    phantom has been sitting for nearly 2 years....before flying again questions

    I've done both. Update on one and not the other. I would chose not to update were I to do it again. Make sure you use the early GO app! Current ones force updates.

    Some guidance needed, should I get the DJI FPV Goggles?

    I wear glasses. After a few different fpv goggles, I settled on fat shark. Versatile and there are at least two suppliers of corrective lens inserts..$80 a pair. If that's an issue.

    Should I update my Phantom 3 Pro?

    Same issue with mine. One is updated the other is not. I wish I'd have kept both original. I've had absolutely no problem with the university upgraded drone...many with the other. Like many, If it ain't broke, don't feel it.

    P3P Cracks

    Be very careful with the screws if you put them on. I used uv epoxy inside instead (the reinforces plates caused some problems)to reinforce the whole motor mount area. Worked great for all three p3ps ...on with really severe cracks is still flying 3 years later.

    P3 Adv & HDMI output module?

    I thought the sequence was important, but I haven't had any problems no matter when I did what. Plugged in, unplugged, controller or drone first...doesn't seem to matter. But, that's with a P3P. Enjoy, I don't think I would fly a drone without one!

    I believe that commercial requires being paid for the service

    To upgrade or not to upgrade Pro

    I agree with most. Keep it the way,it is. I wouldn't bet the farm, but I think the upgrades are a lot about sentencing. I have 3 p3p .. one original fw, one upgraded and works, and on upgraded and dead. Also, don't think that downgrading the fw will revert...you have an app, controller, and...

    P3 Firmware Old Ph3 pro with AC and RC 1.3.2.0 should I upgrade?

    I did both, the upgrade demanded firmware up grades which tanked the drone on one and worked on the other (I have 3). I am now a firm believer in ..if it works, don't fix it. Find the old go app.

    Eyeglass wearers - long/short sighted issue

    It's why I chose fat shark. You can get prescription inserts. Much better when you can see the hud.

    P3 Firmware App or Firmware issues?

    As before, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Is my drone mantra for the p3 series. As long as dji doesn't lock you out, you're ok.

    P3 Firmware Root of SD card

    I'd like to add a point. The saying,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Is something to consider. I've done both ways. Updated one (I have three) OK, one had every update problem out there , never flew again and became parts. The third I never touched and is still flying fine after two...

    Reregistering a Second Hand P3

    I'm running several p3p drones and would like to offer a suggestion. Consider NOT updating anything unless it won't fly without doing it. The old saw of "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" Would have a

    Into the ocean...again!

    I fly over the Pacific mostly, so you have my sympathy. One of my p3ps is like yours. I plan to make some money on it by going to the coastal rifle range and charging twenty a shot to shoot me out of the sky (rifle only)...they'll get a bang out of it and I'll score $$$$
