Healthy drones doesn't show me anything out of the ordinary.

Well, while it was doing that I was thinking about what pants I would wear home. ;-) The picture on the iPad was basically sideways and I figured..."hey if it's falling to the earth you should at least watch it." I was not touching anything on the iPad only the RC. Can it do it's own gimbal...

Good first flight. Brand new out of box. Upgraded all firwmare; bird, batter, and RC. Calibrated compass and IMU. Stayed in "beginner" mode and took some video and stills. Two part flight. Took off, up and down, then landed (hand caught). Took off again, flew the same pattern, up and...

I still do not see where it says "will void your warranty" if your firmware is not up to date. Safety implications are different from warranty implications in my mind. I need to read that "disclaimer" that is presented when you decline the firmware update prior to flight; warranty implications...

Absolutely, my reply was not in sharing an opinion regarding whether to upgrade firmware or not; I'll leave that decision to each owner to decide for themselves. I just added my post as the OP was denied, I believe, warranty coverage because his/her firmware was not up to date. My .02 is that...

I would challenge it. If you take a look here, DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography, specifically at the process flow diagram. We'll assume it did not meet "refund and exchange policy" so it was then verified to determine if product or issue complies with...

I think the key is..."Craft required update before flight." aka "not most recent firmware".

So you were current on firmware?

Contact DJI support. I believe they have been fixing/replacing cracked shells. At least that is what their forum appears to indicate.

New Phantom 3 version/variant - "Phantom 3 4K" | DJI Phantom Forum It was here all along.

I recently went from P3S to P3P but with the weather have yet to fly the P3P. I found the P3S down right simple to land so I am interested to hear what you find out.

There is a thread about this somewhere. I think the model is W325 or is speculated to be. I *think* its a 4K camera on a Standard bird. Dont quote me. I'll see if I can find thread. Edit: I cannot find the thread; possibly deleted. I thought I read it on the DJI forums and it included a...

Absolutely, I was comparing the swap with my Standard. My local store (and I had to have it now ;-)) did not have any P3A's only P3Ps so that's what I got.

Just to share my story. I purchased a standard and ran it for a couple of days; only short duration and close flights just to get a feel for it. I ended up returning the standard and going with the Pro because of the extended range and the function buttons on the RC. Probably a totally...
