tree

Yes... I flew Phantom 3 Advanced into tree and it came down into shallow (about 4 inches of water near shore) water where I grabbed it less than 3 seconds later. Anyway, now getting "ESC status error. Restart aircraft." Searching internet and this forum suggest ESC errors might come from bad...

Recently while filming a friends daughters wedding at the lake (on very short notice) I was videoing the ceremony using fpv goggles with a novice spotter who was there more to make sure I got the best video composition and not watching the location of the copter. While moving right with the...

I've been flying my drone for 3 years as a commercial photographer and never had anything but great flights and results. Last month I was flying a mission for a real estate shoot and my drone, my fault, was too close to a tree and the wind moved it and i was in the tree before I knew it. The...

Phantom 4. I should have waited until after the windstorm abated to inspect the damage to the roof of my garden shed. Notice there is bright sunlight. Look carefully and you will see white flecks in the video. Those are snowflakes. It wasn't the steady wind, it was the sudden, strong gusts that...

Dear All, To state the obvious, I am extremely frustrated with myself. First, I tried lassoing it with weights and a hook on the end of some rope. But it was too high. Then, I tried getting exercise bands and tried shooting potatoes near it. I tried fishing line attached to some bolts, and...

Had some sad moments today when an RTH was required after signal was lost and the headland and the soaring gum trees conspired to be way higher than the 30m height that it was set at for RTH. However, it all ended super well because of some good searching, some deduction of location from the...

Here is my first video project incorporating a drone, a refurb Phantom 3 Standard which my AMAZING wife bought me for Christmas. I have been studying drone piloting for 5 months, and practicing with a Propel Atom during that time. While I love aerial-only drone videos, I find I always want...

So a friend came over and wanted to see me fly my drone. I told him the battery was charging but it was probably enough to just hover around for a few minutes. Anyway that's what I did. I did not hear it say it was initiating RTS, possibly cause of the noise from the drone being so close. There...

Took the P3 Advance and a few planes for a fly last weekend to make the most of some nice weather in the uk. Friend was trying out his new FPV wing........ ended up in a few crashes and a late night tree top rescue.

I was flying a previously flown litchi waypoint mission and for some reason my p4 flew into a tree that it had previously flown over. My altitude was set to 30m and the trees i guess are around 25m. So i am wondering what went wrong, and how do i get my p4 back, given that i cant see it up in...

I was having a hard time seeing the screen, so I decided to land it and pack up. As I transitioned from looking at the screen to line of sight, I misjudged the guide slope with the top of the tree. I thought it was going to either be caught 30 feet up the tree or 3 feet deep in the swamp...

Thought I would share my mistake for all to enjoy. On Sunday, I was trying to do a low fly by over the tree tops in sport mode. I caught the top branch of an enormous tree. The drone was perfectly hung up 100 FT HIGH, and snow was coming that night.. Had to get a bucket lift to come...

First trip out with my new Phantom 3, a friend of a friend invited us to his Christmas Tree farm before they opened this morning, was fun to fly and video came out OK, first time I'm using 1080p (my new years resolution), I've always stuck to 720p till now, as I figured youtube would mangle it...
