Phantom 3 standard from South Cackalacky!

Hello Pilots,

I am a noob with the drone, bought it yesterday and have great success flying in the beginner mode. I have always had a love for R/C products, and now I see why this has been so popular. I love going above the treetops and getting that Birdseye view. Editing and sharing the videos to me are as much fun as flying, and I haven't even cracked the surface with skills yet.

Welcome to Phantom Pilots!

Thank you for the warm welcome! One quick question tonight as I was flying with about 15% battery life I hit the land button and the drone shot straight up about 100' before going into landing mode. Gave me a slight heart attack until I figured out it was landing on its own with less then a min battery time, is that normal because I almost had it landed on my own. I use the auto take off, auto land since I am still a noob. Can I do this with the sticks on my own?

Are you sure you didn't click the return to home icon?

Can you do what with the sticks?

I might've know that you say that. Just figured it would return to me since walked with it. Noob
