Antennas were oriented correctly, flat parts facing the drone and channel set to auto. Strange thing is I'm out in the middle of nowhere, don't have any service on my phone even. There is a Verizon tower somewhere in the area but I'm at least a couple miles from it. Good to know that it can be...

I was flying over one of the branches of the Ozarks yesterday almost half a mile out, over open water and without any obstruction between me and the drone (though it was too small to see at that distance) and I got a couple 'weak video signal' warnings and then video cut out. I used the map to...

Will do! Pretty sure the drone side contacts are okay because I flew a full battery worth on a different battery after seeing the new one didn't work.

Maybe it wasn't fully inserted before or something but I put the battery in again to answer your questions and it worked almost immediately... Oh well... thanks for your help! =)

I updated it to the same version that the other battery and equipment is at already.

I just got a new DJI battery for my P3A. When I turn it on everything indicates that the drone is communicating with the RC and the app except I get no camera feed and the app says it's disconnected. However, the app will still display information about the drone showing that it is still...

Sounds good, I think I'll do the same

I was thinking about that but I'm afraid cracks will start to grow underneath them and I don't want to remove them all the time to check.

Great, thank you!

New, looks the same as the picture

I bought my P3A on ebay used and it came with snap on prop guards already installed. I haven't used and don't plan on using them in the foreseeable future so I just tried taking them off. I removed all 4 screws from one of them and realized I don't have the original screws to replace them - they...

They didn't state it was DJI but, since I didn't know generics existed, I didn't think to check. Now I have to ship it to China and wait on a refund -__-

Yeah, I've seen about the same amount of 'will work/won't work' comments that I would be comfortable flying with the generic for the most part but I'd hate to have it just stop working someday when I need it. @fastfed True on the money, it is a lot more than a generic but if it might stop...

Ah the firmware thing makes sense, didn't know about that. Shoulda done more research and saved myself some hassle. Thanks for your help everyone!

I don't believe the warranty is an issue for me since I bought this used. And I definitely wouldn't have bought this if I'd known it was generic but now that I have it I'm just wondering what others experiences have been with generic batteries.
