My Phantom 3 Standard does not turn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or corrupted. Do I have to buy the remote controller separately? No, there is no need to buy a separate remote controller. Your Phantom 3 Standard comes with a custom-built remote controller that is already linked to the aircraft.

How can I safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). The Aircraft Status Indicators will blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the DJI GO app will display one of the following messages: - Compass error, calibration required This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings.
