    Compass error

    Recalibrate slowly, accurately, and away from anything remotely metal.

    Soon to be new owner phantom 3 advanced

    I used to calibrate my drone every flight...then one time my drone just flew away for no reason and my heart was pounding as I fought to get it back...I eventually did. Now I just calibrate if I'm in a new area and when I do I take it very slow. So don't get cocky with calibration.

    Kite Night at the Beach with my P3A

    Beautiful shots! From an editing standpoint try some "fluid" shots so you don't jerk the drone too much. Drones are so sensitive to the controls that when you do turn it really jerks the camera around. Also I love editing to music so for your cuts...cut it to the beat. That way the music...

    Is this a crack or normal?

    Is this a crack or normal?

    I have no idea since its uniform on both sides. It's on the bottom part by the battery. I have a p3a. Thank you!

    Stress crack!!! 7 months old / 98 flights

    Well call them up and do it. I don't know why everyone doesn't like the warranty. Time? If I had a choice for my car to be fixed for free at the dealership VS doing it my self I'd send it to the dealership! Plus you get a new shell! My crack is different but with my crack I used strong arms...

    Current shell repair time from DJI?

    I have about three weeks between when I absolutely need my drone back. Or I continue to fly it with my strong arms. What's the current repair time you've experienced or should I just keep flying until I have a longer time?

    Quebec woman hit with a falling P3

    This is my fear. I'm not sure how this works for hobbiest but if we were to get a lawsuit on our hands is it pretty much out of pocket?

    Fell from the sky -Oh No!

    Was it a full battery? Did you calibrate the compass away from your trucks?

    How reliable is the return home function if signal is lost?

    If you end up buying a P3 in the app itself it will always show where the home point is by a line. This line helps give you visual of where your drone is from you and helps you determine your home point.
