    P3 Firmware Why the range difference between two difference P3S drones

    I sometime get the two Standards mixed up because I really don't pay much attention to either one any more. I fly the P3pro and the Mini 2 most of the time. The two firmwares might be the same. I'm not sure. I just know that the one with the + at the end flew much farther. I did try...

    P3 Firmware Why the range difference between two difference P3S drones

    Thanks. But the drone with the + in the firmware is the one that can go out much farther that the other. Also, I did downgrade the firmware to something lower in the one that can only go out about 1,100 feet . I don't remember now which one. I think it was 1.7.XXX something. The range...

    P3 Firmware Why the range difference between two difference P3S drones

    1# I have two Phantom 3 Standards. One will go out to a distances of over 3,000 feet. The other will lose signal and return home at 1,100 feet. The only difference I can find with them is the firmware. The 3,000 foot drone has firmware 1.09.0200, and the 1,500 foot drone has 1.9.20+. I...

    Phantom 3 Standard turned itself off and fell about 35 feet.

    I have several batteries that have bad cells. I ordered a new batter from an online web site. It was a cheap aftermarket one but it works just fine in my Phantom 3 Pro. It was only $56.00. When I got the battery I installed it in the Pro and flew it for two fullly discharges without any...

    Have you had any more problems with that battery and drone?

    Phantom 3 Standard parts

    I want to make sure you know what condition this is in. It has never been crashed. As far as I know there is nothing wrong with it other than what I have removed. After I bought my P3 Pro and then my DJI Mini 2, I never flew this again. I removed the two small flat antennas inside to send to...

    Phantom 3 Standard parts

    I would accept $150.00 for it. But I would have to add the amount of shipping... whatever that is. I'll provide some photos later today.

    Phantom 3 Standard parts

    I have a Phantom 3 Standard that I'm going to part out. It was in perfect flying condition when I boxed it up for storing. I have since moved up to a Phantom 3 Pro and a DJI Mini 2. My son crashed his 3 Standard into a tree and damaged the two little flat antennas inside of the body. The...

    Need phantom 3 pro camera

    Do you think you can make me a good deal for a total replacement? You can contact me in the "Conversation" section if you want.

    Need phantom 3 pro camera

    Here is the board. It does look like it is damaged. Probably not repairable!

    Need phantom 3 pro camera

    Sure... later. I hurt my foot a few days ago (Plantar fasciitis) and have to stay off my feet the rest of the day. I was walking on it too much today and it hurts. I'll get the cover off tomorrow.
