noob

Hello all, new poster and soon a new pilot as well. I've been dreaming of owning a real drone for about 5 years and am finally in a position to be able to afford one. I've read and read, watched hours upon hours of videos and reviews and I think I've settled on the P4P. Up until now my only...

Hello everyone, I'm JI_JI_SAN and after trying a few less expensive drones over the past year or so, I won a P4 from an online contest. Already enjoying taking videos and pictures in my area. Looking forward to cherry blossom season and BBQ's so I can get some great panoramas and videos. That...

Hi all, im new in this forum and in the drone world, I never had a drone before but now im planning to buy a P4P to take aerial photos,videos... and offer my services to anyone that needs a drone for that. So is it worth it or should i buy a cheaper one? Does the people have interest in those...

Hi Everyone, About two days ago I joined the ranks of phantom pilots as my refurbished DJI Phantom 3 Standard arrived in the mail. This my first drone I have ever owned so I am still getting used to setting things up and using it comfortably. Upon setting up my drone and flying it the first few...

Hey everyone. I'm new, and I'm screwed. I was flying my work's P4Pro yesterday on Sport Mode, and it suddenly lost all connection. I'm new to flying, but I've flown enough to have noticed that this was different: usually when I lose signal, it goes in and out and is usually corrected within a...

Judge me how you will but Im new at this and Im trying super hard to learn as much as i can about both flying and photography.Im registered-contacted air traffic controller to fly and kept my drone within line of site-cant miss those trusty flashing led lights .I hope you enjoy also tell me-is...

Im sure im not alone in being obsessed with my equipment (the drone )Surfing amazon for attachments 24-7 like we just fathered a Phantom...but in this below freezing midwest weather,Im learning how important the actual PILOT is!Like along with advice regarding upgrades I wish someone reminded me...

Long story short-Im a noob who ,if not for this forum matching my every google search verbatim,wouldnt know where to begin.Not one post is lame if you ask me. With that being said let me get on to my lame questions-lol. Im in Cincinnati-great cityscape without any major obstacles from my...

I got a 3 Pro from a friend. It may have had a crash (waiting to hear back) as one of the propellers was slightly damaged. I replaced all 4 with new DJI propellers. Booted everything up (after reading all the manuals) and had to do multiple rounds of controller updates. Now overall status is...

Greetings and salutations! My name is Craig, and I'm from Seaford, Long Island. I just picked up a Phantom 3 Standard UAS. How could I not? The prices are incredible for the holiday season. I've read up on all the basic information, and have learned just enough to be dangerous. I'm...

Hi all! Yes, I'm a noobie in every sense of the word - never done RC anything before, so of course I figure I'm prepared for flying a drone ... o_O Actually, I do a lot of photography (landscapes, weddings/events) and decided to add the Ph4 to my arsenal. I expect great things, if not great...

Hi, I was flying my drone today 10 feet high-pressed the return to home button and instead of coming back the drone automatically flew straight up-hit a tree- and crashed on the ground dismembering the ribbon cable strip and causing other minor damage as far as I can tell. the metal attachment...

Hi I'm setting here waiting on my P3P to show up,,, tracking says today is the day. It's snowing and cold so I'll just have to read all the instructions and charge all the batteries. I went online and seen the damage noobs do to their living room by starting up inside house on first day. Think...

Hi everyone. I'm the proud new owner of a P3A that I got about a week ago. Still trying to break it in and feel entirely confident flying it around, and this forum has been an invaluable resource for me, so thanks a bunch! Hopefully going forward I'll be able to contribute just as much as this...

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say hi. My name is Topher and I run a photography/videography business in Austin, TX. I am currently waiting for my Inspire 1 with the cinema RAW X5R camera to ship from DJI, but I just couldn't wait any longer, so I ordered a Phantom 3 pro in the meantime. I...

Hi there, So I just bought a P3A as my first ever quad. Super excited to get out and fly! However, I am a complete noob and have no flying experience. A few people have recommended buying a Syma X5c for practice before I start flying the phantom. Is this worth doing? After spending £800 on the...

Even though I have read of success using an HTC One (M8) as a monitoring device, I believe I am not having the same luck. I have the latest DJI Go app loaded. I turn on the controller, then the P3P and connect the HTC to the controller and launch the app. I am signed in, but camera view is not...
