DURING A BREAK from light rain showers, I launched my DJI Phantom 3 Pro drone for a series of camera moves next to part of the old town walls of Clonmel. During the third short flight, I got a "motor overload" message that caused the drone to automatically land.
It turns out the warning is commonplace. In my case, it might be due to an intelligent battery being too cautious. Worried it might be due to worn bearings inside the propeller motor assembly, I checked each of the prop housings for overheating but there was no problem.
