    Relinking phantom 3 4K with Remote controller...

    I have watched you tube videos, read the quick start guides, and I can not, for the life of me, get my repaired 3 4K Drone to link with remote controller. Can someone send me instructions on how to do it? I didn't have near this problem when I first linked it before I had it repaired! I don't...

    My DJI Customer Service Experience...please read

    I almost didn't buy a Phantom because of the negative comments I read about DJI's customer service on this board. I went ahead and took the plunge, bought the 3 4K Phantom, and sure enough, with in 5 months I found myself needing their service. I was nervous. I tried flying my drone inside a...

    DJI Christmas Email sortof bothered me.

    Just to add a little more to your comment. The first letter of Christ's name does begin with "X", but it's not pronounced as an "x" as it is in English. It's pronounced "chi" - the greek here for Christ, "Ch-ristos," is not X-ristos (using an english pronunciation 'x'). You are right when you...

    CRASH...and then...Gimbal Motor Overload...now what?

    Ok, so I was an idiot and flew my drone inside a room with about 25 foot ceiling to get a picture of something, and something happened (maybe the wind from the propellers pushed it?) and the darn thing ran into the walls and came crashing down. I'm a decent flyer but it all happened so quick I...

    Confused on how far I can fly; scared to push it too far (see pic)

    Thanks everyone for the replies; I had no idea there were so many or I would have written back. I don't know what "OP" stands for, or much of the other lingo you guys use, but if that's me, I apologize for not responding. Yes, I was having a problem calibrating, but only the second step. The...

    That helps, thanks. I was getting those weird signals at Lookout Mtn., and it really frustrated me.

    Yes, thanks for those pointers, but what about at Lookout Mountain? It was gorgeous and I got it at like 50M. I posted the picture to give you an idea how far I was able to go - not far at all.

    Confused on how far I can fly; scared to push it too far (see pic)

    I went on vacation and used my drone in two places, one over the ocean in Daytona Beach and then one on Lookout Mountain in TN. In both instances, my drone didn't get more than 75M either up or away from me, both times I got the "watch out, major interference." Now, it was super windy at the...

    Can I charge for my drone photos/videos without having a license?

    Dear forum, I have an acquaintance of mine who is a roofer and he is inquiring about paying me to use my drone (DJI 3 4K) to do photos and videos of him for roofing jobs. I told him that I am not licensed and to my knowledge, I can not take and sell pictures as it would be considered a business...
