    My first flight was a disaster!

    Lipo batteries are hazardous and can cause explosions/off gassing of chemicals harmful to breath. They have voltage protection, however inside the plastic casing lies the same lithium polymer battery that has been around for a long time in the RC world. Please treat your DJI batteries with...

    P3 Pro Lost Signal - Drone Gone

    Searching for it is your decision. Forum can't help with that unfortunately. Your flight log shows the battery errors dotted through your flight, so that's a learning point for when you get in the air again. Good luck if you decide to search for it.

    P3 Pro Lost Signal - Drone Gone

    I would advise to keep an eye on those warnings as they come up (30 secs into your flight, then 3 mins later and then again...) If you're flying in high wind and big gusts at those altitudes 250' up, the battery can overheat trying to fight the wind. Just because it may seem calm winds at...

    Phantom 3 Advanced, fell from 15ft

    You'd be best to send it in to get fixed. New ones on ebay now 599 to give you price reference point. DJI may just fix or replace it depending on what they find with the logs, etc... I would try DJI first.
