Hi All. I'm selling my excellent condition P3A. Couple of notes: Never crashed Airdata has it around 30 flights, probably a few i didn't sync, probably safe to say under 40 Running an old firmware (it was stable and I started flying with other things, so never bothered) I can update before...

I wasn't able to fix my issue. I exchanged my unit with Amazon within my 30 days. I'll say the "new" unit (which was actually older and I think a refurb) was somewhat better and my altitude drops were not as extreme, but they still occur. Seems like they all have some issues, but certain...

Thanks @QBurris for the reply. I exchanged P3As at the store due to warranty issues, and the "new" one is at 1.3.20. It flies great, so I'm hesitant to change anything, but 1.3.2 doesn't have the 2.7k video, or the newer flight modes (POI, Follow Me, etc...) so I would like to upgrade. Forum...

No real changes for the beach for me. It can be windy, so make sure it is not too windy, but the p3 does fine at 25 MPH in my experience. You do need to pay attention to wind direction, because it will take a lot longer going into the wind than with it, so plan accordingly for battery life...

Ughhh. This morning I was flying at the beach and just when i was coming in as the battery was getting low, I see Dolphins. I come in, run back to the car grab another battery and get back up in the air. For whatever reason, the app (but not the controller) was disconnecting from the drone...

You have to send the link for the individual flight, otherwise we are looking at our own stuff :) If you click on the share button (the green one with the white almost-triangle thingy in the upper right) you can create a shareable link.

Also, if it is only 5 days old, your best bet may be to exchange it at the place of purchase for a different one if possible.

You can try to downgrade the firmware to 1.8.80 to see if there is any change, but at this point, you can probably open up a case with DJI it send it in for repair. I don't get the distance others get here (but I'm not in a super rural area), but get much better than that.

Those are the latest for each. While I think for some of the older firmwares, they did match, they don't necessarily match and don't need to.

I just took my "A" in an area where I flew my "B" a few times to see if I would lose signal in the same places. This isn't a good place to do a distance run, as there are lots of trees between me and the unit. I fly above tree level, but I'm sure some of the signal is blocked. It seems like...

There are 2 log files, a .DAT file you get off the bird itself (connect to a PC and use the app to go into PC transfer mode) and a .txt file on your tablet/phone. There are a handful of utilities to help read the .txt file, depending upon what firmware you had. The easiest is to create a...

Thanks for your post, was curious as to which you kept. I'm in the same boat. I just took a quick flight around the backyard and didn't notice much difference between the two, although that is really good way to tell. I actually think my original (newer) model might have hovered a little...

Just wanted to post that I had the same experience as the OP, crazyrider. My initial P3A from Amazon was a W322B/GL300C, with 1.5.30+ firmware out of the box. My replacement was a W322A/GL300b with 1.3.20 firmware out of the box. It seems Amazon has some older stock for replacements or...

Bumping this up, to see if the consensus is that they will all have altitude problems due to weather? My P3A loses altitude pretty regularly. I had it with the original firmware, and upgraded firmware (hate the authorized to fly checkboxes on the new firmware). I've calibrated Compass, IMU, and...

If you read the manuals, watched videos and obviously checked out the forums, there isn't too much to worry about to start. Begginer mode will keep you close in, so find an open space with little to hit, and see what happens. I used simulator mode for a few minutes to confirm sticks worked...
