Incredible footage bud! Thanks for the share!!!

You must not have a Spark then... 'cause they did have an update in 2017 that would ground you if you didn't apply it before a certain time (September l, if memory serves). Atleast that's the warning i got when I unboxed mine. :-)

To keep from trashing up the thread, i won't quote the previous post in reference here... That's hardly a fair comparison. Had your company shipped those motherboards WITHOUT flashing them to be win2k compliant, requiring the end consumer to do so on their own before they could even turn on...

Funny I've yet to see ANY manufacturers blocked from selling their particular drones, atleast here in the states (which thrives on restrictions in every aspect of our lives). After flying several different UAV's from various companies, I was actually surprised when I bought into dji and...

I'm having the exact same issue, with 2 of my 3 P3S batts... the first to show this message was the original battery which came with the drone. Then I noticed it on one of my two aftermarkets (amazon sourced btw, the second one gives the "all ok" message as it should). All 3 batteries were...

I had to drive 120 miles round trip to get my P3S last year after my local store sold me an open box, activated and used one at full price, then $499 (it had video on the sd card even). The store I ended up getting one from only had two in stock, and weren't sure of restocks even at that point...

Wow, what an impact crater. Either that's really crappy wall (yo, T man, here's a design for ya) or your phantom was doing about 50 mph... or you got after the wall with a chipping hammer. That outline is suspect to me, just a little too perfect.

I love to fly too... typically I'm on the sticks atleast 3 to 5 times a week. If you prefer restaraunt fish, I feel for ya... obviously you've never eaten fresh caught rainbow trout, crappie, or even bass. Try soaking fresh fillets in salt water over night sometime... takes all the funky out of...

Yup, its amazing how fast batts go from 30% to 15 or 10... certainly much faster than from 50 to 30! I prefer to use a $20 dollar rig called a "rod and reel" instead of a $500+ drone for fishing... but I can accurately cast. While I hate to say it, I can't help but laugh everytime I read about...

They desperately NEED competition. They've been resting on their (not there, or they're, Aghs!) laurels for far too long imho... blaming their faulty firmware upgrades on user errors, crashes, etc. They've done everything possible to avoid actual blame on their part when a perfectly functioning...

Paint is fine, as long as you spray evenly (light coats). I used krylon fusion to paint 2 red, and 2 green. I run 1 of each on the front of my P3S to mark right and left. No issues so far, after about 5 total flight hours. I also scraped down the edges to reveal a white line across the front...

Kewl, so if I'm in the middle of nowhere, its fine to drive my viper at 200mph?! Hrm, sure, until I run into a cop, then my car becomes property of the state, and my arse suddenly is sitting behind bars. Jeeez. Yeah, he's taking part 107, and should know the rules, but doesn't appear to give a...

"I bought a dead mule from a friend once... he said it didn't kick, and was no problem to feed." [Col Potter, M*A*S*H] Sorry, I just couldn't hep mai'sef. At this point in my experience with DJI, I'm leary about buying their products NEW, muchless used. I own a P3S and Spark, and the Spark is...

Sounds like at minimum you probably need a new camera harness. Don't ever us CA glue near electrical connections... it off gasses and forms a white haze that WILL coat everything its close to. Note in all the CSI type shows they use it to develop fingerprints by heating it in a closed container...

Every possible fix I know of has been covered repeatedly... except the old sayings, "you get what you pay for", and "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". In my experience with DJI so far, the hardware is pretty decent overall, its the soft and firmware that is flaky at best...
