    The Phantom 3 Standard can still stand proud and love it

    I will be using it for a a commercial. Selling a 66 Mustang convertible. Grant it, it won't be the primary shot, but I'm sure it will do great.

    Your Best Advice for New Drone Owners

    If I could say a few things it would be to 1.Practice with simulator for a bit. It helps with getting used to the controls and builds confidence(turning on props, landing and take off) 2. Fly low and slow away from ALL objects. It's very easy to crash around object, pretty difficult to crash...

    Had a bad day doing what I enjoy most.

    Tony, Im not sure why, but i feel the need as a younger man (not super young) to apologize for the behavior of a this guy. I know i didn't actually do the degrading, but it is true that a generation has lost respect for their "fathers". What he did to you infuriates us, and if we were there...

    The Phantom 3 Standard can still stand proud and love it

    Great videos...what settings are you all using on your standard? I have actually done a search and info is very spotty for the P3S. There is information for the Pro, 4 etc, but only general info for the standard. I was about to start a new thread and ask, but if you tell me, I won't have to!!!

    So a cop pulled up tonight when I was flying....

    No question about it in my opinion. Go, go, go....I'd say just be as helpful as you can and what you don't know, you don't know. I think you will gain favor with the police station as a partner...Then if anyone else complains about you, they will blow them off

    Let's hear it for the Standard!

    I really am glad I got a standard 3. I was on a budget and didn't factor in extra battery, case, extra props etc. I'm going to buy a mavic after awhile. But standard 3 does almost everything the others do. Upgrading get better camera, few more nic nacs smaller footprint...speed etc.

    Just bought a P3S

    I have a standard and really like it. I also have an s8 and have the exact same issue. I just used an iPhone to change settings, and went back to my s8. I haven't had any problems with it

    I'll second that. A wise man learns from his mistakes. A wiser man will learn from the mistakes of others.

    Getting going with Phantom 3 Standard

    I'm not entirely sure myself about the bugginess, so I would direct you to search the forums and web. It's always a guess when something goes wrong because flightlogs only tell part of the story, or so I read because I've yet to have any issues with my phantom, thank God. I'm fairly new to the...

    Another reason was RTH was engaged, then the user tried to regain control of aircraft with no camera I'm guessing. The Aircraft then hovered in place until battery died....

    RTH has failed most of time because yes, user will set too low and it'll crash into something. But what freaked me was the unexplained bugginess that happens sometimes. Why does that happen? No clue

    Getting going with Phantom 3 Standard

    I NEVER use auto take off, nor have I used return to home. When I was researching one of the main causes of flyaways, guess what popped up? Yup, Return to home. Now grant it, there were many errors associated when using the RTH feature that ended in flyaway, but why chance it? At least at...
