    [00040789][08 00][00] device not detected issue

    As I stated in my earlier reply: I've bought an Inspire 1 since as the P3P just proved too unreliable.

    Where to find good music for videos

    I use: Free Music Archive Vimeo used to have a free music section as well, but it shut on the 1st of November annoyingly - thankfully the main contributors seem to be spread over most the sites.

    Ocean Vanguard Oil Platform

    Hello folks, Here is a short video I shot this morning in the Cromarty Firth, Scotland. The firth is predominantly used by drilling companies to "stack" their platforms when requiring maintenance or just when out of contract. My first flight out over water and my second time using the FPV Fat...

    P3Pro, Frozen Black Isle, Scotland

    Just getting into drones the past six months, this is the second outing where I've used the Phantom 3 Pro with Fat Shark HD goggles. Was in freezing conditions so was interested to see what the flight times were like. went through four batteries in an hour but all worked well. Anyway, this is a...

    P3Pro - Hiking With Drone - Backpack Choice?

    Hello guys. I live in the Scottish Highlands and I'd like to take my newly acquired P3Pro drone out with me hiking - can people recommend a backpack (or other) that is a balance of protection and weight? I have a B&W 6700 storage travel case for the unit at home, or when I can drive to a...

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    Pro camera came today (bought it for £220 off someone on eBay 2nd hand) so just plugged it in half an hour ago - all problems resolved. Now if I'm adjusting settings I'm just going to keep it in front of the fan. Drone and controller firmware both updated without issue once the camera was...

    [00040789][08 00][00] device not detected issue

    I've learned the hard way that, if your inside updating software or just adjusting settings, sit with a fan pointing in the direction of the unit (or do is somewhere cooler). Some have suggested CPU cooling compound to replace the stock DJI "pads" that are supposed to transmit the heat into the...

    Just had the same thing happen to mine. £300 for a new 4k Pro camera/gimbal. Poor DJI design I guess.

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    I managed to source a replacement professional camera which should be here this week. My questions: 1)Not sure what state the drones firmware is now in with my buggering about - is there a safe way to make sure I install the latest version? 2)Other than putting a fan in front of the drone and...

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    Guys, just to clarify, is it as simple as buying a new gimbal camera arrangement and "plugging it in"? Just reading some more threads and people talk about the video module in the drone itself?

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    Just to add, I miss-read the price on DJI's site - it's £299 for the 4K Pro gimbal/camera package. :(

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    Thanks for the info gents, DJI sell the 4K camera for £259 at the minute. I've messaged a few folks I found on google to see if anyone has a spare. Other than not having the unit on for a prolonged time, is there any mods (cooling?) that can be done to help?

    New P3P - No Signal & Firmware Problems (Resolved)

    Hello everyone, Had a search through the various threads but didn't find a concise answer so I'm hoping solutions have maybe evolved since some of the last posts I read. The drone has never been flown but I've used it numerous times indoors just with the rotors removed. Drone Phantom 3...
