Accessories needed

High Flyer_10 · Oct 21, 2016

I've had my P3 for two weeks and flying is so uplifting. Is there anything to buy that is a must have or accessories. So far I have ordered prop guards, antenna signal boost, and a gimbal guard

If you mean the white one with the pot metal clip then no, almost cost me my remote and tablet when the clip broke.

Or if you like the white with DJI all over it cut the clip off (it isn't hard it is crappy) and replace it with something more substantial.

Now that looks like a good setup for the price.

That's a much better one than the white one.

Yeah, I think I would like the shoulder bearing strap better than the neck strap. I have a Turnigy wide strap setup. It works ok but after a while with an 8 inch tablet it does still dig into the neck. Gonna think about the shoulder setup soon.

I didn't really have much of an issue with the white one with digging in, it was when the clasp broke and set everything tumbling to the ground, including my Tab S2.

I did like the quick and easy, the shoulder one is a bit more cumbersome to get in, especially with a bum shoulder.

The WaterStrider can expand the operational capability of your P3 by allowing you to land virtually anywhere (including on water) worry free. It also has a built-in gimbal guard that is seriously durable. Check it out.
