    Phantom 3 Standard out of control

    Just an update, replaced my P3Standard with a P3Pro, can use my batteries, can use my case, this unit works flawlessly, have now flown it several times, super stable and responsive. My new P3Pro is super. Thanks for all that helped me realize my new part time job wasn't fixing broken drones...

    Went ahead and bought a nice P3 professional, I will sell off my p3 standard stuff, why you might ask why not buy newer? I have batteries, line chargers, pelican case, for a P3 so made sense to keep what value invested I have. Again thanks for the assistance and guidance. Bill

    Thanks for the quick diagnosis, so if I keep it, send it in to DJI or just put it up on ebay as is, I had P2 that after a river encounter just about put me in the poor house trying to fix it, don't want to go that route again.

    I do apologize, hope I upload the correct file, part of this is I don't understand most of the drone terminologies, purchased and have used for a couple of years, never had an issue before this started. Not really into this too much.

    Phantom 3 Standard out of control

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the help, had it out on a job today and it did the same out of control thing twice, First time it just flew past me, didn't respond to the controls at all and hit a shrub, second time ended upside down on the blacktop and couldn't even shut off the motors. I...

    I did this out of panic, I have lost confidence in this drone, when it comes at you one tends to do this, it does not like to do a stable hover, I know what that is, it was always stable before, just hasn't seen this behavior exhibited recently.

    Phantom 3 Standard out of control

    I flew it again a few days ago, still seems less stable than when I first got it. I did use a bone stock controller, only mod is tablet bracket. Got the picture I needed by ignoring the fly zone warnings, can't clear it off my display, I was maybe up 50 feet, no airports, I think the warning is...

    First, allow me to say Thanks Rod, I am not that experienced with these things as you are. I have one of those magnetic parts trays and I did pass it around the compass prior to calibration, saw this as a suggestion somewhere. I have three controllers, one is DBS antenna modified, second is bone...

    Thank so much in trying to help me, I have been reading about a cfixer also, I have not been calibrating the compass correctly, have a watch on, controller haging by strap etc, gonna try doing everything correctly but I have been doing it that way since I got it. Very cool to see that flight...

    You do realize I've been using my modded controller for a couple years, I will give the stock one a try.

    I have done a controller calibration, will read what you advise, can't believe I've lost what little confidence I had in this thing.
