I'm a buyer at $700

You also must consider that not all terrain is flat/level. You can be 50' above the takeoff point (which will show as 50ft in the app) while flying only 5' off the ground if the ground is 45' higher where the bird is flying. That along with the fact that the altitude indication is only an...

Why do people hit the RTH button after receiving messages like the "disconnected" message here? The aircraft is designed to return to home automatically in such cases, so the only possible outcomes of hitting the RTH button are nothing (if you still have no RC signal) or you will inadvertently...

None of those would cause the aircraft to flip upside down. My guess is one of the motors stopped working. As for the P3 not functioning and smoking when it was started later, I think the OP did not wait long enough for the aircraft to dry completely. A good week or two of sitting would have...

I live near the Cuyahoga National Park and I know flying there is a no go. But I think you are ok in the State Parks in Ohio. Probably depends which ranger comes upon you and his personal opinion on the rules though...

With the current price of the P3A and P3P, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to throw hundreds of $ at a P3S or P34K in hopes of obtaining Lightbridge type range. Just my opinion...

I fail to see how someone could view this ad and think they were receiving anything but a 3rd party "compatible" battery. Nowhere in the ad does it state this is a DJI battery.

Having yet to take my first flight, I have found myself reading many threads on these forums over the past few weeks. Funny that I am so intrigued with the max-distance threads (how can I take my P3S out a mile... or 2 miles... or farther?...) yet I know for sure I will be nervous and too...

Mine is strictly for hobby use as well. If I had a professional application for it, I would probably have spent the extra $ for a adv/pro model. I may eventually add a range extender, as I would like to try flights of 5000ft+ distance. I have always loved photography and anything that flies...

The recent sale was enough to convince me to buy a P3S (actually got mine for $400). Now I am just waiting for the weather to warm up above 20F before I take my first flight. I know the P3 can handle the cold temps, but I am not anxious to stand out in an open field on these cold days, so I...

No, the adv/pro also do not have audio with their cameras. I'm not sure why anyone would want to here the propeller whine of a drone in video images anyway.
