Hi I've heard that it is possible to accidently performance a stick command that causes the motors to stop mid flight and fall out of the sky? Can someone tell us more about this so we don't do it?

Hey guys, Gave my P3P a tiny knock from knee height into a wall at 1mph. Still flies in atti mode but no readings for height, distance, Etc. Was advised to reinstall the firmware by a professional as the knock may have affected it and should cure it. So I formatted the sd card, extracted the...

Perhaps. It still works well. For some reason won't connect. I did hit a tree 2 weeks ago, mayb that damage is only affecting now? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Very weird. The camera will pan up or down and shows video feed, but says weak image transition and no settings/can't arm the motors Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

It's the DJI go app Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

It didn't hit anything, as I could see it. Because it landed on a slope it may have turned over. Weird now, it has reset max flight altitude to 0 and doesn't give any battery readings etc Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Hi guys. Flew my phantom 3 pro on a golf course today. Took off on first tee and landed on the green fine. When I got down it had turned upside down and now won't give any readings??? Can't take off etc Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Hi guys! I'm from Ireland and want to take my new P3P to the cliffs of moher (700ft cliffs dropping into the sea instantly). Will I be able to fly in down below the cliff edge, say 100m below take off point? Cheers!

Cheers Ken. Is the wind around the sea generally in the one direction or does it change frequently? Is there usually much difference in wind speed, say 10m altitude and 10m in the sea compared to 60-100m altitude and 200m into the water? Scary :) Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Hi guys, Pretty new to this P3P. Would like to fly around the coast/sea. The coast is generally known to be windier than inland. Can someone give me advice on how to know if it's safe to fly round the beaches/over the sea (wind related and how to find wind speed?) Many thanks! Mark (From...

cheers msinger. It took a heck of a thump. Split second and it was from the wire to the ground

Only got it Christmas Day and devastated. I should have known to look out for wires but first time in a busy place and the pressure was on

Here's the damage. Turns out the camera has no wires connected. Both ribbons off, just dangling by the shock absorber rubber. And the body obviously hammered. I think you can buy replacement body £50?

thanks for getting in touch. There are wires detached from the camera/gimball, and the body has 2mm gaps in a few places.

Videoed the town at night with Christmas decorations. Tried to land on pavement. Didn't see invisible overhead cables, P3P flung at the pavement. Camera and gimball hanging by a wire, and the body shows gaps in parts. any idea of a repair cost? I can connect to the drone, but no camera image...
