    P3P photos blur in the middle – a bug or a feature?

    I had a problem with the left side about 15% of the frame of all my photos (and video) would be slightly out of focus compared to the rest of the crisply clear photo/video. Then months later I experienced a crash, the gimbal broke off (and case cracked etc) and I sent it in to DJI and they...

    Bummed. New P3A Crashed. Pls Advise

    Here is the video, part 1 of 6. You get the idea and can find the other 5. I replaced my shell following his and had no issues whatsoever. In fact, you gain learning and appreciation of the drone by doing this, and feel more in control should you ever have another crash. A lot better than...

    Bummed. New P3A Crashed. Pls Advise

    Just buy a new shell from Amazon. $59 bucks I think. It arrives next day. Took me 6 hours working slow late at night to replace mine but easy work and there is a video on YouTube clearly showing how to do it. The one with no sound. I was up and running better than before but less 59 bucks...

    This looks like CSC issue.

    Anti Drop Pins

    Yes you can remove them without breaking them. Watch this video at 0:40. It's kind of a pain though. Hint: a small flathead screwdriver to help pry greatly helps.

    New shell dilemma

    I replaced my shell - it started showing signs of cracks after just about 5 flights. I ordered a new shell from Amazon (came from Rotorlogic) and was $59. I then followed the six part video starting here: Worked on it (following video) from 11pm to 4am and it is like new now. I worked...

    Crashed my drone today on a lake

    Yea that sucks. Pay a diver to retrieve the drone. Then send it in you'll likely get a new one.

    Crashed my drone today on a lake

    The exact same thing happened to me. You can find my older post on here. It had weird movement and then took a 45 mph dive. I believe what happened was there was a compass error right around when I lost the signal. So when I hit the "return to home" button, it took the 45 MPH dive. Always in...

    Phantom 3 Pro catastrophic failure

    Thanks. I believe this was most likely a faulty IMU. I calibrated it but would often get "IMU error" upon startup. And it would take a long time to start up. It wasn't like that when I first got it almost 2 months ago. And calibrations didn't really seem to help. And I calibrated it away...

    Phantom 3 Pro catastrophic failure

    OK here is a clue. When I pressed the "Return to Home" button on my P3pro remote, I got a "COMPASS_ERROR_LARGE" as shown in my .txt log file under "OSD.goHomeStatus" (I converted it to .csv to be able to read it). Thoughts?

    Phantom 3 Pro catastrophic failure

    I lost 23 seconds. Its as if something went haywire which caused the crash, and that moment that it went haywire was the same exact moment the video stopped recording on the HD drive.

    Phantom 3 Pro catastrophic failure

    The gimbal also has only 1 or the 2 anti-drop pins intact after the crash. No sign of the gimbal or lens at the crash site. I'm wondering if one of the anti-drop pins failed on the gimbal and that somehow lead to the crash. Very strange.

    Where to buy replacement P3pro (no remote)?

    LOL, great thanks. I was expecting the gimbal + aircraft body to be something like $700 total ($1200 minus the remote control cost). I guess they just expect me to purchase another brand new one. No thanks I'll look for an alternative or wait for the next version to come out.
