hello,

So I am brand new to the DJI Phantom world. I have a Phantom 3 Advanced. I wanted to retrieve some pictures off the Sd card onto my phone so I put the phantom on my table and turned it on and went through the process. Whenever I turn the aircraft on inside I take the props off to be safe.

Well, stupidly, when I loaded up the camera view I was playing with the control sticks and I stupidly put them in the takeoff position and the engines started up. Even if the props were on it wouldn't go anywhere cause they were just idling and I immidtly did the command to shut them off again.

End of the day, I'm really worried cause I heard that it's bad to turn the engines on without the props on, will my phantom be ok? Will I need to do any repairs? They were only on for a second but I'm still scared.

Don't worry no damage had been done. It isn't going to hurt your motors
