    Got it. Thank you. For future reference, is there a repair company that's recommendable?

    Can't Take Off - Stuck with IMU Initializing Error

    Well, I Heimliched the drone, but it's still locked up in that calibration mode... Any shop recomendations? Ok, well,,, How do you know when it's unstuck besides assembling it and trying it out? Is there something inside you can hear rattle?

    Can't Take Off - Stuck with IMU Initializing Error

    I've had that problem off and on over the years including today with no rhyme or reason. Very frustrating. If it doesn't clear up in an hour, I end up going home.

    eBay Shopping

    EBay is full of counterfeit crap that you have to wade through in order to find real components. It's strictly a buyer beware. One thing I have found over the years is if you use paypal, they are better at getting a counterfeit item reimbursed than just EBay alone.

    Got Remote ID?

    I went to renew my license for the P3P and found the "Remote ID" box is mandatory. The form will not allow me to go any further unless I put in a number. So, what's the fix? Add a sending unit separate of the drone, or is there a software update that gets this obligation filled? Thanks in advance,

    P3P free falls after red 'low (or critical) voltage' error message

    One of the weird things is that you can have a near full battery reading 80+% yet crash it due to low voltage. Once you dip around 3.2 volts the drone will no longer function. I've experimented flying just above grass when my almost full reading battery had a voltage dip that just turned if...

    P3P Max distance and altitude settings

    It's elevation based on your takeoff point, so if you're in a valley at 1,000' and wanting to film up a 3,000' rock face, you're out of luck.

    P3P Max distance and altitude settings

    If there were a reliable software adjustment to the P3P for altitude, I'd download it in a second. A lot of the areas I really enjoy flying are in the central Idaho area, and 500 meters there won't get you very far up the grade for pictures. I get why the limitations. If you're in flat country...

    Had to happen eventually..... P4P fell out of the sky, analysis might be helpful

    Having lost one for a couple of days, I get it. Finding that wreck HURTS! My sincere condolences for your loss!

    How to avoid loosing another drone....

    You take it wrong. The very patient people here walked me through reading the flight path and we found it! Read the whole thread to see how.

    Phantom 3 Standard Never Used For Sale

    EBay is an on line garage sale that takes place in a dark ally. The amount of counterfeit items out of China is staggering, and EBay has no intention of stopping it or slowing it down so long as they get their cut of the sale. It's the ultimate "Buyer Beware"!

    How to avoid loosing another drone....

    I flew it tonight and it operated very well. The only "item" slightly different is at a constant hover, it slowly looses elevation. X & Y are great, just a little droopy on the Z. I'll do some cleaning, order another set of new props and call it good! I'm still absolutely ecstatic everyone here...

    How to avoid loosing another drone....

    I'm thinking I'm going to send it off to the DJI Drone Service Center for getting checked out and repairs, unless you have a better source of repairs?
