P3S Required Add Ons

[MotorCycle-Man]

So I have to register and pay $5.00?

Yep.and post your FAA numbers on your drone...label maker or even a magic marker will do.

A quick clarification about FAA registration: it was introduced as a requirement in December 2015 (for models between 0.55 and 55lbs), then ruled illegal by a federal court in May 2017 (FAA had to change its wording to say registration was voluntary), and it's back to being mandatory, apparently thanks to a special provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, signed in December 2017.

Interestingly enough, on the FAA registration site, they mention "[...] fly with an aero-modeling club", while that is not a requirement:

Yes - that is worded oddly - making the interpretation vague, and I think it's at least partly because it's an outdated page circa late 2015. Note that the link takes you to another page advising one to read AC 91-57A which is also outdated. Part 107 and Part 101 weren't drawn up until the following summer of 2016.

I would recommend these
They go on the camera gimble arm so if you crash it prevents the camera snapping off. Also get a laydel as the neck one is not as comfy as the one that wraps around your arms. Also an argtek booster will help a lot too

Easily done via the FAA website and a credit card. Instant number for the drone. Small price to pay.

I believe those are only for the "Pro" and "Advanced" Phantom 3's and not the Standard like the OP is asking about.

[Droning in AR]

got one on my P3S

Was it the same kind as pictured? Does it fit well?

 

[kndll]

same , just search for one that says it fits P3S, been on for 14 months , fits well

 

[kndll]

actually the camera physically is the same as the camera on the pro/advanced, only internally are they different , so one for pro/advanced works

 

[Droning in AR]

Thanks for letting me know. I did a search on ebay and couldn't find any that said they would fit.

 

[kndll]

search my ebay records , here's what I ordered 3D Printed Camera Gimbal Protector Guard Fr DJI Phantom 3 Pro&Advance Spare Part | eBay

The eonly option that you really need is State Farm insurance if you live in a region that has it.

How do the ND filters attach to a P3 and where is the best place to get them?

How do the ND filters attach to a P3

To the P3S? Most of them push onto the camera.

where is the best place to get them?

Many people buy them from Amazon and eBay. You can find a list of commonly used P3S filters here.

Neon, they're out there for the Standard also. I bought two from eBay for only a few bucks. Installed one and got a backup.
