I have dji phantom 3 standard and i wonder why the drone shaking while hovering in the air. the whole drone seems like vibrating.

The last time i use my drone i try to autoland then its shaking before landing and the drone land badly luckily the drone is fine and since it wasnt that high before drop. Then i afraid i try to fly my drone yesterday i just hand catch it rather than auto land

Sometimes also when i try to take off it shows compass stuck on dji app then i have to try again until it able to take off. Hope sifu2 can help

Just got back from flyin my drone. The drone still shaking, already did a flight mode. I bring up much higher and it was fine but suddenly the drone went crazy, when i push forward the drone goin left, when i push backward the drone goin right. Idk whats wrong, i try to bring it down to land but its doesnt work. Afterall i autoland it, glad that method works or else idk what to do i was panic. And i catch it with hand.

im glad i autoland the drone ASAP. Seems like theres no firmware upg. Thus i think since dji change their maps from google maps to HERE maps the firmware seems get much worse. Any idea how to downgrade instead?

U do compass calibration before each flight? read somewhere it's not advisable unless you're flying at different place from home.

apart from lower battery life and shorter distance compared to dji pro drone, its quite simple to use and stable...

and i bought it for work..just because the fact that the controller already came with built in display, so less things to go wrong... (dji need phone/tablet to work as display)...

at the time i bought it, got metal carrying case, 2 battery, handheld gimbal,spare blade and many other accs with much less price than phantom 3 pro (at the time for nearest competitor).....


now already 2 years old...with over 100hours flight time total (or could be close to 200hours by now i think)

Sounds interesting and pretty good deal you got there. As long as the drone firmware update doesnt disturb you. I heard about yuneec before i thought its hard to find here in malaysia.

the kit is easy to get...

pre-order is plenty also...

but accessories...NOPE...

since malaysian is love riding with the wind (following the trend or majority) hence...dji accessories far easier to source...
