Yes, I first tried to watch the video on the SD card from a Reader, but then I transferred it to my computer hard drive - same video quality - This is my first P3S, and because it was refurbished, I want to make sure I it is working - the Video downlink did lose connection a couple times, but I...

Just like the Drones that were preventing fire-fighting aircraft, it is A-holes that are affecting our ability to fly. We need to self-regulate, and let the public know that we are responsible for our flying. I fly at a local park, but make sure I am clear of people, or animals. I don't fly...

I just started flying my P3S - and using the Camera. The camera is fixed straight ahead on the quad. As a previous post said, you pivot the camera Vertically about 20 degrees above the front plane to straight down, via a finger wheel on the controller. The gyro on the camera offsets any bumps...

I recently purchased a factory refurbed P3 Standard from Newegg - The unit looked completely new, and all the accompanied packaging was unopened. I have a Phantom P1, and know how to use the controls. I synced my phone with the unit, and had to do a firmware update, which was complete. I had...

What is a "NON-COMPLIANT" drone? I have a P1 that I have not updates...It does not support "GEO-FENCING" so I can still fly it next to an airport if I wanted. But my P3S would be stopped. I would think that would be a good idea. Please let us know what your main concern is. Are you...

I agree calling them "DRONES" is a bad idea, but that is how we are identified. I fly my P1 around, sometimes with No camera, just so I don't have to have people worry when I fly near them, or their KID and I am filming them. I do have a Go-pro mount, and can put a camera. If someone had a...

I llke everyone else is concerned when we see these stories. I live in suburban area in Orange County California. I have two DJI "DRONES" - a P1 and a new P3S. I was coming home and I saw a DJI Phantom about 250 feet over my neighborhood. It wasn't directly over my house, but nearby. Two...

I have a new P3S, and this is way cool!!! You did a nice job. I hope to be able to do that someday...Love watching the cars zip around...How high were you??

If its a P3 for $55.00, I would buy it for parts, if you include the battery....even if I have to get it repaired, it would be worth it. I bought a refurbished P3 from Newegg, Paid about $350 (with tax) - Will called it...So because it is refurbed, I feel confident it will fly...I was going to...

I ate mine whole, so I didn't have any problem choking. Not sure what part is a chocking hazard. the smallest part is the propeller,and now sure why I would have my toddler teething on the Prop. Then again, maybe they are afraid of being sued by a US company, But you are right. I have seen...

I just purchased a Phantom 3 2.7 at NEWEGG for $314 plus tax. DJI Phantom 3 Standard Quadcopter Aircraft with 3-Axis Gimbal and 2.7k Camera-Newegg.com I live close to their warehouse, so I will be picking one up today, but this is a good of price I have found. I have been scouring the ADS...

I thank you for your comments. This quad was from a fellow ham buddy, that I trust. yea, probably paid a little more, but I am coming from Hobby Quad's like the Syma 5C - This is amazing. He showed me his P3 and I was standing by while he flew his P4 - AMAZING - Video Quality is rock solid...

I have been in those areas, and the brush if Very thick. You think you can make it, but pretty soon the brush is so thick that you can't get any footing. I think either someone shot it or something struck it. Unless there was structural problems, it looked like it was rock steady before that...

Hello, I live in Orange County, California. I am a licensed HAM (KG6VQE) and a fellow ham is selling his Phantom 1. I have flown several smaller Hobby Drones (SYMA, HUBSAN), but want to start getting serious. Mostly for photography and having fun. Will be buying his P1 tomorrow. I know it...
