Follow is a new introductory video on the Pilot App Upgrade-- a pretty good orientation for all the bells and whistles
You are always welcome-- I spend a lot of time on You Tube collecting knowledge on the P3-- with regard to knowledge, you can go from the novice level to some advanced level of understanding the P3 and all it's functions and controls as well as all the problems, issues.Bob,
Excellent tutorial - as Jay says, very little in the way of user guide - found out more on here than anything on the DJI documentation/site/videos.
Appreciate your time and effort!

I found the PDF user guide within the Pilot app under the help menu. There is also a cool flight simulator app.Bob,

Thank you for posting. That is the best video I have seen for the P3. Just one question for anyone that knows the answer. I was filming the other night. I was filming at 3200 iso. I opened the advanced controls & set it to 100 iso. As soon as I closed it, it jumped back to 3200. My question is, once you close it, is it supposed to automatically go back to auto mode?
Another question: The tear-shaped H-button seems to allow me to select which location is Home: takeoff point or the controller location.
I assume this allows me to reset the controller home point if I move, right? And the takeoff home point never changes. So if I engage RTH, can I then select which home?
Yes .. there are two choices for manually setting home point.The tear-shaped H-button seems to allow me to select which location is Home: takeoff point or the controller location.
I assume this allows me to reset the controller home point if I move, right? And the takeoff home point never changes. So if I engage RTH, can I then select which home?
If you change the home point to the aircraft, the elevation during return to home will use your Pilot app specified setting plus the current altitude of the aircraft above your launch location, adding them together, for safety, unless it is currently below your launch altitude.
Or .. if you have a GPS enabled tablet you can choose Dynamic Home Point where the location of the controller becomes the home point and is updated every few seconds.
It is not well documented, but, according to bladestrike, who works in DJI tech support, within 60 feet of the transmitter, RTH is designed to only land in place. It will not climb to the RTH altitude or return to the Home Point, unless over 60 feet from the transmitter.Actually this doesn't appear true in my experience. I've tested this on my P3P, and unless it's not working correctly, it IGNORES the altitude when setting home point to the aircraft's location. In other words, it DOES NOT climb to the RTH altitude above the altitude the P3 was at when current aircraft location was set, but only above the altitude it took off from. I've also noticed that if the P3 is less than 66 feet away from the home point, (measured horizontally--regardless of altitude) when RTH is initiated, it will land (straight down), instead of flying up to RTH altitude then flying over to the home point.
Meta4, how do you enable this feature? I can manually set Home Point to the tablet/phone location, but I don't know how to make it update automatically?
