My P3A had a piece of foam wedged somewhere on the gimbal that I didn't see right away and wasn't mentioned. When I powered it up for the first time I got a gimbal overload warning. I was pretty nervous after that, wasn't sure if I got a defective unit and once I discovered the piece of foam I...

That's good news!! It must be normal, I feel better now. After I started doing cold IMU calibrations it's usually warmed up by the time I get the app open so mine might start out yellow as well.:) Thanks a million for your reply!!

No need to apologize MrMcfly, I appreciate your reply. The next time you boot yours up would you check if yours flashes? If my memory serves me correctly mine always stayed solid. I did send DJI an email so I'll wait for their reply. It might be OK to fly but I don't want to roll the dice...

Thanks for the info!! Are you looking at the little green mode indicator right above the compass info? The box up on top that says Safe to fly GPS stays green, it's just the indicator that's flashing on mine.

Well I packed up my P3A and went way outside of the 5 mile airport radius and the mode indicator still flashes. I tried it with an android app and it still flashes so it seems that it has to do with the FW update. I also did the usual cold IMU calibration, gimbal and compass calibration. It...

OK, I reinstalled the app, that didn't do it so I rolled back the FW that didn't do it. Next I updated the FW to the current, again same thing. I am in a 5 mile radius of a small municipal airport, just wondering if they put that in there as a reminder. It's not geo-fenced because I can spin it...

OK, I'll give that a try. I'll keep you posted. This might take a bit, my internet is a bit slow. Thanks a million for your help!!

No, there's no messages. It flashes green and what's strange is that it flashes with the same frequency as the strobes on the P3, not always in sync but with the same frequency. I'm really not comfortable trying to fly it like this. The FW update said success but I might try rolling it back to...

When it's warmed up and home point is updated it reads safe to fly(GPS) overall status normal and the indicator on the left next to where it says P-Atti or P-GPS flashes rather than staying solid. I thought it always stayed solid as yours does. I haven't flown it like this as the weather has...

Oops, sorry guys, forgot to mention I'm running IOS app.

Hello all and a belated Merry Christmas!! In the aircraft state startup window has the mode indicator next to where it says P-Atti or P-GPS always flashed? I thought it was always solid and didn't flash. I'm unsure if I'm just not remembering correctly or if this has changed with the latest...

My P3A says 1.6.40

I had this happen yesterday at 68%, it wasn't a critical warning but a low battery warning and it did switch to RTH. I found out in my case that this is what it's supposed to do. I was out 13,600 feet. I'm probably full off beans but my thinking is that it's part of the smart home feature and it...

Sorry for the false info, the app tutorial also says vision positioning status for that icon.

jtm, that icon is the vision positioning status, I'm not sure how that is calculated. I only fly outdoors so I have that turned off.
