I have not flown internationally with mine but domestically (Canada), I had to check it. They wouldn't let it on as carry-on, no explanation beyond "them's the rules". I checked it (in a flight case with batteries, transmitter, iPad) and had no problems with damage or hassles going through...

4K makes a huge difference, even if you're later dropping the resolution to 1080p. But, I wouldn't say any of these aerial devices will be an investment for many years to come. The technology is still advancing too quickly (as is the price dropping). For example, I can't even get $500 for a...

db - did you send yours to an LA address for repair? I'm also curious how they got your flight logs?

I saw 98% on the app when I connected. The logs show the battery at 58% for the entire flight, which obviously isn't correct. It's plausible that having just disconnected this battery from the charger I saw 98% when it was instead 58%. However via my experience as a professional IT tech, I would...

Or, perhaps the software is failing all on it's own, likely due to faulty battery chemistry, and the pilots aren't doing anything other than flying under the circumstances DJI recommends.

Thanks SD. This battery was charged fully the previous evening (<24 hrs.). When I hit the button on the battery, before inserting it, it showed full (all bars). When I connected it (via DJI Go app), I don't recall it saying lower than 98%, but like I said I was watching the Phantom, not the...

No, I did not hover but the drone ran on the ground before I took off, as I understood the suggestion was to do, and everything was green on the app. The battery was fresh from the charger, indoors, showed 98% in the Go app, and the Phantom had just completed a full-battery flight with no...

That's exactly what I was doing, yes - takeoff, full throttle up and out. If this is a known issue why wouldn't they alert people not to do this via the app? I already get popup alerts every time I launch DJI Go. Any idea how I initiate a claim with DJI then? They don't seem to respond to...

Purchased at Henry's in Canada (national photo retail chain), less than a year ago, but I doubt they'll take it back. I wish warranties were based on usage hours not simply length of time. Not like hardware wears out just sitting around. I'm in Nova Scotia, so not a very cold climate, not yet...

So, last night I flew this P3 Pro, successfully for a full battery, landed and swapped batteries, took off again, and about 4 or 5 seconds in, it went completely dark, no LED, and fell from the sky. It fell straight down. I slammed the left stick up as soon as it began falling, and although I...

I had high hopes after reading this thread, but I can't even get dji go to connect to the rc (using a Nexus7 / 4.4.2), the app never leaves the "how to connect" demo. Apparently a problem with the latest firmware, seems they've managed to ruin both Android and iOS compatibility in one fell swoop.

I also have this problem, brand new P3. Has everyone complaining here also reported it to DJI?

I'll admit I didn't read all the posts in this thread, so someone may have already voiced this opinion. Cyanoacrylate bonding agents are all very brittle, granted there are better and worse formulations. I'd opt for a high end epoxy first, not the hardware store kind but one with some flex like...

The gimbal I took apart had a lock screw on the yaw axis attachment, there is a bearing pressure fit over the end of the shaft to help keep that axis centred. The other axis were secured via stews through to the motors, there were no axis only pressure fit. There were multiple points where just...

Thanks. I'm familiar with normal stepper / brushless noise, this is different. On steep roll, the gimbal is extremely loud, louder than the props. If the gimbal hits the end of it's travel of roll on either side, it makes a loud noise from about 15% from the end until the end and appears to...
