    VPS and Animals

    I've read a few posts about birds not liking the frequencies emitted by the sensors... my own experience has proven to be anything but 100% definitive either way. Most of my experience had been problem free with nothing even close to abnormal behavior... I did once however have a seagull seem...

    IPhone shut down mid flight!

    Had that happen to me once too... only difference was that I was about 200' off the pacific coast, and about 200' up in super heavy fog... I couldn't see it or hear it and that's the moment that I did not realize that you had to long press return to home for it to activate haha... you could say...

    near miss with a bird

    Turn off your VPS, I hear it pisses them off... if you're not flying low to the ground, just turn it off. Sent from my SM-G900V using PhantomPilots mobile app

    P3p cracked body @ motor mount

    I contacted DJI customer service a couple of days ago, and have submitted all of their requested info... they said they would be sending me an RMA# and return info shortly (today at 2 pm) but here I am typing this post as I still wait. Hopefully I'll see something actually happen tomorrow, I...

    Litchi WP test run in my neighborhood

    No doubt. While this was just a very simple example of what the app is capable of, it still involved some very complex maneuvering that even a highly skilled pilot would have found quite daunting to accurately replicate (realize that this video was actually slowed down to 0.5 speed of the actual...

    Litchi WP test run in my neighborhood

    Here's a little Litchi WP test run I did the other day in my neighborhood... I used the youtube editor to add some music, and slow down the speed. Shot it with an N4 filter @ 1080p 60fps. Litchi did exactly what I asked it to do... great app. Check out the video here... Sent from my...

    So I finally crashed :\

    I actually was very lucky, and ended up having no damage at all. I updated the firmware, recalibrated the compass, etc. and have since made numerous flights without even a hint of an issue... more importantly I now have a much better undestanding of the battery settings, and how the critical...

    P3p cracked body @ motor mount

    I thought the same thing but I'm noticing that the shell seems slightly loose on this side between the motor and the battery compartment... makes me wonder what else may be loose inside? And I was worried that I'd void the warranty if I did a repair myself. Sent from my SM-G900V using...

    So I finally crashed :\

    Thanks for everyone's responses, and of course good humor as well haha... I have to admit that after my salad tossing incident, I felt the need to take a few days off from even evaluating what happened or looking the bird over, etc. Last night I charged my 2 batteries, got most of the dried...

    So I finally crashed :\

    So after umpteen hours of flight time, and many miles logged over the past few months of ownership, I finally had my first crash with my p3p the other day. ... I have not touched it since I walked up to it, and turned off the battery. I have however recharged both of my batteries as a drain was...
