Just posted my first drone edit.... Having some fun in this weekend's snow with a Jeep, some old skis, and my Phantom 3 Standard. When a blizzard drops a whopping 2" of snow in North Carolina, many of us hunker down with a good supply of milk, bread and eggs. Some of us dig out some 30 year...

From what I've heard you can't apply DJI Care to preexisting damage. If it's under warranty I'd still send it in. They'll pay the shipping, and you might find it's a lot cheaper to have them "fix" it, even if the drone is totaled. That's what happened to me - they sent me a 3 Standard back for...

I am plugged in to proper USB port, but it's not coming up on my Mac or PC.

I recently had my Phantom 3 Standard crash. It seemed like it lost image connection and then just fell out of the air. It's in pretty bad way... The camera is completely missing and one of the motors is just dangling. I want to access the flight logs stored on the drone to see if I can figure...
