    British Columbia, Canada

    Thanks! I used Adobe Premiere CC. First time using it as I normally use Sony Vegas but it just could not handle 4K video where as Adobe worked great but not as user friendly. I didn't use an ND filter at all for any of the shots. I ordered one but have yet to receive it.

    Linden, N.J. Family Shocked When Drone Crashes Into House

    This shouldn't even be news, especially when the incident is blown up to be 10 times worse than it actually is.

    Poll- Flying your P3 (or any drone) within the law or not

    Yeah.. can't say I've been following Canada's guidelines... at all. Sometimes you have to be a rebel. I don't however fly near airports, over crowded areas, or be one of those people that have to film a forest fire. I was recently surprised to get in trouble by a park ranger for flying in the...

    P3 Proper use of batteries - TIPS

    I always let the battery cool to room temp before charging and 20% would be my limit but I usually land before it even reaches 30%. There have been a couple topics of batteries becoming damaged after draining them to 8% at the 20 cycle count as per the manual.

    Update 1.4fw, unstable straight line fly...

    Correcting by moving the stick a little to the right when trying to fly straight. I did calibrate the compass and IMU after the firmware update. I didn't try the RC calibration though.

    Follow Me feature "too far away"

    Went to try out the follow me feature today and after being above 10 meters, and having it positioned the way I wanted, I pressed Apply. Every time it keeps telling me the aircraft is too far away, even if it is directly over my head. The tablet I am using is the Nexus 9 and the app says the...

    Would stopping the motor damage it?

    The ESC's would fry before the motor would. Which would mean a $500 or so new mainboard. :-(

    New Smart Car Charger for DJI Phantom 3 Part Professional Pro Battery

    I use an inverter as well. I just wouldn't be able to trust those chargers, especially for expensive lithium batteries.

    Removing props after flight?

    I always keep the props on. Don't see any reason to remove them so long as you have case that allows you to keep them on.
