    P3P video signal issue at startup?

    Guys, I have a issue I would like to run by you all. As of late (really has been an issue since day 1) when I start my P3P up about 75% of the time I do not get a video signal and no gimbal control on my RC. I have had my P3P for about a month now and have over 50 flights on her. Whether...

    Small white quad??

    Guys need some quick help here...........What's the name of the small white quad that looks like the phantom (but smaller)? It seems like several of you own it and say it's fun to fly, learn, on and that it's economical. I think it cost about $100? I have seen several of you post pics of it...

    Gimble drop pins....2 or 4?

    Quick question here.....I just got a new P3P and have flown in 5 times today with much success. Although I just noticed that the gimble only has 2 drop pins (mounted diagonally across from each other) connecting it to the quad. Does it normally come factory like this or have I somehow lost 2? Is...

    Flying above power lines and the compass - what's safe?

    The bigger hazard is going phase to ground or cross phasing........as your bird might go up in a fireball and you might be on the hook for a major power grid outage. It wouldn't be the bird you would be concerned about at that point..... rather the legal storm afterwards. Be safe and never ever...

    Flying above power lines and the compass - what's safe?

    As far as electrical fields around distribution and transmission lines, most UAS platforms surprisingly don't have many issues with their digital compasses when flying autonomously (that I am aware of). Our company has been doing it for a while now. This does not mean you should fly anywhere...

    Add FLIR to your drone for Christmas!

    Thanks Zerone! Glad to see its possible on the P3P. I think I will go ahead and get one and integrate it with FLIR a few months down the road after I get a few flights under my belt. Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

    Add FLIR to your drone for Christmas!

    Do any of you guys know if anyone has come up with a way to integrate the FLIR vue with a P3P? I am wanting to use one for wildlife surveys at night on my ranch. Would also like to use it during the day for survey/mapping work using the stock Sony camera that comes with the P3P. That said it...
