    Another loser making it bad for all!!!

    The good drone pilots are getting the raw end of this whole thing. Just as I am a person who carries a pistol at all times but all you hear is the bad stuff. You never hear of a good thing a "drone" pilot has done just like you never hear about how many crimes were thwarted because of a person...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    I will if I ever hear from them, but it's not looking too good. They tell me I may not even have mine back before the snow flies here. I only had about 3 hours on it and had to send it in. I think I have learned my lessen

    Sent PH3P to DJI - still no word on it

    I sent mine in The 1st week in July at which time they told me the standard 6 weeks. At the 5 week mark I called in to see when I might expect it (I hadn't heard anything except that it had been delivered). They got back to me that it would be bumped to expedited. I then got an email that it had...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    Hi Mostafa, I had to finally call in to have them help me as I had run out of things to check and test. I was also having the issues with the screw holes being cracked by the rear motors. I sent it in and have heard nothing from them at all except that they had received it. I believe that they...

    DIY Antenna Booster for Phantom 3

    Could someone tell me which one is the receive and the transmitting antennae? Or maybe I'm speaking out of my you know what but It seemed to me that one did transmitting and the other did the receiving. I looked through the posts and didn't see that info or maybe I missed it. But this is a great...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    Well it turns out there was nothing that could be done on my end so I am sending it in. The US Support was really good. I did appreciate their help. So I am sending it in for the video issues as well as the cracking around the rear motor mount screws. Be gone for 6 weeks. Thanks all for the...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    This looks like the thing to check for me. I am real familiar with those ribbon cables. I work on laptops as well as desktop systems. My first time taking apart a Phantom, I worked with them and already had wished they used a lock on them like the "flip over" type locks they use in the laptops...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    Mine was already in the "Auto" setting, so what I did do was try it in a "Set" channel, then went back to "Auto". Still nothing.

    Lost signal, no camera control

    Ok I follow you now. You weren't talking about the app, you were meaning the firmware. Yes I'm at 1.2.8 as I have the advanced and you have the pro. You messed me up when you said 1.20 of the app. I think you meant to say up above that you had 1.2.0 of the firmware and not the app. Anyway, I...

    ROLL CALL: People Who have experienced P3P 1.2.6 firmware Issues - To be Sent to DJI "Customer Svc"

    I have upgraded to that and yes, that is when a lot of my problems started and also have the motor mount cracks and I'm now battling the "No Signal" issue which I still have not resolved. Thought I was going to have a bunch of vids that I was going to combine from this July 4th weekend at lake...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    I'm going to look at those items I didn't yesterday and hopefully something will show itself. If it does or does not, I will post those results ASAP. I did forget to mention that upon initial inspection after looking through these posts, I too did find the cracks around the motor mount screws...

    Lost signal, no camera control

    I am having an issue with video loss and no camera control (P3A using iPad 2 Air w/latest Pilot app and the 1.2.9 firmware on unit) When the unit boots up and does the camera thing, the camera will point straight forward like it should and then after about 30 seconds, the camera just drops to...

    No signal on the pilot app

    I am having same issue. (P3A using iPad 2 Air) Would lose signal every once in awhile and first thought it was with SD Card as when it was swapped out, all was fine. Now that I am up north (MN) at the cottage on the lake, my video yesterday would flicker different colors the lose signal, come in...
