    DJI Phantom 3 Firmware Update?

    As I was ready to fly my P3 drone, in the green "Ready to Fly" bar on top, it said that it needed to have the "Firmware Updated" in Red. It happened only once, during my flight of 3 battery (approx, 1 hour). Is that a glitch? I update the firmware just over a week ago. Also, the camera...

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    One post asked why, regardless of condition of a returned repair drone, that DJI almost always sends back a ”Good As New", “Replacement” drone. My drone was returned with 6 hours flight time on it. It flipped on take off because 2 motors were getting less power and it flipped the unit on its...

    Dji repair sent back wrong drone?

    Here's the deal, Brian. Regardless of the age or flight hours on your drone, they will always send you back a USED, PREVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE Replacement BUT, "Good As New" drone and it is "piggybacked" on the original drone SO, if your drone went bad and it was at the end of its 6 month warranty...

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    Zero wind... as calm as it gets. DJI didn't care what was wrong with it. It was fixable BUT, it also was a nice, new clean unit with 6 hours flight on it. Perfect to tweak and populate it back into the inventory. So they could send me an older one that somebody had issues with... like crashing...

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    As a follow-up to my DJI drone flipped on it's back, on take-off... for no reason. They told me it was software, then motherboard... then gimbel... then, told me that I may notice that the serial number was different... I asked why the serial number on my unit would be different at which point...

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    It's new... I had only flown it for about a month... maybe 10-15 times already. Each time was flawless. Perfect flights. Was lovin' it. I had a check list I followed each time I flew. I would always check off everything: right down to the rotors by the color dots so, not much else to say.

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    I landed it to replace the first battery... it was running perfectly. I only turned off the drone to replace it. Then, I restarted with the second battery and pushed auto take off. It got about 10 feet or so, in the air, and I realized that the camera couldn't record (it had a greyscale photo of...

    My Phantom 4 Flipped on Take-Off...

    Anyone having problems with their Phantom 4 drone flipping over on take-off? Mine did. I firstly have to say, in order to dispel the notion that the rotors were installed incorrectly, that minutes earlier, the drone flew flawlessly for 20+ minutes, on the first battery. It's not until I inserted...
