie and I was today doing my 3rd flight with a F450 with a Naza-M v2 when I noticed that my quad was drifting in GPS mode. I looked to my monitor screen and GPS signal was blinking with a 0 (no GPS satellites). When I took off, I had the signal of 10 satellites and I was not far...

Hi I sent my p3 std back for repairs for damaged imu. They fixed it and sent it back. Now it won't start. It all seems to connect, and I get the camera view, but the rotors won't spin. The camera can be controlled up and down. The gps thing in the app shows 9+ satellites but when I look at the...

Thanks to DJI and the forced update of their app to 3.1.3, I now have a P3p that doesn't lock onto a single satellite! Story goes as such... After upgrading both android devices to the new 3.1.3, I was not able to get my remote to communicate with my RC for a few days. After much pain and...
