    Need Your Help Please: P3A Goes crazy and crashes into creek. Now What? Flight Records Included

    Hey Guys! I would really love a little guidance on what my next steps should be after this crash. In a nutshell: I was flying along side a creek with no issues and out of the blue the phantom starts spinning wildly, as if it ran into something, and plummeted about 150ft into a very narrow...

    Water crash battery led always on...

    Hi there, I'm in vacation in the Maldives and on a mobile, sorry for typos etc. Yes stupid me, after a year with a cheap drone to learn to fly, and many safe flights with the P3 advanced I was slow reacting during a windy day, where I shouldn't fly but I was confident and instead I did (stupid...

    Tuna Seine Boats, Rocky Point, Mexico

    I'm visiting Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Had a great opportunity to practice my flying skills in about 12mph winds and 3/4 mile off-shore (P3P). Sadly, had some new issues with the horizon being crooked, but cropped those parts out:

    First flights over waterfall

    I have seen similar posts about first flights, decided to post my own. Was nervous because the bottom of the dam was below the home point and the canyon is full of low hanging branches. All said and done, it made me a more deliberate, conscientious pilot.

    Concentrate!

    I was doing some high speed action shots at my local canoe club this weekend. I did a sharp turn to follow a group of kayaks as they passed me, but I inadvertently also pulled down on the stick....... Look closely at the bottom of the frame after they have gone past. Close call but I think it...

    Miss Geico r/c boat chased with a Phantom 3

    This is my first attempt at getting footage of the r/c Miss Geico boat. This was difficult because the camera on the Phantom 3 is a wide angle lens so to get decent shots it was necessary to operate close to the water surface and at high speed.

    Cockiness leads to toasting your drone :(

    So I've had my P3A since about a month after they were released and had a Parrot Bebop drone before that. I have always been astounded at how much better the quality is with the P3. I had recently been getting some weird error messages stating it was warming up so after making sure my firmware...

    Palau

    Just back from a dive trip to Palau where I also brought along my P3. Palau has some amazing scenery and it's a great place to fly. Here are a couple of shots. This is a 70 image panorama stitched together in Photoshop of a place called Milky Way. The water is this color because of the...

    Lake House - first Phantom video

    I wanted to test out the follow me feature. Also did some manual flying which was pretty tough with all of the different orientations of the jetski and drone. The computer I used to use for videos is way outdated so I ended up just making this on my phone. Don't expect super stunning footage...
