Just an update for all of those that helped work this out. I bought some tools and opened the thing up looking for an error with the compass. As it turns out the little gray wire coming from the compass had been smashed in the clip holding the top of the shell on. I straightened the wire out...

@RodPad Very helpful thanks for the links... Sounds like I will have to take this in to be fixed after all or maybe I can try and open it up and see if it's something that goes back together easily...

So I guess now the real question is this a hardware problem (i.e. broken compass) or does the drone always show 0's when uncalibrated and I just need to find a way to calibrate the compass somehow?

I can make it to those settings and I have already calibrated the IMU twice and that seems to be working. The compass is showing 0's across the board though. (Screenshots below)

That is encouraging to hear. I will take it out tomorrow to a park and let it sit for awhile and see if I can do the compass calibration after that and make sure there is no interference. @DanMan32 - that could be the case, the flashing pattern didn't really seem to fit any of the ones in the...

Which values do you mean? I can bring everything up it just won't let me do anything with the drone without calibrating the compass first.

@Oso Thanks for the suggestion - here is the video of the drone and the sounds

Thanks! I just looked through that manual but the signals have changed and it doesn't seem to match. Thanks for the reply though!

Trying to get back in the air...

Hello all, I am a new drone pilot and as such I immediately crashed into a tree. Now I am hoping some of the more experienced and tech savvy pilots will have pity on me and help me figure out the issues that my Phantom 3 Standard is having. I have scoured the manual and forums and have found...
