I have Three phantom 3s but I want to fly them all from a single controller to make a convoy of drones. How could this be made possible?

Simple answer, it can't. Those sort of tricks require more sophisticated control systems.

Why? So you can crash all three at the same time?

I could never crash. How much weight could I lift with three? I would like to teach my brother a lesson.

Now that's funny right there.

In order for 3 drones to work together, they would need to be within close proximity to each other, which might cause some interference issues. These units are not able to perform a swarm effect.

It might work with the P2V series while keeping the 2.4 off.  I currently have a P2V and a P2V+ linked to the same 5.8 controller.  I've never tried flying them both at once though.  Don't think I want to...

In jest, I was going suggest duct tape. Haha

But why waste good tape? ;-)

"I could never crash" spoken just like a Beginner! I'm curious now,...what lesson are you trying to teach your brother?

You cannot, plus there will be a lot of interference.

1. Yes you can.
2. Not the drone you're looking for to carry heavy weight tethering three.  You need a  AERO-X http://aerofex.com/theaerox/
3. Teach what lesson, how to crash?

Or a couple of electric 700 scale RC heli's.. ;-)

They Lift my spirits too...
The power these RC models motors can produce is incredible.

I have quick reactions and lightening skill; crashing for me is impossible.

My brother, he very naughty. I think if I can use my drone to pick him up it will teach him a lesson.

Maybe if three cannot pick him up, one can push him over. I will make all the family laugh. It's ok, I will use prop guards to make sure he cannot hurt my drone.

Really, you will use prop guards so he won't hurt your aircraft? Are you stupid or is this just a wind-up?

You are an idiot! You don't have the common sense to it takes to operate a drone in any capacity! I hope your Mom or Dad takes your toys away and give you a good spanking!

Mr Emeljay; why are you so insulting to me? I will come to your grand studio and challenge you to a drone off challenge.

The fact is, this is not the correct place for your inquiry into accessing three drones at once regardless of your "lighting" skills or making modifications to carry a large load.  

This is starting to sound like the crazy guy who kept asking how to carry guns and explosives on a drone.

I suggest you stop asking how to hack into the drones to make them fly together or carry loads in this site as DJI could result in banning you.  

This is DJI's forum and not a modding forum.
  

If you want to teach your very naught brother a lesson, just walk up to him and Punch him.
Tell him why you did.
Lesson taught....

Thank you for your contribution. You seemed to volunteer to engage far more positively earlier in the thread. I don't believe I started asking about modifications.

"Lighting skills"?  Are you suggesting I alter the outdoor lighting to improve my piloting skills?

Sounds like he's a lightweight.

Lots of people have enjoyed this thread and some have been very aware of what has been happening. Others have used insulting words, pompous attitudes, enlargened or capital fonts.

I think you have accused me of trolling which is a very unique activity to conduct. I suggest you review what you have said and how one could fit into such a scenario: enjoy reading this description http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trolling and your time spent reflecting.  Timnwcove, red hot poker, badbob, I think you all knew and passed
