Found this really good deal on an internet face to face transaction. It was listed (Phantom 3 Standard) for a price that is too good to be true. Meet with the guy but was unable to make a full test since the battery was drained where it won’t even power up. Listed as almost new with all the manuals, box it came with, stickers, brand new 2 sets of dji propellers. It looks as described so I went ahead with the transaction. Went home and charge up the battery. Halfway charged and should be good enough just to test it! I was on a garage basement but with Internet connection, btw. Inserted the battery and powered it on. Powered up and camera adjusted itself. Great! Pressed the sticks downwards/inwards. Nothing! No movement from the motor! Took it outside and and tried again. Still nothing. Btw, the drone came with prop guards already attached and I have heard a lot of horror stories re: removing and screwing back with the same long screws and frying all the motors. I left it unattended since I have to leave for the weekend to Palm Springs. The whole weekend, all I did was read and watch for possible causes. Fly my Mavic pro to ease my mind once in a while. Came back today and took it outside in an open wide area. Let it warm up. And something that I forgot to do, calibrate the compass manually. Yellow turned green. Flashing green. Pulled down the sticks and what do you know, started right away. Flew her until the battery started beeping. So happy but my confusion is, why didn’t it start before? Although the color was yellow and not green, would it have started anyway?
Anyway, I think 180.00 usd is a sweet deal for an almost new p3, won’t you agree?
I hope you guys had a great weekend.
