    New Phantom 4 battery... Is this a bad battery?

    I am not certain because I have a P3 and not a P4 and I might be wrong, but this looks pretty normal to me. Try leaving it plugged in for a while and see what happens (but make sure it is in your supervision). If it doesn't show any charging difference in an hour stop charging it and post here.

    OPENED UP PHANTOM 3, CRUSHED CIRCUIT COMPONENT !

    Yes, a new motherboard would be quite expensive (around $200 from what I've seen so far for the Pro), and I would also be quite worried. DJI might be able to offer you a specialized part for purchase, but odds are that you would have to buy a new main board. I would take it in to an electronics...

    OPENED UP PHANTOM 3, CRUSHED CIRCUIT COMPONENT !

    Can you give us some info on how you obtained it? (3rd party shop, used, direct from DJI, etc.) Have you flown it before? Give as much info as possible.

    P3 Standard firmware update gone awry.

    Ah... the exact same thing happened to me when I first got my Phantom 3. Try using a different phone if you have access to one (android if you are using iOS and vice versa). This is what finally worked with me.

    A great fly day

    That would be so fun if I had some pilots in my area... unfortunately, I live in rural Idaho... :(

    First Week With My P3S (Photos)

    Nice! Yes, welcome to the drone community. I am fairly new too, although I am starting to get the hang of it (plus a couple of years of RC planes experience).

    Lens filters

    Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for the correction ;)

    Feel stupid asking but where has compass calibration gone?

    Don't worry, you aren't the only one struggling... took me literally 20 minutes yesterday to find where to calibrate it... :tired::laughing:

    Lens filters

    A polarized filter will help you to get rid of those pesky reflections off of the water, which should help a great bit if you want to see beneath the water.

    Bad bad bad day (recovered bird)

    If you are planning on buying a new drone anyways with your money, you can give it to me if you want! ;)

    Bad bad bad day (recovered bird)

    I am working based off of a lot assumption, but was your drone registered? If it was I'm assuming you had your license number on it. Was that number located in a concealed area on the drone? It is possible that he didn't see the marking and/or couldn't get it it off. I would recommend you...

    180 Degree Panoramas?

    Sorry, just to clarify, I mean to say 180 by 360 Panos, sorry for that not being very clear.

    Phantom 4 First flight

    That is awesome! Glad to see that they made the distortion almost unnoticeable now! Do you like it so far?

    180 Degree Panoramas?

    Hey, I was wondering if any of you guys have ever tried making 180 Degree (hemi-sphere) panoramas with you drone. I would assume that since the phantom has good photo quality, stability and very controllable camera angle and drone rotation, it would be perfect for such. I'm looking into it right...

    Need help binding my Phantom 3 and my remote

    Sorry man, no Idea. I'd call DJI support at this point... if you can get any help. I'm afraid I can't help much more here (I could probably figure it out if I was there in person). If you have a local hobby shop, also ask them for help.
