    Shell Crack - rear motor screws

    Here's a picture of the older phantoms - it's missing the "X Brace" as well as some of the other bracing. Took this from another thread on here (Thanks).

    Shell Crack - rear motor screws

    Okay, so I opened my Phantom tonight to survey the damage. I'll let the pictures do the talking. From what I can tell, the 2 cracks must be minor surface cracks. I carefully examined the shell motor mount and can't find anything. I hated to go through all the trouble of opening it up just to...

    Shell Crack - rear motor screws

    Thanks Roy. I'd like to try to repair it myself ( I've heard some horror stories about 3-4 month repair times at DJI). I'm kind of a novice when it comes to epoxies. Is there a particular epoxy/glue you would recommend? Preferably I'd like to pick it up locally. Thanks in advance.

    Shell Crack - rear motor screws

    I routinely check my Phantom 3 Standard for shell cracks and up until today all has been well. However, tonight I see 2 cracks - one is somewhat superficial, but the other crack connects between 2 of the motor screws (or what i think is the motor screws). This is on the rear left arm if you're...

    Observation - Poor RC & FPV performance with certain mobile devices

    It's common knowledge that FPV quality/responsiveness in the DJI GO App is affected by what kind of tablet/phone you use. However, I have noticed that my normal RC controls are also affected by the device I use. For example, my old phone was a Moto X 2013 (1.7 dual core, 2GB RAM). I just...

    49$ tablet works

    I want to vouch for the RCA Voyager II being a good tablet for use with DJI GO. I ran it for a couple of weeks and it performed great. My only issue was with the screen (clarity, viewing angles). However, it does have a matte finish which may help with glare. With that said, I'd like to add...

    P3 Standard distance

    I took mine out to 1500 ft and lost RC signal - video was fine. The RC signal quality showed 4/5 bars up until hat point, so i wonder if maybe it was just a fluke. I need to try it again. I've read about people with snapped antenna wires, so if anyone is only getting 2-300 feet then I think...

    Tablet Holder?

    It's very sturdy in my opinion, at least compared to the factory Phantom 3 mount, which is plastic I think (Inspire is metal). I've seen some videos where the mount was flopping around. This does not happen with my aftermarket mount. I could see it loosening up over time, but you would just...

    P3 Standard Case with RC Controller mod

    I bought a cheap case off ebay and hacked it to fit my standard controller with the inspire mount. I just had to cut some of the styrofoam out, but it fits okay now. Here's a link to the one I bought, or one that looks just like it: Nylon Case DJI Phantom 3 Professional Advance Shoulder...

    DJI GO app camera view video - watch/download after the flight?

    Thanks to both of you. I was actually more interested in having the exact screen being recorded. I thought the app could do that on it sown, but I guess people are just using the screen recording apps as msinger pointed out. But it's still nice to know where the fpv videos are.

    Just bought Nuxus 7 II (2013) for use with P3P Any advice?

    I have Nexus 7 2012, and couldn't agree more. I did the v5 (lollipop) update when it was first available and it ruined my tablet same way as yours. It was essentially unusable. I downgraded to 4.4 and it was fine again (fast and responsive). However, I will say I recently did a wipe/reload...

    DJI GO app camera view video - watch/download after the flight?

    Sorry if this is a noob question, but is there a way to watch the DJI GO app camera view video after a flight? I see the flight records in the app and can watch it, but it's just a google map aerial feed showing my flight path (which is still cool, but not what i'm interested in). I've seen...

    Very short range P3S

    I'm running the latest firmware on my stock P3 standard. I flew out to 1500 feet today and lost RC signal triggering the RTH. Signal was showing 5 bars right before it was lost. I never lost FPV feed. It wasn't a big deal because I was planning to turn around anyway. Next time I'll try to...

    Tablet Holder?

    I tried mounting the iPad but it was too big (by about 3/4 of an inch). I looked up the dimensions of the iPad (and iPad air) and it is around 7.5'' wide. The holder opening is around 6.75 at the most. So, looks like iPad Mini and maybe some Android 9'' inch tablets would be the biggest...

    Tablet Holder?

    Hello danesmess - glad my post helped. I haven't tried it with anything bigger than a 7'' tablet. I do have an old gen1 iPad. I'll try to just mount it tonight to see if it fits. I'll post a picture.
