    Almost Crashed My DJI Phantom 3 Standard

    So I was flying on a really windy day, and I took off from the top of a hill (I know, very bad idea) and it suddenly started flying left, into a patch of trees. I managed to gain control again and landed as soon as possible. I learned my lesson not to fly on a windy day.

    Hello Drone Community

    Just bought a Phantom 3 last Saturday and have flown it about five times now. Found this forum and I am looking forward to learning how to fly and exploit all the features of my AC. I hail from Georgia, 63 years old, retired, and kinda a gadget guy, but totally in over my head right now.

    P3S Weak Controller Signal After Crash

    Hi all, I've had my P3S since they were first released and its been a really good drone. Unfortunately, I had my first crash last week and it was a pretty bad one. I was trying to get the perfect shot on a job site and got too close to a tree. The drone clipped a branch and fell probably 25 feet...

    Hey flyers. So I took one of my phantom 3 standards out today and I noticed as I was flying away from me in the forward position it started drifting down towards the ground. I tried it once at 50’ height and once at 100’ high. Both times it slowly drifted to the ground. I did notice on the...

    Power line encounter

    Just want to show everyone how easy it is to fly into power lines, or almost fly into them. The sun was very bright, so I was using a filter on the camera. Not sure if it was the sun, the filter, or where I was standing, but I did not see the lower power lines. I was clear of the higher ones. I...
