Hi All. I found this link on YouTube explaining exactly where the serial number is located for Phantom 4, Phantom 3 Standard, Phantom 3 Advanced, Phantom 3 Professional, & Inspire:

Hi All, During a preflight check yesterday evening I discovered a stress crack near one of the motor screws. Unfortunately for me my P3A is out of warranty. From a previous minor incident, a seam on the shell is not perfect. So, I'll need the entire shell replaced (top & bottom). I've been...

Hi All, Below is the official response I received this morning directly from DJI support. Their English / spelling isn't perfect, but it appears there is no difference in the two part numbers for the batteries. The different part numbers are due to the new shipping regulations. = = = = = =...

Hi All, What is the difference between DJI intelligent battery part # 12 vs part # 133? Any pro's or con's to either of those part numbers?

Having gotten skunked the other day at my local Target & Best Buy store, I decided to try other nearby Target stores in my area today. I was successful at getting the store manager's to price match at 4 of 6 stores. A few things I learned from this experience: 1. Target will only price match...

Hi All, I live in Reynoldsburg, OH. This morning I attempted to see if our local Target and Best Buy would price match Game Stop. Unfortunately both said no. Best Buy said they wouldn't match the price due to Game Stop did not have the item in stock online. Target flat out said they don't...

Hi All, Is there any way to determine how much life a P3A battery has left? I don't mean how much of the current charge is left. I though I read somewhere there was a stat on the DJI Go app that listed this information but I can't find it.

Thanks to all for the updates on only needing two anti-drop pins. The prop's were slightly scuffed. Since they are relatively cheap I went ahead and replaced the all. Better safe than sorry. Since I already calibrated the gimbal, calibrated the IMU, and calibrated the compass, is there...

If only two two of the anti-drop pins were originally installed with the P3A, then I didn't loose any. Makes me feel much better. I now need to remove the two extra anit-drop pins. Which two anit-drop pins should I remove? Front left, front right, rear left, or rear right?

Yesterday afternoon I experienced my first minor crash. It was a stupid mistake which I won't make again. To make a long story short, I was flying too close to some pine trees, without prop guards, and flying backwards so that the controls were reversed. I got distracted by my young kids...

I've been flying my P3A in local parks within Pickerington, OH. Although I've never seen any posting stating drones were not allowed nor have I ever been stopped by park personnel or local police, I decided to contact the Pickerington park department just to confirm. Below is an email I...

Earlier today I received an email back from the Aircraft Safety and Registration Program Manager of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation: ================================================================================ Good Morning Mr. Pratali, Thank you for reaching out to the Bureau of...

During lunch today I sent an email to the WI DOT. I'm currently waiting their response. I also attempted to call the local DNR office in Spooner, WI. Unfortunately the wait time is too long. I'll have to call back later. I did find this web site: Wisconsin Drone Registration - Drone...
