I tried to read all the posts, but what is the status of the original P3 that started this post? After pulling the battery, can you reboot and see the P3 on the App? Did you try starting the motors? One post said one motor might be seizing, and I can understand a bad motor or motor bearing...

Looks to me like the two sample YouTube videos autoplay at different HD settings. Move them both to the 2K setting and to me they appear the same. YouTube may have rules depending on when, where and how you upload that impact play quality. I have used the Vimeo service and I like the HD...

Did you consider how the Follow Me has to work? I think the controller also has GPS inside it, so the P3 always knows the exact position of the controller. The number of satellites the controller could see would be limited by your windows and the position of the sats at the time you were...

I believe the software in the Phantom applies wind correction and holds position only when the sticks are in the neutral or un-touched position. Whenever you apply a stick input the GPS position holding corrections being applied for wind correction are stopped, and the aircraft will drift down...

Wow..... You are quite brave, very impressive.

My question is.... If anywhere on this drive his signal link broke due to say......huge power lines.....where does the P3 go next? The nearest cemetery? Funny if you got stopped for inattentive driving and while you are getting your ticket, the P3 lands on the roof of your car!!!

The Line Of Sight image (LOS) has nothing to do with the POI flight path success. The P3 autopilot computer is flying a perfect circle at the exact radius, altitude and speed you set, and the camera keeps panning and stays pointed at the POI you set first. If the POI gets visually blocked for...

I tried a few POI tests, and the flying was great. I forgot to push record video on a couple, so if you set up a POI, don't forget to push record when you want to start recording. The P3 will go around and around as long as you want. I set the speed of rotation higher, at about 15mph, and we...

I have 2 Phantoms P3 models and one had older controller SW that would not update and would not work. I read a few places and figured out I had not updated to the 1.3.2 controller update, which is still offered on DJI site. After that update, all controller updates are done via the GO APP, not...

You have some fantastic photos, I am very impressed. What is the file size of those at max resolution? Where would you get something like that printed so you could frame it on your wall? Stan

I downloaded the latest user manual for the P3P and wanted to see what changes were in the Go App. I was more than a little surprised the manual still shows the old, no longer usable, Pilot App. DJI is getting to be a very large and successful company. I can't believe they don't have a manual...

Boludo, I am still impressed, but you have to realize I live in Kansas!! You photos are still something I would put on my wall. Good job, keep practicing. Of course I am also impressed you put your Phantom out over the water at night. Thanks for the post.

Show us some stills if you have them. I love the night shots from the Phantom. DJI took an extra long time to release this firmware, especially given the frustrations from the prior update, but it seems to me they did a lot of testing and fixing before they sent us another bad release...

I watched, and reports were good, so I did the whole update on my P3P. All updates went smooth, but I had a hard time figuring out when the Phantom update was over? I left if for an hour, but i was probably finished much sooner. I recommend they change the light colors when the update is...
