IANAL, but if you give your drone photos or video to anyone else you should have them indemnify you by signing an agreement not to sell, lease, rent or in any other way generate money from your drone photos/videos. Of course you should check with a lawyer. Kevin H.

I didn't know about stopping the motors by just pulling the ascend/descend stick straight down. I'll check it out as soon as it stops raining! Thanks for all the useful replies. Kevin H.

Hello all, I've been grounded all winter so today I fired up my P3P with my new iPhone 6S to make sure all the components were still working. Everything went well until the landing. As I went to pull the sticks down and in to shut down the props, I must have not pulled one of the sticks...

I have never hand caught my drone. If you're alone, how do you shut the props down one-handed? I do always bring along a 2' x 2' piece of plywood as a landing/takeoff pad. I can lay it on grass, dirt, gravel and always have a flat, level surface. If it's not level, I can usually make it so...

Called DJI, got an RMA number and sent it back yesterday. I called them two days short of six-months since I bought it, so I hope I don't get any hassle on warranty repairs. I'll post back here when I get it back. I only had about a two minute wait to get someone on the phone at DJI; she was...

+1 Great info to have. Thanks.

I have tried IMU calibration, calibrating the sticks, every version of the FW more than once. I've checked and rechecked all the cables. I've formatted three different SD cards repeatedly on the bird and on my computer. I'm currently at 1.5.3 on the AC and 1.5.7 on the RC. Still no video...

TrynFlyn, I was afraid of this, but expecting it. As I stated before, I am able to record still photos and video to the SD card. When I've flown it with these problems, the gimbal looks rock solid in the recorded video; I just can't see live video or any recorded items on the DJI GO app. I...

I'm positive I have the P3 Pro. I've generated 4K video. I'm reluctant to 'disconnect' the camera and possibly void any warranty I might have with DJI. I just checked again and the camera is actually working. I can record stills and video to the SD card, remove the card and view them on my...

Normally you only get the P3X_FW_RESULT_AB.txt file, which simply says success or fail. The file I am indicating is a log file, P3X_FW_LOG_AB.txt, which is inside the hidden MISC directory. You have to set your computer to show "hidden" files to see it.

I tried all the steps above and no change in my situation. One interesting thing did occur when I formatted the card using the RC. It generated a hidden MISC directory on the SD card. In that directory was a LOG dir and inside that was a .txt file that had additional info. I don't know what...

I'm on it. Have to charge up my controller first. Will report back.

re: formatting SD card on the aircraft (AC). I erase all the files on my SD card, then I plug the USB port on the gimbal into my computer with a USB cable. I insert the SD card and power on the AC. After the gimbal does its thing I begin hearing a D...D...D...D... sound. Not the D D D D sound...

Be advised, the bridges might mess with the P3's compass. You might have to move the P3 away from the bridge before starting it up.

Believe me, no offense taken at all. When I download the update file from DJI.com, it appears in my download directory as P3X_FW_V01.05.0030.bin, not as a zip file. The file size is 65.9 Mb. I'm using a MAC Mini and I believe it unpacks/unzips it automatically. Do I need to unzip the...
