    Distance questions about P3

    With a dbsmod antenna I pushed as far out as 20,000 feet on a stock battery and came home on the wings of angels. IMHO you're good for 15k without upper level winds against you. Sent from my A0001 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Are the controllers hard to take apart?

    The remote is easy to get into. Have a look at some videos first on YouTube to see if its something you want to tackle. You won't know what you have until you look inside.

    Another Phantom 3 shake after crash

    I just fixed my shake that looked like this one here. The gimbal arm had moved up the post and was gently touching the mounting plate. This caused the transference of the vibration of the bird in flight directly to the camera. I thought the arm had bent but I loosened the grub screw on the...
