Been all across the fourms and haven't seen that come up yet, or if it has then I've missed it somehow.  But will the legs be replaceable?  I have the newer P2 with the compass built into the legs (purchased in Feb.) and wasn't happy to find this out when i got it.

The landing gear of the P3 also has a compass - down in the bottom this time.
And 4 antennas for the lightbridge.  What's the problem?

Dislike seeing the legs in my footage when maneuvering.  Of course yes I know i could make slower turns, but to not have to deal with it at all would be great.  Not asking to much there I think.  Or DJI could have redesigned the legs for the PC3.  Made them alil wider.

They did .. taller and wider.
Also the lens angle of view is 94º rather than the 140º of the P2V+

That makes me happy to hear....wonder why I never seen mention of that even on the P3 page.  Time to go compare specs!

You can catch the left leg on the P3 if go full yaw to the left.  With anything less you will not have a problem.

With the narrower FOV, do the props show much?  (Not their shadow, the props and arms themselves.)

If you are at full forward elevator and do not move the camera from level then yes you will see them.  If you point the camera downward then no you will no see them.

Soooooo....did some looking around @labroides and @Tahoe_Ed.  Still didn't see any specs on legs.  Any sources you all can point me to, or Tahoe_Ed can you verify that labroides statement is indeed factual???

The legs are replaceable.  You can remove the antennas and the compass is held on with two screws.  The legs are held on with two screws at each corner.

Are you able to confirm stock legs are taller and wider as labroides mentioned?
