Tried using the pliers but it was just too badly mangled - Ended up taking it apart and removing the yaw arm its a twisted mess. Ordered a new one on ebay so will just have to wait for it arrive.

Hey all so just had a minor crash with my Phantom 3 standard - was a totally my fault as I had incorrect altitude settings set in Litchi and I didn't take into account a hilly area whoops! Anyway mostly everything is OK - tested everything still flys great, however the gimbal arm is slightly...

DJI go 3.0.1 released....anyone game enough to try it? They mention in release notes that it fixes occasional phantom 3 standard freezing... I won't be touching it :) Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I'm in Oz, just got mine a few weeks ago so I'm a new flyer. Research is your friend - have you tried the FCC mod? What version of the go app and firmware are you using? I can get 700m distance and over 100m high using 1.5.7 DJI Go app 2.9.2 and the FCC mod supplied by Papatita (see his...

Well lads, I just got home from a 700 meter flight and can say I'm a happy camper! This was in a semi built up area as well. I've only had it for a few weeks but as I posted above have had nothing but issues with the latest DJI go app and firmware. So the config I'm flying with is 1.5.7...

Up until today I was struggling to get more than 150 meters or so. Just got back home and managed to get 700 meters! What changed? I downgraded to 1.5.7, use the FCC mod (I'm in a CE country) and use DJI GO version 2.9.2. Everything else is stock. Finally got a config that works won't ever be...

Not a bad thing just update your other apps manually once every few weeks. I've had instances where new version of other apps are worse than previous so same adage applies - if it ain't broke don't fix it Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

1.6.8? It's clearly not working for some of us so that leads me to the theory the the actual hardware inside might be different with some batches. Perhaps they used some different chips on the assembly line and the software is not working as it should. Anyway I'm sticking with what works. Don't...

Ahh sorry mate yes knew it was you! Great work I'll let you know the range I get Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Seriously why even bother replying to that guy, obviously hasn't read the thread. Anyway thanks to the previous poster who mentioned the app downgrade! Works like a charm, now all I have to do is wait for the weather to clear so I can fly! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Thanks for sharing! I'll try it tonight and let you guys know how it goes... Can you tell me are you using the FCC mod as well? Are you in CE country? What sort of range are you getting? (assuming your using a P3S)

Haven't tried yet and to be honest a bit apprehensive. Not even sure it will make a difference as 1.6.8 works to specifically limit the CE range. As I mentioned CE mode is based on GPS location so maybe DJI overrides any mods in that version Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

So guys based on some research I did last night - it would appear that with the latest firmware release, DJI has done changes to reduce the range of the CE birds to comply with regulations. According to an email from DJI to a customer, official range has now come in to 300 meters. Whether this...

Did not try that thanks for the heads up! I did know about it but kinda panicked and forgot all the controls. Just comes with lack of experience I guess. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Yep saw that last night. Only has fpv mode and did in fact return to home twice before that incident so definelty some kinda bug. I think the only thing I haven't tried yet is 1.6.8 with Fcc mod might give it a shot after work today. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots
