I am still really new to flying my P3A, but I understand how you feel! My quad is a used bird, so it could have been crashed, but I have seen 3 occasions (out of 8 flights) where the DJI app showed weak signal or magnetic interference after < 100m up and maybe 50m away from the controller...

I'm assuming that you normally fly pretty high and far? I used to get a lot of gawking and requests to "fly" my P1 when I first got it, but I was usually taping things pretty low to the ground and I stayed <20m at all times. I am assuming that the orange vest has limited value if they can...

I am being lazy, but do you think it is an internal issue or something that can be fixed as I am seeing similar behaviors with my P3A. I picked up a used P3A and after 30-40M my remote starts reporting heavy interference (or whatever the error is) and I pull back down. My P1 can fly in the...

I had not considered the "loss" factor, but that makes a lot of sense - thank you!

I have a 128GB Sandisk Extreme in my P3A, so I don't see why the Mavic would really be restricted to 64GB?

So, I am clearly guilty of this myself, but are we not causing more issues by ordering from multiple places? Now, DJI thinks they have 1.25-2x (totally unscientific and unfounded guess) as many orders to fulfill and build for the release date? Basically, they may have sold 150,000 units...

I only want one; however, I figured / hope at some point we will figure out where we are in line and the slower one will be cancelled.

Add me to the list. B&H - 10/2 ExpertDrones - 10/2 ExpertDrones claims they are drop shipping from DJI and ALL preorders go out at the same time. I think the tech was misinformed, but he also said they are expecting them in store around Nov 4th. He said CA would likely receive them before...

I spoke with Expert Drones today and the tech claimed that all pre-orders (pre 10/24) are getting drop shipped from DJI/China. This seems to contradict the information on this forum, and I suggested that I think he may be mistaken, but I wanted to post what I was told.

That is an interesting idea and might be feasible with the weight and size. Were you planning on attaching some plastic (thick Plexi?) to the camera nut? Put on some bathtub type anti-slide strips and you could be set..

I personally had no luck with CF blades. Probably user error, but on both flight attempts I lost 2 blades (4 total). Then I threw out the other 2 that were left over. I have some friends that tried CF's on their P2's and they said they had similar experiences. I just finished flying my P1...

Thank you for the response! This is a B model, and yeah those things are very expensive on ebay! I did see a few that were around $80, but those are likely catch of the draw. I picked up the quad for about $380, but I also pre-ordered the Mavic and I have a P1 (no gimbal), so I have...

Hi Everyone, I picked up a used P3A and the controller makes noise when it moves around. Also, the home button seems to have detached and slides around. I have not flown the quad, but I wanted to see if the controller should still be usable without the Home button? My P1 did not have such a...
