Decided to just sell the P3P I've been trying to fix for the past few months. I honestly have too much debt and my credit score (according to Credit Karma) gets depressing every time I check on it. So pretty much I can't afford to repair it anymore. I really wanted to love the P3P with all the awesome features compared to my P2.
TL;DR: Everything works (as far as I know) and flies, but the live video feed never shows (I can still download videos/photos from the P3P though).
Detailed: What I've done so far (copy and paste from a previous post):
What you will get (everything not mentioned is not included):
- P3P Body [Opened twice, some scratches from me trying to pry it open]
- P3P Gimbal/Camera [Repaired with Bock Hobby 3D printed parts]
- P3P Charger
- P3 Battery [about 4 cycles in]
- P3 Remote
- P3 Propellers [used twice]
- P3P Box
Disclosures:
- Serious buyers and reasonable offers only.
- Set is sold in whole, no part-outs.
- No returns, test flights, sold as-is and without warranties.
- I will document that the P3P works as described.
- I will pay for half of the shipping costs [includes tracking and signature].
- I will only accept PayPal (I hate counting cash and having to verify legitimacy).
- Shipping to 48 States only.
- Local pickups are accepted under my discretion and I reserve the right to refuse local pick-ups.
- I'm 100% trustable, friendly, and if you're interested in this sale I'll totally work with you. I also have a 100% track record on eBay and have really good shipping supplies.
If you have any questions/concerns and/or would like to make an offer.. send me a PM and I will get to you as soon as I can!
Note: Pictures coming soon.. I just wrote this, lol. Thanks!

Detailed: What I've done so far (copy and paste from a previous post):
Code:
- Replaced flexible ribbon cable for gimbal [Part 49].
- Replaced every cable provided by Part 42.
- Inspected every connection/component for any damages/disconnections.
- Upgraded/downgraded to every firmware (currently 1.3.20), failing each time (two devices are "not found").
- It makes that really long beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep after a few cycles of dd-d-d or d-d-d-d.
- Re-binded controller/craft each time.
- Upgraded controller to latest firmware.
- Using a really fast microSD card (PNY 32GB Class10).
- Played with auto/manual frequencies and enabled/disable hardware decode.
- Set phone on "Airplane Mode", closed all the apps, plenty of space, reset springboard.
- Reconnected the iPhone cable to see if it comes on.
- Tested in a "large open space with little to no Wi-FI".
Things observed:
- It flies.
- "No Signal" in red across the top.
- No live feed (main problem).
- Histogram shows changes consistent with lighting.
- Can take photo/video, saves to card, and download to phone but it cannot be viewed from DJI GO app itself. Tested on varying distances.
- Gimbal calibrates/moves successfully.
- IMU calibrates successfully.
- Compass calibrates successfully.
Hardware Info:
- Phantom 3 Professional (Craft and remote was sold separately) sold as-is from a private auction site, it appeared that it suffered from a mild crash, only notable damage was the gimbal arm slightly bent. I'm not sure if there already was a video signal before I started the gimbal repair since the remote control came in after I did the repairs.
- iPhone 6+ (running iOS 9 Beta 5), also tested on an iPad Mini 2 running iOS 8.
- Cambond cable (some short apple cable that is MFI certified).What you will get (everything not mentioned is not included):
