I'm a newbie here.Thank you
Whoa Nellie-- Have you read and studied the Phantom Manual?? You will need to know and understand a lot more than calibration to keep the P3 flying although the controls, and GPS make it is very easy to fly.I'm a newbie here.
When I turn my P3P on it says "Safe to fly GPS".
Do I still need to calibrate and if so where do I find the calibrate button?
Thanks in advance
Phill
Yep read the manual but had to fly it before I understood a lot of it.Whoa Nellie-- Have you read and studied the Phantom Manual?? You will need to know and understand a lot more than calibration to keep the P3 flying although the controls, and GPS make it is very easy to fly.
After you have read the manual and understand all the controls, jump back in here and start asking questions. ( Preferably before you take off.) Welcome to the P3 Forum
Yep read the manual but had to fly it before I understood a lot of it.
The manual and vids say to calibrate before each flight but I can't find where to.
Does it need calibration before each flight?
I've been in Beginner Mode and the distance and height limits have been working as they should.
GPS is working but I haven't tried RTH.
This isn't my first RC but it is my first drone
BTW There was no manual in the box - I had to download it
Thanks mateYou don't need to do a compass calibration before each flight. If you have a good one, don't even consider it unless you are traveling to a different geographical location over 100 miles away and then you may not even need it them.. Check the compass Mod Values-- should be around 1500-- before you fly.
If you don't know where to find those, Search compass mod values on the forum and there will be posts to take you to the answers.
Set up and try RTH close in -- more than 30 meters in distance, just so you know how it works. Note, that you do have to set the Fail Safe altitudes and the RTH mode-- Land or RTH.. If you set it to land, it is going to land when you activate the RTH.
Yes, there are no manuals in the box-- and that is good-- forces us to do a little searching and saves DJI tons in printing costs for manuals that no one reads before charging the batteries, taking it up, and crashing the first flight. We are all much like our own children, it doesn't need directions.
Now you have just learned a small tidbit of information about the P3 with your first questions. Spend some time reading on this forum, because most of the posts are problems and issues that folks face in flying the P3's.. You wont be an expert anytime soon, but you can have fun learning, as well as some frustrations. Cheers
Anytime--Thanks mate
After paying $2300 AUD for it I'm being careful
Read the manual before going anywhere near the charger which is VERY unusual for me.
I run 1/5th scale RC cars and am in a forum there for the same reasons.
If everyone shares their knowledge life becomes easier.
No doubt I'll be back looking for more answers in the near future
Thanks for the help
Phill ... the manual is very sketchy on the compass.I'm a newbie here.
When I turn my P3P on it says "Safe to fly GPS".
Do I still need to calibrate and if so where do I find the calibrate button?
If you are asking about flying close to a lot of steel ...... maybe.Is there any sugestion if I want to flying my phantom 3 at the full of plate aerial, like shipbuilding industry or shipyard???
