My P3P just arrived back from DJI today, took a short test flight and life seems to be good. Does still have the poor video signal quality that seems to have come along with the 1.8 RC update, but it's still good to be back in the air again. I have a Mavic on order, but that won't even ship...

The main board is $96 and the labor is $65 (if repaired via DJI). Suggest that anyone seeking repair in the US to contact DJI directly rather than paying additional cost charged by third party repair shops. My aircraft is out of warranty. I bought it used from a private party who had crashed...

What did they say was wrong? How much are they charging you?

So when I spoke with DJI this morning, they first said I should be able to downgrade the firmware and then retry loading the new version. However, the message on the PX3_FW_RESULT.txt file shows "The current firmware does not support downgrade". I tried going back to 1.09.0060 as well as...

Did they say how much they are going to charge you? My bird is not under any type of warranty and I'm not wanting to throw a lot of money at it.

Or, you could buy a Phantom 2 H4/3D and put your Hero4 Black on that. Then, you'll have 2 birds (as I do) :) The H4/3D performance is amazing. Of course, there's a lot more to it than that and you don't have the DJI App to control things with, but as far as actual video... well, you get the...

A good balance when you are first learning things is to set the camera to shoot video and capture photos at the same time. The trade off is you don't have much control over image resolution in that mode. The upside it that you get both. One thing to note is that when the camera is capturing...

Not a problem. I see you had a question regard video vs photo in another thread but since I am here, I'll give you my feed back on that over on that thread. Glad to hear you are making progress though! :) Phil

Well, that got a little ugly (unnecessarily). We are here to help each other so... I would like to add some additional information as I have a Phantom 2 w/the H4-3D Gimbal using a Hero4 Black (although I started with a Silver and the weight difference that people talk about is insignificant...

This set is made specifically for the P3S http://www.amazon.com/PolarPro-DJI-Phantom-Filter-3-Pack/dp/B00WMJDPZ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452406311&sr=8-2&keywords=polar+pro I have them and they work great!

That is for the Inspire 1 or Phantom 3 Pro/Advanced RC. This thread is about the P3 Standard and the item you linked will not work on the RC for the P3S.

Happy Flying! :)
