Since I just lost my Phantom 3 Professional, I am back in the market. DJI is having a 10 year anniversary sale which includes a Phantom 3 4K. Is this the same as the Phantom 3 Pro I bought just a few months ago or have there been changes? Thanks for any info.

I have not edited any of my posts in any way. Perhaps your comprehension was not properly calibrated. :)

The problem with the suggestions to not recalibrate the compass is, when the app gives a compass error your choices are to recalibrate or not fly because it won't allow the motors to start until a successful recalibration is complete. Unfortunately this happened so often for me I considered it...

I am glad for the helpful info from the members of this group so, risking the expected spanking from Snerd for daring to show up in his hobby prior to achieving guru status, I'm going to continue to drill down on this. If a faulty compass calibration is the accepted explanation I would assume...

I'm sure I'm betraying a bit of ignorance with this question but here goes. Why is compass calibration relevant when flying in GPS mode? I haven't looked at the compass in my boat since the day I got GPS. Wouldn't it just follow the shortest path to the logged GPS point (after ascending to RTH...

My forensic investigation yielded some new questions. 1 I checked my iPad and iPhone and both have RTH altitude and Max altitude set to 0! I believe this is because they are not connected to the craft but would like confirmation that they didn't arbitrarily reset. 2. The app is set to save...

JKDSensei, thank you for asserting that I don't know what I'm doing, same goes for the moderator. No, I did not get it for Christmas and fly it right out of the box. I "brushed up" my knowledge quite a bit as I have been flying this thing for months quite successfully. Prior to ever flying it I...

I've lost signal in the past and it always returned. Same thing this time only it didn't come back. I calibrated the compass and had a green "safe to fly GPS mode" prior to takeoff. Rhoffart, It is my understanding that RTH is for when the controller loses communication with the craft.

For the guy who was asking about RTH, apparently it cannot be relied upon.

It is so easy to fly you'll want to be careful not to become over confident. I've had mine for a month and launched it on Thanksgiving day to show some friends. Immediately after launch The app reported a compass error and loss of GPS, the wind got ahold and blew it into a tree and it crashed to...

I've had it land 12 feet away from the takeoff point so it's a good idea to take over manually if you're on a boat dock like I am sometimes.
