Well, i appreciate the input and help from everyone. Personally id like for her to try and find a repair center somewhere near her. I dont want to mess with it, especially given if i do it will be a time sensitive job and well, my times too important to me.

So, my wifes aunt purchased a phantom 3 standard based on my recommendation for a first drone. She got it Monday, crashed it today. She lives 300 miles away, so I'm not sure i can help. However, i told her i would get the opinion of the community on whats needed and see if i can repair it...

Every single time i turn on my Phantom and get into the go app, the Radio Channel Quality says Poor. Every time. BUT, within about 10 seconds it changes back to Good (its not in front of me so i cant remember if thats how its labeled) and i go out and fly without a hiccup. I think you should...

I think its simply stating that 1) you shouldnt need that extender if you arent going 2 miles and 2) if you are new to the drone, you should keep it within visual contact at all times. Thats how i interpret the warning at least.

Amazon.com: iKNOWTECH 2016 New Premium Remote Control Mobile Device Holder Phone Extended Bracket Mount CNC Aluminum Alloy for DJI Phantom 3 Series Quadcopter: Toys & Games Thats a direct link to the one i ordered.

Wow, i can understand how that would be frustrating after waiting so long. Ive received both of mine within 2 days of ordering from amazon. Im too impatient to be willing to wait that long for anything.

So I put this one together for a buddy of mine today as I said. Everything went smoothly. I install the mount to the controller before assembling the rest of it. Also, with the bad in place you should be able to roll the controller to its side and drop that small shouldered piece in place...

I'm wondering if it may not have been machined properly. The shouldered part should sit smoothly in the hole on the controller for the lanyard. If you take everything off, will that piece line up and fit? I actually ordered one for a friend of mine that I'll be putting on tomorrow. I'll take...

Well, i cant get the image to work... Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet I hope its acceptible to link it like that!

It looks like your mount is the same as mine. I would venture to guess its the same. If so, i believe the reason it stripped is because you dont have that center piece seated properly. Its shouldered, and should be completely recessed in the hole. If its not, chances are you pulled the...

Yeah, if you bring them both down and inward and hold them there simultaneously, it should initialize.

Should just be able to bring both sticks down and inward to get the drone to fire up. Thats all the way down and in for a couple of seconds.

Silly question, but when you initiate the link between the controller and the drone, are you using the app or the switch on the controller? When i first purchased my drone, for some reason the AC and TX weren't synced. I tried 4 time using the switch method and it would sit there and beep at...

So, I had my wife do some checking into the drone coverage and what she found is pretty nice. At least through State Farm I guess. Our renters policy technically covers drones as it does any other item in the house from theft, fire or anything of the sort. We have a 500 deductible so why file a...

I bought mine from ebay for 349, mainly for two reasons. DJi was showing 20-25 days after payment before shipping, but the big reason was a 30 day return policy over what i believe is a 7 day policy. To me that was huge because, at least where im at, it may have been more than a week or two...
