The thing about this that stands out to me is that as it apparently gets closer, the size of the object doesn't seem to dramatically increase as you would expect of an object traveling at high speed but which becomes visible at a meaningful distance away as this one appears to. If it does indeed...

It's a 3 so no obstacle avoidance.

For your entertainment, here is the video that was rolling when she went down. In other news, I have her all repaired now, I just need to take her out when I have some time and run some test flights.

Very helpful, thank you sir.

Thank you all very much for the pointers. This forum has been a huge help over the last couple years. One of the things that was surprising in the crash was the video. I had the camera rolling when I lost signal so when I recovered the drone I hoped I'd at least have a good crash video to help...

Not a bad idea. I'll look in to that.

I've owned my P3A for 3 years and finally had my first crash. I lost line of sight behind a rock at the top of a mountain for a split second, lost feed, and slammed into that rock. After a very long, stressful hike, I found the bird after what seemed to be a miracle. The battery ejected when it...

Same thing happened to me. New SD card did the trick.

Agree with above. Move very slow. Pro drone videos make it hard to tell if a drone is shooting the video or a helicopter. Quick jerky movements make it a giveaway.

Good on you for doing the right thing trying to return it. As a Utah native, I wonder if you might also post it on KSL.

Hey all, I've had my P3A for a couple years now and have done some great things with it. I mostly use it for photography but have done a few videos. The last year or so I've noticed that the video only records very short clips before just stopping by itself. I fly with a Galaxy Tab A and for...

Cheers! Thanks guys!

If your battery is at 25% is it okay to charge it up to 50-60% and then unplug or do you need to charge it up to 100% and then let it self discharge? I'm talking about a long term storage situation.
