1st link is the flight video I did the same day I got it back from Chris, @MNNJR69. 2nd link is one I did to really test it out, 3rd link is a flight BEFORE the repairs (for comparison).

I sent it to Chris and he fixed the gimbal issue and a couple other minor things. Really pleased with his fixes. From about 200' agl

I used these guys when I crashed my P3S. They did a great job of keeping the cost down by rebuilding the camera (AFAIK, that was all that got broken in the crash and I didn't feel confident enough with doing it myself) and it flies great now. They test-flew it before shipping it back to me...

DJI Phantom 3 Standard and Zino (1). That red thing under the P3S is a "Remove Before Flight" key chain, attached to the lens cap on the camera.

And @vindibona1, same company, but in your area: https://www.cellphonerepair.com/chicago-il/gadget-repair/

@vindibona1 and @Buffalo Head.., where are you guys located?

Hey, @Wacousta: It's not really a 'bad' drone (I owned two at one point), it's just not powerful enough (the motors) to handle even moderate winds; has to be trimmed (the left/right & up/down buttons) indoors with no winds. Also make sure to calibrate the gyroscope (Calibrating the Eachine E58...

I have both a Hubsan Zino 1 (nicknamed "Nemesis") and a DJI Phantom 3 Standard (nicknamed "Big Un", because I couldn't think of anything else more 'creative' to name it). I'm also a member of the Phantom Pilots area ("AeroMechAZ").

UPDATE: I was contacted by Tony, a Facebook friend in the Phoenix area and sent him the pictures of the QR codes on both the aircraft and the controller; to my surprise, he was able to 'recover' the one on the Zino, but not the controller's, so I now have the correct S/N for the aircraft, at...

Very nice video, @dimidrone. I still need to learn how to use the different video editing programs I have before I can make one as nice as that one with either my Phantom 3 Standard or my Hubsan Zino Standard. In the meantime, all of my videos will probably be silent.

@MNNJR69, Looking forward to it! Just shoot me an email at [email protected] and we'll make arrangements to get together and fly. I also got my DJI P3S back today and ALMOST crashed it again on the test flight, until I did the IMU calibration and then it seemed to fly normally...

Haven't actually flown it yet, but it SEEMS to be working again.

You were more than enough help, just by replying, @MNNJR69, believe it or not. That got me to actually looking around from your suggestions.

YAY! I got it working again! Found out how (from a friend who flies with me occasionally) how to revert to a previous firmware version, loaded it and the previous gimbal firmware in and now everything works the way it did when I first got the Zino (Standard). Thank you to @MNNJR69 for the...
