    sexiest photos you have taken with P3S.

    Nice shots. Can I ask where you took off from for that close shot?

    Litchi almost killed my P3!! (Waypoints is dangerous)

    That is absolutely amazing! Beautiful video! The bird flew that route on it's own with no connection to the controller or video feed?

    New member and P3Standard or P3 4k?

    You need one registration and put the sticker on both with your registration number.

    New member and P3Standard or P3 4k?

    It looks like the P3 4K has the new style controller with more control for the camera and a better holder for your device. An ipad will fit whereas you are limite to a phone sized device on the standard with that small clip that comes with it. I read somewhere that it has about 20% more range...

    Phantom 3 carbon fiber shell

    Sounds like a great idea although a better designed plastic one with more reinforcement at the arms and motor mounts might serve the purpose and be less costly. I wish I had the resources to do so, I would produce this one myself.

    Unstable

    Mine was very steady until the upgrade. When I finished the update, I took it outside and tested it. It was drifting very bad. I let it cool and did an IMU calibration and then compass calibration, it was back to normal. Some have said they did not need to but it sure made a difference in mine.

    Controller Version

    I updated the P3P just fine. The controller doesn't seem to take the update. The bin file doesn't seem to get read from the USB stick (same one I used last time). When I look at the about screen on the app it says I have 1.3.20+ on the controller. Also, the app shows that I have the latest...

    Phantom 3 Crack Repairs

    I'm not an engineer but the UAV Bits strong arm plates look like the best prevention as they spread the pressure from the screws across a wide area instead of in the weak screw recesses. They are a tad pricey at about $25 per set but they are less than a shell. Tommy

    Anyone using the Strong Arm kit from UAVBITS for stress cracks?

    Interesting tip on the elmers glue. I will try that on mine.

    New stress crack location

    I have those too on both sides near the battery. They have been there since the first day I had mine. They are seams where the plastic is put together (a very poor fit at that). The original poster has a crack that extends into the upper shell. This one appears to be somewhat normal from how...

    Crashed my P3P

    I had the same after my crash. I unplugged the cables and reseated them and it went away.

    Crashed my P3P

    This is what the repaired cable looks like.

    Converting RAW photos

    They are an odd DNG format. I had to download the Adobe DNG converter and pick an old format so my Mac would open them. I think you can convert them to JPG too but you will not get the benefit of the raw files you mentioned.

    Crashed my P3P

    I just repaired mine with almost exactly the same broken bits. I replaced that plate, it was $9 and I fixed the cable. The wires plug right into the end firmly with a pair of needle nose pliers one at a time. Some carefully placed adhesive with a toothpick and i'm back in the air. I ordered a...
