    Looking for advice/confirmation

    Thanks, fellas. Solentlife, I debated that quite a bit, and I was close to sending it off to a DJI certified place I found only 2 states away, but I've worked on complex electronics a bit over the years, so I decided to do it myself. I wanted the satisfaction of doing it myself, but I'm just...

    Looking for advice/confirmation

    Ok, I crashed my P3Pro last year, got it tangled in powerlines while trying to maneuver into position to get a specific camera shot, while watching busy traffic on the hiway to keep from getting myself killed. When I retrieved the a/c it was beeping very loudly, about the same rate as the...

    Android/DJI Go issues?

    I've had similar issues with my new P4 Pro. I never had these issues with my P3 Pro! I can only fly about 100-200 ft disntance, no matter what the environment. I, too, have tried parks, over the ocean, urban, rural, you name it--I ALWAYS get the "interference" warnings when I start the Go 4...

    Shop CLEANUP - P3 / P4 items

    No, can't be fixed, plastic broken & a part missing. When I didn't hear back I found a new gimbal & camera. A little pricey, but I needed it in a hurry. Thanks anyway!

    Shop CLEANUP - P3 / P4 items

    Travis1 or anybody: The other day I managed to get my P3 Pro tangled in some wires and the camera broke off. So, I need a new P3 Pro gimbal and camera. Anyone havet it? The flexible flat cable also broke. (Hopefully there is a piece inside that will show me where to connect it!) Please...

    HDMI Module Runs Hot

    Now that's a reply that was to the point, concise, and well worth waiting for! Wish everyone replied like that.

    Litchi Mission Lost Phantom

    Sorry, "exremetm," but if the bird was out of RF contact, he wouldn't have any image recorded on his tablet, and since he doesn't have the bird, of course he can't look at the SD card! I have lost mine before, when I was documenting the beach erosion at Edisto Beach after Hurricane Matthew, but...

    Tips for Getting Your Remote Pilot Certificate

    Thanks for the support. Even though people consider me smart, and I got good grades in college & grad school, I went back to tech school to get a network engineering certificate because I build electronic things that connect with the Internet, and I wasn't sure what I didn't know. I got good...

    Charleston SC Phantom Pilots?

    I have a P3 Pro and live in Goose Creek also! Didn't know there were other pilots so close. I've found good places here locally, but I take my Phantom all over the state. Would be happy to meet up with any of you guys, text or call me in advance to plan: Skyzalimit 706-833-9221.

    Sample COA Application for DJI Phantom

    I am also interested in applying for a COA, partly because I want to use it with my photography business and photometrics for agriculture, and also for civil use with Emergency Management/Response. The reason I haven't gotten anywhere is because I read through everything, and, unless it has...

    Charleston SC Phantom Pilots?

    Another Goose Creek P3Pro pilot here! I've had mine since late July 2015.Maybe we can get together and fly, as well as compare notes. My usual practice spot is at the field off Hwy 52 where the Goose Creek Police Dept is located, along with the Community Center. I fly around the lake and...

    P4 camera not as sharp as I was hoping

    To aaronrovera, et al: it's probably something called rolling shutter, but just s guess without seeing a sample. You need to slow down your shutter speed, and the way to do that is with ND filters (Polar Pro has a good set). Try going to You Tube and searching for ND filters with P3P, this has...

    Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.5.0030

    I would guess that "P3X" is for Pro & Advanced, and "P3S" is for the Standard.
