I've had no range problems with my P3S (over 2,000 ft.). Get your P3S; study the instruction manual 2-3 times to learn it well; watch some of the online tutorials. The DJI tutorials and some others are quite good. Should fly great out of the box; fly it that way first before trying any updates IMHO. On my first update, things went well, when it said update complete, I turned off the RC and the bird. It bombed. I tried it again, and when I got update complete, I kept everything powered for a minute or so. Complete success. After update complete, I think there is some data transfer or file decompression going on inside the Phantom. If you power it down immediately, you halt the new firmware from fully loading, I think.
This is a great forum, but most of the posts are from those having problems, many of their own making. You don't see many posts from those not having problems, so apply a huge filter in basing your opinion on the problem posts. Good luck with your decision; the P3S is a blast to fly with good photo and video capabilities. |
