THANKS ALL for the quick responses. SACMOGV - I was referring to a P3S (should have mentioned that - my bad). Yes, there's an SD card in the battery compartment that holds a flight log (as Dirty Bird said). Are the P3As and P3Ps different in that regard? So basically, I need to just install the...

I purchased mine at Best Buy when DJI was offering the P3S for $699 with a free backpack. Best Buy matched their offer. I did like a few others did on this thread and took the receipt to BB when they went on sale for $499. They refunded $214. Also - the batteries were on sale for $124 at the...

I replaced the SD card on the phantom's camera (larger capacity). Now I've been reading a few posts here and there about the firmware being on the SD card. Which one? Is it the SD card that's "hard to remove" in the battery compartment, or the one on the camera? I purchased a new battery as...

Thanks...

Thank you...

Disclaimer: I'm a total noob at drones, but I recently had a bit of help here with the RTH function. As luck would have it, I was discussing flying into a valley from above. From what I understand, if the RTH was set to 30m then the aircraft will return straight to you if at an altitude above...

WOW - thanks for the quick response folks! I thought that was the maximum height for flight? In the Smart RTH section of the manual (pg. 11) it states that the aircraft will ascend to the RTH alt and return to the home point. So - I guess I can set the RTH alt. However, in the Low Battery RTH...

A Actually - this response was supposed to be on a different thread - SORRY!! But thanks for the great info anyway!!

I hope this hasn't been discussed elsewhere - I searched but couldn't find anything. If I initiate the home location at the top of a hill, or in this case, on a cliff overlooking a canyon or valley, will the RTH feature remember that "home" was at that altitude? Should I be worried about flying...

Right after I read this, I went outside and tried to replicate the "VRS curse" - but on my Blade Nano QX. I've dropped that thing in the grass from about 30 feet, and it barely floated above the grass upon crash…err...I mean landing. Anyway, I was able to replicate the issue, but not exactly as...

Thanks TJ - seems like A LOT of info. Coming from the up/down/left/right, just land before your battery dies world. I'm sure I'll be spending quite a bit of time in here.

Great checklist. As a noob to drones - this s exactly the kind of help I was hoping to find here. KUDOS!
