    P3P Randomly Switching out of GPS Mode

    Ok, good to know about the hand blocking the signal, makes sense. I still think it's behaving strangely though. I have a good baseline to compare it to after just flying a different P3P unit and my old P2. Maybe it's just a loose wire since it seems to be able to have perfect signal most of the...

    P3P Randomly Switching out of GPS Mode

    I was doing the calibration just as a trouble shooting method. Seems to help, not sure why. It did say ATTI Mode after it started drifting so it definitely lost the signal. My hands were completely off the sticks and I thought I was still pressing the throttle it was moving so far. I got freaked...

    P3P Randomly Switching out of GPS Mode

    I recently upgraded to the P3P. I've already had to return one due to a gimbal issue and now this one seems to be having a GPS issue. When I calibrate the compass sometimes it'll fail and other times it appears to be a success until I start moving the aircraft and it will repeatedly toggle in...

    Jello Effect in P3P

    Well I'm sure you don't want to hear this but you are 100% wrong. My new aircraft takes amazing video, no problems at all. I have made zero mods and film in default settings. It was an improperly assembled gimbal that was causing excessive vibrations. Excessive vibrations causes jello...

    Jello Effect in P3P

    Hah, nice pun. my refund has been processed yay! Appreciate the help, I would have been screwed if I bought a bunch of expensive ND filters and was still stuck with a defective product that I missed the return deadline on. Going to buy a new one this time. The P3P prices have plummeted on amazon...

    Jello Effect in P3P

    UPDATE: Your input ended up being the most accurate. I made a similar post on the dji phantom sub reddit and someone suggested I check the clear pins that go through the white rubbery vibration isolators on the gimbal mount. There's only supposed to be 2 clear pins and mine has 4. Also 2 of the...

    Jello Effect in P3P

    UPDATE: Gave it another go today and reviewed the video clips and they were all garbage! Jello effect throughout every clip.I included a video link below. Here's what I learned: The biggest discovery is that the jello only occurs when the motors are on. I took some clips of a bright pond...

    Jello Effect in P3P

    I just calibrated the gimbal. Hoping that helps with that. Going to give it another go tomorrow and see what happens

    Jello Effect in P3P

    Appreciate the detailed response. I guess I was really trying to get a baseline on whether the severity of these issues seen in my video were fixable or if I needed to send it back. Sounds like the nd filter is really the way to go.

    Jello Effect in P3P

    Hi everyone, I just made a huge upgrade from my P2Vision that i've had forever to the P3P. I took it out for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed to see a jello effect while reviewing the video clips. It's subtle at times and not so much others but pretty consistent throughout all...

    how often should I change transmitter battery? Newb question

    Hi everyone. I know this is a super basic question but i don't see much info out there about it. How often do I need to change the aa transmitters batteries. I got my vision last week and have 5 full flights on it. I don't want to waste batteries but certainly don't want to put my phantom at...
