I have a phantom 3 standard controller WITHOUT the circuit boards. I have had tons of issues with this particular controller so I removed the boards and have the main housing minus antennas and circuit boards for sale. This is primarily for someone looking for a side wheel or battery or one of...

I bought the hard case pictured above by Neon Euc and it is doing great. eBay is your best friend when looking for this kind of stuff.

What brand are the signal amplifier boxes? Where did you purchase them? And what is the power source shown in the pictures?

I have had plenty of fun flying and plenty of good luck since I recovered my drone safely. And you can call it “blowing off”, but the simple fact is I don’t want to share my flight recording because of the GPS data showing my home address. I don’t care what it is called or referred to. I...

Someone else said that. After the new firmware was installed, I have been using my little android phone to interface and it has been flying quite well. I reset the altitude and dust and limits so that it can’t get too far away from me. Flew it today and it being hazy and cloudy and very...

I called up DJI about the connectivity issue. The android device popped up a new firmware update while I was on the phone with them, so I did the update and apparently the update I did thru the iPhone had a corruption issue or something did not take, because now it is 1000% better and working...

Then they will have to go on for days.

It did activate auto RTH. And as I said, I am learning all this stuff and more.

But yes, I knew what all the drone would do if I lost connection. But the part you guys are missing, is that the app lost connection with the controller right AFTER the controller lost connection with the drone. So I could not tell it to do anything. When I got it to make connection once, I...

Despite my colorful commentary, the only time I actually panicked was when it went beyond the flood levy and seemed to keep going away while in RTH. I knew it was woods, river, and muddy farm land beyond that levy, which would have made finding it pretty well impossible..

Mapmaker53, I was under 400 feet and the airport is a municipal 98% unattended. The twin engine was way above my P3S, but from the ground, it looked a lot closer. You are probably right regarding antenna orientation. Solentlife, I am learning a lot of things about flying this drone. And now...

Thanks. This one will technically be my 4th one. The first one I got at WalMart and it was someone else's return... So I took it back and got the second one, which went swimming cause I was harassing the ducks while still a novice drone flyer... That one went back to Walmart, who exchanged...

It wasn't a fly-away. It was wind pushing it away.. It was trying to get back but the head wind that suddenly came up just beat it to death!! It was literally 3-4 minutes it went thru over 40% of the battery TRYING to make some progress... But as it got pushed further away, I knew there was...

Took my Phantom 3 Standard out for a flight this evening here in Arkansas. I got it up a good ways and out a good ways using line of sight. Before I sent it up I started the camera recording in video mode. I had it up for about 3 minutes and then the dreaded happened... My screen flashed...
