    run away

    Out of sheer ignorance at the time, I once took off from a manhole cover and experienced a flight just like yours. From what did you take off?

    wanted- old phantom 2 batteries

    I have two that I won't be using anymore. Both of them still charge and work just fine.

    P3 Firmware Camera update

    Just forget it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    P3Pro Will Not Update Using SD Card

    I would ask you why you want to update in the first place? Most P3P pilots say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," because updating merely causes much woe. I haven't updated my P3P in 3 years, and it still flies like a champ.

    Control Issue with Phantom 3 Pro - Controller seems to connect, but cannot move the drone up or down, turn or go sideways.

    I had the exactly same problem two weeks ago with my P3P as you describe except I didn't crash - merely landed a bit harder than usual. Whereas in every single previous flight over several years my two batteries were always fully charged at the beginning of a flight, this last time I thought...

    Phantom 2 Vision + = Slow blinking red and yellow rear LED's - no motors?

    You got a refund! Good for you. Let us know what newer model you eventually acquire. Good luck.

    Phantom 2 Vision + = Slow blinking red and yellow rear LED's - no motors?

    No, my P2V connects, flies just fine, and takes pictures even though I no longer get an image on my iPhone of what I am photographing. The lost connection message suggests, but does not prove, that the Phantom wants to see satellites. It appears that you are trying to get connection indoors, so...

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (November 2021)

    I've been flying my P3Ps for several years with an iPhone 6 and DJIGO. I tried using an iPad 3 - it worked fine until a week ago when DJIGO would not load. I have not upgraded anything for a couple years. Now I have an iPhone 13 and am anxious to see how that works with DJIGO. I

    No motors no video P3P

    How close are you to a Class B or Class C airport? That may be your problem. P3P has geofencing so that the motors won't even turn on if you are within a mile of such an airport.

    FAA Remote Identification broadcast requirement

    Lessee, 2 years plus 18 months equals 42 months. Who knows what is coming down the pike in that time, either in terms of a retrofit system for Phantoms - or a better and less expensive sUAS? I sure don't know. In the meantime, I intend to enjoy doing a lot of P3P flying over the next 42 months...

    Morning Glory

    Ahh Jeffrey, you're at it again! Beautiful. I had an inkling to join you but I had an errand just at that time. Maybe in the next few weeks as we go into PDT.

    What AC are you flying? Has it experienced a crash? Where are you with respect to a Class A or B airport? Are your batteries fully charged? We need much more information to hep you
