I just got a refurbished P3S to replace the one I crashed in the river. I am not sure if the gimbal movement is normal? Seems the camera pitches up when I rotate to the left. Seem in flight I noticed it rolling not keeping the camera flat? I did make sure I was not in FPV mode. Problem or am I...

Had a great time flying up in Wisconsin over the 4th right up to the point where I killed my P3 by flying it into a bridge over the Fox River in Appleton. Solid pilot error. I "thought" I was past the end of the bridge flying visually. Dropbox - File Jul 06, 9 46 31 PM.mov Wondering if a Mav...

I flew it straight in. I was flying looking at the drone and thought it was past the end of the bridge. Guess my depth perception was a few feet off. I have not flown a drone with obstacle avoidance so not sure if it would have saved me or not. Trying to decide if I get another P3S or spend...

I join the ranks of those who have lost a Phantom because there stupid. Question is would a mavic with the avoidance sensors stopped this in time? Trying to decide to I replace or bite the bullet and upgrade. Thoughts??? Dropbox - File Jul 06, 9 46 31 PM.mov

Lol and that would be against the law in the US. Equivalent to hijacking or shooting down a aircraft. But hey if you can sell a few hundred to people that will likely never see a drone fly overhead why not make some money. A sucker born every minute they say.

That video would be cool the play in reverse!

Anyone flying the locks and river in Appleton? Is it drone friendly there? Grew up in Appleton and will bring my P3S with me to OSH17 to get some video of my favorite spots if I can

Sounds like a new business opportunity knocking

Awesome

The GameStop battery was original manufacturing and had zero charge. Updated the firmware same as the battery I got oem from best buy the same day with price match. Identical box, battery and charge time. Ran a 25 min flight today shows same life and numbers as all my other batteries

I bought on at my local game stop and got another today at Best Buy with a price match. Lots of folks are scoring these the last two days!

I just got one from game stop and one price matched at Best Buy :) first Best Buy said no, second sold me one only for the 49.97 price. :)

Update, I put one on hold last night at one of the Game Stops here in Houston from the GameStop web sight. Got the confirmation email and battery was waiting for me when I went to pick it up after work. Tried one Target with the price match and was denied. Same at the first Best Buy. Second Best...

Just put two on hold at my local GameStop. Got the confirmation e-mail and will pick up tomorrow :) Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Is there a sweet spot for speed distance and battery life during a flight? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots
