    anyone else get the calibrate ball

    No thanks. I, and I'm sure many others, would very much like a solution to this problem without creating another.

    It gives me about 10 seconds and that's it. No way to finish.

    Ipad mini 4. Get it all the time even if I'm my Phantom is off. Very irritating.

    Any information on the use of a drone for locating deer and there routes?

    It is unethical to spear fish at night using a 5 million gigawatt spot light. The Indians seem to be sleeping quite well at night. I've been hunting for too many years and I routinely "scout" anything that comes on my property using a variety of tools including my Advanced. Don't tell anybody...

    Broke the 1 mile barrier tonight.

    I've owned my P3A for eight months. Many flights from different parts of my state. One calibration before my first flight. That's it. I don't want to risk a bad calibration.

    Lost video feed at only 0.8 miles?

    My Advanced works like crap with my IPad mini 4 unless I have Airplane mode on.

    New Florida drone law

    I just stumbled upon a video on youtube about a guy with crazy harassing neighbors. He videotaped them several times from his home while they were in their front yard. It was kind of amusing so I did a search. There are hundreds more like this one. Can't these people get in trouble? And if not...

    Excited about getting into quads/drones with a Phantom. But I am concerned with DJI's bad rep....

    Thank God we live in a country (USA) where the only thing you are forced to purchase is health insurance.

    Looks like the OP took my sarcastic advice after all.

    Sorry bout that Ian and Arc. I guess I should have simply stated that I don't think DJI is a piss poor company, that they "do" stand behind their products and that I don't believe their customer service is a low priority. Just got a little defensive there.

    Good point Rich. I agree. I think if you go over all the pros and cons between purchasing a Phantom vs a Solo, the Phantom, especially the P3, is a much better choice. Arc, do everything you can possibly do to avoid a crash and you'll have the time of your life. Good luck to you.

    Arc buddy, why would you buy a product from a "piss poor company that doesn't stand by its products and makes customer service a very low priority." Your words. And, you can always choose to ignore me. 3DR and Yuneec are no closer to perfection than DJI is.

    Arc, I don't think you are ready. The P3 is an extremely complex device where many things can go wrong. Wait for that perfect drone built by that perfect company where everybody is happy and there are no complaints.

    Anyone in Wisconsin?

    Start a new thread. Ask for a pictures or short videos on how to reinstall the lock. I did a quick search and found nothing. Just my 2 cents worth. I think the gimbal lock is used mainly for "Shipping." You know, just for example, when you buy a new printer? All that packing material you have to...
