    P3 Pre Orders from Drones ETC

    Before I ordered my first Phantom I was lucky enough to fly a friends (Phantom Vision). Then I was hooked so I ordered one also a Vision. My first few days flying just consisted of take offs to low altitude (15' or so) and landing again. After I was ok with that I practiced other basic...

    P3 Pre Orders from Drones ETC

    Huh...well I guess I should have done the amazon route. I ordered the same day through the site and have heard nothing. I sent them an email a few days ago and nothing. I like doing business with vendors I'm familiar with but its odd that yours shipped and I've heard squat.....

    P3 Pre Orders from Drones ETC

    I think the issue with that might be is that the order number would include people buying other items or parts. So it could be hard to tell.... My order # was 315*

    P3 Pre Orders from Drones ETC

    OK, sounds like things are moving then. PP, you ordered a few days before me so I should suspect to see something soon. This will be my third Phantom from them but its the first time I did one on pre-order. I also did the Pro combo with extra batt, 64 SD and GP hardcase.

    P3 Pre Orders from Drones ETC

    Did anyone else place a pre-order with DronesETC? Originally the site said Orders will ship April 28th - May 4th. So far I have not heard of anyone getting shipping conformation from them. They did have a good deal with the case and everything and I have ordered with them before but I'm thinking...

    P3P Crash

    Did't look like it hit anything to me either! I know there is going to be some differences from people who are used to flying the PV+ going from a fish eye to a 90, but I don't believe you were close enough it hit anything. AS another has said it look like either a motor lock up or a bird waked...

    Anyone here considering earning supplemental income with the P3?

    I have to now go back through my exemptions and file new paperwork since I had used my serial number of my old V+ and now have to go back through and use my P3 once it gets here. Lets just say that here on the shore I paid for my phantom many times over. I also run two e-commerce sited but...

    Cool Backpack

    Its a neat looking little pack. Although most of the time when I am filming I need many batteries and don't like taking props off each time I transport. But for little trips and short film it would be nice to take on my motorcycle.

    P3P side by side comparison with PV2+

    Do you have a good scale? I know the DJI post the weights but I would like to know real world weight difference with battery in. I would do it but I sold my V+ last week...
