    Rebuild Advice - P3P

    Welp... After a hundred or so flights with the P3P I made a mistake today. Thought my height was, well, higher than it was when watching the map view on a slow flyover trying to get a specific shot. 110% my fault, but since I've not crashed and had to rebuild any of my prior craft I'm curious...

    100 flights, 3 firmware updates and no accidents!

    100% agreed. Total d-bag post, almost as if to say "you owe me, I've crashed a lot of DJI quads...". Regardless, congrats! I've only had to deal with DJI because of a shipping issue (which wasn't any fun / or made me feel any better about the company from a support perspective) but I've got...

    Jello Removal Tips

    Speedy Prop Balancer has CW and CCW threaded ends, works very well IMO. I flew after the balancing and the minor jello I had observed seemed to have gone away. Of the four that I was flying with one was off significantly (blade tipped vertically on the balancer) and the others were off...

    Jello Removal Tips

    I recently ordered the "Speedy Prop Balancer" from Amazon and went through all 16 props I have for the P3. All of them were off to a considerable degree, none were "balanced" perfectly out of the box. Instead of removing material from the blade I used thin strips of packing tape on the...

    Coptershop.com Awesome Service

    I've now ordered 3 batteries from them, first set (of 2) got in 2 days, with no expedited shipping. Very responsive to email. Second order, got it in 3 days (again, no expedited shipping) with the one battery and some props. They're really fast and support has been very responsive...

    Buying new tablet, what works the best?

    @Kman does a lot of fuzzy math around these parts. ;) First of all it states right in the video comments: "Currently out of 8 devices I have tried the Shield is the one to get. Only Cons I see is the size and reflectiveness of the screen." Then let's do a trip to Amazon, and compare new...

    Nexus 7 II not working

    I don't agree with this. I've tried a number of ROMs and CleanRom 6.0 (Android 5.1.1 base) has been rock solid for me, no overclocking and no 3rd party kernels. Not sure how people are "measuring" latency, but with this setup on a clean install (no dirty upgrades) has proven very reliable. No...

    16 minutes flight time..

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. Do the refrigerator IMU calibration. Previously I had been waiting 2-3 minutes warm up time. Now - insta-flight. I seem to have averaged around 19 minutes, but then again I'm not hard on the throttle usually going for max distance. Shortest was about 15...

    2.689 miles (14198.1 ft) and no RTH - Flight Record

    Wondering what the difference between the non-advanced setup would be. I don't mind the cost difference, but people are clearing 10k feet on stock all the time. Just another thing to have to worry about for each flight (amp battery). @Lew40 is it easy to take off for storage in a case...

    P3 Has the shakes

    I sent mine back to DJI and got a refund and then bought from a dealer after my experience. Took DJI over two weeks to refund my money AFTER they had the bird back and about 50 emails to them and a few phone calls. They suck at support - full stop.

    Phatom 3 Batteries Available and Shipping

    I ordered from CopterShop on Wed and got them today. Had been waiting on a preorder from another vendor for weeks... DJI distribution seems to be hit and miss. Have all my batteries now though so I'm happy.

    Phantom 3 Spare Parts Pricing - Battery, Backpack, Cameras, Chargers, Props

    I tried calling a couple weeks or so ago as well (the number on the website) and left a V/M. Didn't get a response for about 4 days, then I got an odd V/M from someone at Advexure saying I called a number that wasn't published. I think they have something messed up with their DID numbers going...

    P2V+ (v3) w/lots of Extras - Minneapolis, MN

    I threw this up on CL the other night, but thought I'd post it here as well. Great deal if someone is looking to get into a P2V+ on the cheap. 3 x batteries, hard case, original packaging, an uninstalled Flytrex 3G ready to go and more for $850...

    Looks like CopterShop has the batteries in stock. I just ordered 2 x via Amazon and sent them a message to validate they have them shipping this week. http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Intelligent-Flight-Battery/dp/B00YCZ6L5W/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2PNU40NH0EXM7...
