    4K disappeared off website.

    I hope with the phantom 4 they don't release 4 models. It takes up more retailer floor space, and they find it confusing(look at the Pro/4K price mistakes) and consumers find it confusing. DJI compete with them selves, and it has to increase the per unit costs when you produce 4 models. I'd...

    P3 standard motor breaking % -

    I've left it to factory defaults(100%) on my standard, and I've developed a stress crack at the rear motor. I thought the standard had the reinforced shell....I'll be turning mine down to 50 or 75 going forward 100% is more aggressive than it needs to be much for aggressive than I fly. Makes...

    Flying in mountain & in minus

    Just store it in a warm place until your ready to fly and you know it will be roughly the same temp as where it was stored.. You can use IR thermometer if you really want to, they cost <$15. Gloves are important, I use a stylus for touch screen so I don't have to compromise warmth or...

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    Chalk it up as more user error on my part ;). Thank you for being so willing to help, I've learned alot. I know if I have another erratic flight I'll pull the .DAT files from the bird in a timely manner. I would have been curious as well it does sound like a similar flight. I've been nervous...

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    I'm not getting something I see 19 .DAT files, FLY077 to FLY095 many of them 200+ mb it's only a 4gb storage how do they not get overwritten? It was one of the longer runs I've had so I'll upload the largest file and go from there but I think it would have been FLY < 077.DAT which I don't see.

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    Looks like I messed up, and have overwritten the .dat file from that flight, the most recent one I see is from the 10th, this flight was on the 6th. I'm assuming newer flight data overwrites older files?

    Thanks for the help Bud, I'll do that later today, got everything packed up for a morning flight in a bit.

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    Sure thing, like I said I'm a bit of a novice, when I look I see a .txt, which I've uploaded to healthy drones and linked to in OP. I also see a .info and a .csv but I didn't see a .DAT file. Would it be in a file on my device, or is this the raw data in the birds internal card?

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    Good post! I flew for 6 minutes in the wind no issue before the orientation started reporting reversed. I can't say if the GPS mode was battling me or it was simply wind but RTH seemed to head in the wrong direction or was just completely over powered by the wind. It wasn't the best most...

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    I don't think I ever put people in danger, there are few houses out there. The weather report was 20 MPH wind with gusts, it wasn't until reading the flight log that I found out just how strong the winds were(off ground level). Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I want to fly around Wolf Creek one of these weekends if weather is nice enough. Maybe around holter lake too. Let me know if you'd be interested in meeting up.

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    That makes sense in GPS mode with winds at or over it's ability to counter, and looking closer at the log and wind direction(those logs are cool!) that really seems to be the case. Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond, I'm still not sure why the orientation went but every other issue...

    Hi I know this is an old post but I'm in Great Falls, and fly a P3S. Originally from Kalispell but lived here for a year or so. I've been flying along the Missouri river and in the fields north of town.

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    Thank you I'll remember that. I was thinking RTH only worked in GPS mode I need to familiarize myself with how the fail safe works. GPS recorded, but the orientation was almost 180 degrees reversed. It was windy but before I did that 360 and orientation got reversed it was stable and...

    What Happened? Erratic Unresponsive Flight, Orientation off(video and logs)

    I almost had a fly away. The bird was under control, I was doing a 360 panning shot, and it switched itself to P-ATTI then back to GPS but continued to drift. I tried to pilot it back in but it was 90% unresponsive and continued to drift and reporting wrong orientation. RTH triggered it...
