I believe you are right, but looking at these instruction, can you see my confusion? Thanks for your input, I'll start with the SD card update.

All, I'm in the process of upgrading the firmware on the controller, the camera and the aircraft as per direction to do so on the DJI app. I've got the controller done and now need to get into the aircraft and the camera. The instructions from DJI are a bit confusing. I get the impression (from...

All, I'm new to the Phantom 3 so please excuse my basic questions. I recently purchased a P3 advanced and am just now getting around to trying to get it set up and running. I have an iphone 6s and just downloaded the DJI GO app. First question: with the device holder on the remote, am I only...

Yeah I was kind of hoping this was a known problem, but no such luck. I'll plan on sending it in for a repair once the summer season is over and can report back if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Recently I attempted to insert my micro SD card into my P2V+ and it wouldn't engage. Generally you insert the card, get an audible 'click' and the there stays the card. Now a get the 'click', but the card won't engage and stay in the slot. The spring tension is still there, but of course it...

That sounds like fun; is there a diagram somewhere that will get me started on exposing the motor? I usually just start pulling screws, but this might be a little more delicate? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time!

I made an unfortunate dive into a boulder field today. I'm not sure if it was a down draft or what, but regardless the Phantom went down hard into the rocks. Miraculously the gimbal and camera seem to have come out unscathed even when all rotors were shredded and two rotor guards were broken as...

All good ideas and it gives me something to look for. As a real beginner the subtleties are still a little foreign to me. I will go through today and make sure all software/firmware is up to date and that the controller is calibrated. If it continues to happen I'll see what other observations I...

We are just using it out of the box; should it have the latest software installed if we just received it last week?

This is likely a similar question as was posed a few days ago, but here goes. We recently purchased a Phantom 2 Vision + and have just taken our first flights. Because we are total newbies we do have the prop guards and strings attached. We went out flying today and had several instances where...
