    Removing stock UV filter.

    I used the tool that came from DJI to hold the motor (new motors) so you can get the prop off. I raped the plastic tool around the UV lens on camera. The old motors come with a different metal tool that will not work.

    She almost blew away.

    On old firmware there was a fly away bug. On 1.6 it will stay steady in 15mph wind. If you go up the wind is higher and you'll have to manually fly to recover. Drone can go 37mph manually. The fly-away bug is mostly fixed. What version are you on?

    Prop flew off at 250 ft and 1 minute in.

    Looking at the photos of props that came off during flight. You will see that the props were not screwed on right. The prop was only being held by one thread and therefore broke off in flight. The lessons here are; 1) inspect props before putting on 2) Make sure the props thread all the way on...

    New Phantom firmware 1.6

    I tested my 3P3 after upgrade at 63deg. Went to 1500ft and thought it might not get back down before the battery died. The left controller stick all the way down and much slower.

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.6.0040

    Test flight went well on new update. My drift problem is gone in 16mph wind. Great so far.

    Latest updates

    I still have drifting on new update. I don't get drifting under 200ft up.

    1080 @60 or 1080 @30

    Use 60fps. The video looks much more real and fluid. Also if you use slow motion 50% then the video still looks smooth without any strobing effect(with Adobe premiere Cc)

    Warming up time before no jerk video?

    I've done a imu calibration. What is a cold imu calibration? Only had the drone for one month.

    Warming up time before no jerk video?

    I have to wait about 1 to 2 min before I get jerk free video from P3P after just turning on craft. Is this normal? Video is great after that. Is this a problem?

    Firmware 1.5, drifting issue, no signal issue

    I have updated and in test I find in 15mph and less no drifting. 17mph and up it will drift. It looks like it can pitch so much to correct. You can manually pitch a lot more to fix position. You shouldn't be flying over 17mph anyway.

    new controller firmware

    I installed all updates and went for testing in 17mph winds in Oklahoma. When big wind gusts come it starts to drift. Under 15mph and it does fine. You shouldn't have the bird over that anyway. You can manually bring the bird back to position. Test flight was perfect for everything else.

    Flying away P3P

    Is this a known issue? It was in P mode the whole time.

    Flying away P3P

    It has happened two times now. First time I was in P mode and just went up to 400ft and then hover in the place. I was looking at P3P and it starts moving down wind I waited to see if it would come back and it never did. So I manually moved it back to position and also down. At 100feet it worked...
