    Question about a DJI Dealer...

    Thanks! I was excited as they were advertising their batteries were in stock so I placed an order as I am currently flying my Pro 3 with only one and it's been a challenge on many jobs.

    Question about a DJI Dealer...

    Really don't want to discredit or create bad business for DRONEDEPOT.com but I am curious if they are legit? Last week I put in my first order with them and it still has not been shipped. Funds are gone, no reply to voicemail, no reply to phone calls and their e-mail does not work? Anyone...

    I've been challenged

    @acherman I think I solved the mystery - my VHF also transmits GPS location - part of a DSC feature for serious emergencies. That could be the culprit. Also, after seeing your video I am also impressed with your ability to film and fly. Great work!

    I've been challenged

    Interesting & great pic @acherman ! So I have the opposite experience with my Phantom 3 pro. The other day I was trying to overcome a common problem that I have out here and that is local air traffic float planes and small tourism planes that barely graze the tops of our rainforest and often fly...

    Whats wrong with this picture?

    Enable the histogram and do a little reading and learn to use it. Great tool when shooting with DSLR and equally as beneficial when shooting with the phantom. You could try the overexposure warning but I found it distracting as it just created many lines across the entire screen when...

    Landing gear mod for p3

    I also question the benefits. At first I got excited as I thought the legs retracted could be used like prop guards - but it doesn't look like that at all. So not really sure why you would want to do this. But pretty neat mod either way.

    Gimbal tilt stopped working & remote broke 13th flight...

    Thanks @bbfpv & @Buckaye I tried the compressed air, but will most likely have to find a repair shop. Not easy where I live :-) Cheers !

    Gimbal tilt stopped working & remote broke 13th flight...

    Rough 2 days for the Phantom 3 - First a landing not a crash in a sandy area kicked up more sand then expected and got the motors seized - after taking it apart and cleaning (not a fun task) it flew fine but now the gimbal stopped working. No sand that I can see in the mechanism through a...

    Glare Issues on iPhone & iPad Screens-Looking for Ideas

    My solution has been to use the Rogue Flashbender as I had one in my lighting kit - it fits perfect on the controller and covers most of the remote and iPad/iPhone. Only minus I can think of are that there is no side shields, however it's wide enough that it doesn't need these, and you can bend...

    Phantom 3 Motor Assembly - Cleaning Help

    Hello everyone! Wicked forum! I am new to the forum and have looked hard without any success on instructions to take apart the phantom 3 motors. They seem different then the ones I see on videos with the older Phantoms. Thus far, I have managed to take off the cover (carefully and with much...
