Does anyone know of some sort of hard case I can buy to store my propellors so they don't get damaged? Ideally I could fit 4 in one hard-shell container, which is as small as possible to fit 4 propellors. Thanks!

i just wish the bag was designed as-advertised, to allow props on while using bag

I decided to buy a nice bag/backpack for my phantom, one that you can leave the props on. So I bought the Lowepro Droneguard CS 400 Problem is, unless the bag is flat on the ground, gravity does its thing and the drone shifts down, and hte props hit the inside edge of the bag. Now 2 of my...

I've taken off over 100 times with less than 75% battery, and I've never had a problem. I think DJI's statement "Don't take off with a battery less than 100%" is just DJI covering their butts. If you followed the 100% rule, you could charge to 100%, power on (draining 1% battery) and...

Every phantom will eventually have a component that fails, the shell and motors won't last indefinitely. My angle on asking this question is what parts should we look out for to prevent component failure. And I'm wondering how long before we should replace the motors - does anyone have any info...

Let's say you have 100,000 phantom pilots, all flying their phantoms non-aggressively, no pilot error. Eventually, over the years, all of them will fail (stop working / fall out of the sky). (A component of the system will fail.) Very few will fail within a year, others might fly 100 hours a...

Sweet. Nice time lapses too ! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I use an iPad mini with my controller. I also use Litchi. I was trying to get Magic Leash to work, but it seems that it only works if your controller device is android? I can download Magic Leash to my iphone, but it's of no use becaue I'm not using an android device as my controller device -...

Doesn't Orbit require the drone to fly in a circle? or can you set it with a circle with radius of 0 feet? thanks

I had pretty much the exact same crack in the same spot. At first I contacted my local store (who is an authorized DJi seller) to see if they could fix it under warranty. They checked with DJI and DJI agreed to pay for a replacement shell to be installed (parts and labour), and the best part...

Can I use Litchi to slowly rotate (yaw) 360 degrees, without using the control sticks? Reason: to get as smooth of a rotation as possible. I know how to use Litch to program the P3 move from point A to point B, and rotate as it moves from A to B. But what if I want the P3 to rotate 360...

Accoding to this post, you can. Phantom Loss of Control / CSC - There When You Need It.

Is it possible to restart your motors after a mid-flight CSC command? Has anyone had to do this in an emergency situation: 1) Initiate CSC command mid-flight, 2) Let it free-fall, 3) Restart motors and regain control before hitting the ground?

Is there a maximum number of batteries I can take on Air Canada or Wesjet (carry-on)? I've flown with my P3 just fine a couple of times within Canada (Air Canada / WestJet), but I only had a total of 2 batteries. Now I have 4. I'd imagine at some point, they'd say "whoaaaaaaaaaaah......you...

I'll dig one up as soon as I can.
