wet

[knocking on wood before typing this] I landed my trusty, age-worn Phantom 3 Standard safely on the rear hatch of my boat last weekend. It was breezy but I managed to track the deck and set her down, grateful I didn’t have to try a hand-catch. But after touching down on the deck with the...

Hi! Got a P3A from my friend for repair, since he managed to dip the Phantom under water. He shut it down and left it, since he noticed the gimbal was limb. He got a new drone from his insurance company and now all we have left is a flying drone without a gimbal. I have started tracing possible...

Hello, I had to fly in humid conditions (just humid, fog/mist in a rainforest - not heavy rain) and somehow humidity got trapped inside camera. gimbal is acting erratically and i have problem lowering camera down and pulling it up. seems something inside not moving smoothly. additionally, when...

So I was flying my Phantom up a road on a hill and did something stupid, which was to turn a curve around the mountain and the Phantom got disconnected.

I got my Phantom 4 a little wet while flying at 393.6 ft into the clouds. It returned home fine, but when I tried to restart it after drying it out for 45 minutes, it makes a clicking noise. I plan to let it dry for several days before trying to restart. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

went too close to some branches and hit them. The drone fell into a flooded creek (from recent rain) and was sumerged in about 3 feet of water for 12 hours. The following morning the flooding had gone and was able to retrieve it. Took the battery out and cleaned/dried the drone up as much as I...

After a few months without flying (work is busy) I decided to bust out my Phantom 3 pro and started charging the controller. Meanwhile I was thirsty a few hours later and set a fresh glass of blue gatorade precariously above my controller (charging on the floor). Somehow I knocked it over and...
