There was no way to save this Phantom. I new what was happening thus turned the Phantom around in order to get it back and there was no way to keep altitude when it was in auto landing. The Phantom was just to far away from the dock.
This is a flaw in DJI's battery management. This shouldn't...
I see way to may posts of Phantoms and Inpires just droping out of the sky. I posted this last year here and it looks like tha Admin removed my post.
I put a claim in with DJI and they were only going to give me a discount on a "new" unit, I didn't take them up on there offer.
DJI Phantom 3 Pro...
Just be careful not to start flying your P3 at/around 62% battery life. I really enjoy flying over water and got bit by this. I'm seeing way to many P3 and even Inspires drop out of the sky because
of these "smart" batteries.
See my photo's / Video of the crash:
I'm sad to say I'm now the owner of a salvaged P3pro that crashed into a lake in Maine. I was able to borrow a boat and fish it out of the lake.
What upsets me is the battery failed at 58% I did contact DJI and they are only giving me a 30% discount on another new P3pro.
Here is the crash...
Never thought id be this happy owning the Phantom 3 after owning a Phantom 1. This quad is amazing! During my flights I catch myself smiling and giggling on how much fun I'm having.
Here's a vid of me flying with a Phantomm 2 Vision+
on other lipo chargers there a setting for draining the battery for storage. The white chargers that come with the phantom doesn't have that feature.
Crazy about the cops!!!
I'm headed down to Nantucket in 2 weeks to help film a short Christmas movie from a director from New York! I can't wait!!!
