    *UPDATE* "GPS Unconnected" P3S

    *UPDATE* Took me a while but I got a new GPS unit, installed it, and BOOM, works with zero problems. Pretty amazing considering it crashed, rolled down a hill ~30 feet and then fell into a river. Lots of lessons learned for a $20 GPS unit. On a side note the casing is a gigantic pain in the...

    *UPDATE* "GPS Unconnected" P3S

    Well, I had my first crash after 10 hours of flying, 100% caused by my own stupidity (many lessons learned). Anyway the drone ended up in water for about 1 minute, maybe less. I let it dry out for 2 days outside in the sun and then fired it back up. It asked me to re-update the firmware which...

    Yep, no issue at all. I flew southwest with a drone around Christmas time without any issues

    Sunset Settings?

    So I am very new when it comes to photography and video recording. I have a P3S and was wondering if anyone had any settings that worked for videoing sunsets. I currently have everything on automatic and the sunset is either completely white or the ground is completely dark. I attached an...

    Lost Signal, P3S Hovered Instead of RTH

    Yep, its set correctly, I'll just assume it was only a loss of phone connection and the RC still had full connection so the drone doesn't RTH. Does anyone know how the drone acts if you just close the app while in flight?

    Lost Signal, P3S Hovered Instead of RTH

    Yeah I had both my switches up as well. I mean hitting the S2 switch back and forth several times to initiate RTH. The flight log on my phone doesn't show 2 minutes of hover at all.

    Lost Signal, P3S Hovered Instead of RTH

    Hmmmm I was just thinking that while I was typing out my issue. I guess the only way to activate RTH would be with the S2 switch then. I was freaking out too much to think about it then. So if in the middle of flying your phone crashes, the drone wont RTH unless you use the S2 switch right?

    Lost Signal, P3S Hovered Instead of RTH

    I was flying in a park and about 350 feet up and 1200 feet away I suddenly lost 100% connection with the drone. The app just showed disconnected. After not reconnecting right away I decided I would wait for it to return to home. After about a minute and not hearing the drone get closer I...
