    I don't mean to sound like am ***, but how is this anything other than slightly relevant (and admittedly not helpful)?

    Phantom 3 Pro Gimble Shake?

    Your video looks a lot better than mine did. Here is a video from the shaking: Give it a sec, I'm uploading I know mine was a loose screw on the camera mount to servo shaft because I may or may not have taken it apart to investigate before sending it back.

    Phantom 3 Pro Gimble Shake?

    My first P3 camera was loose on its servo, causing it to shake when pointed straight out. Didn't want to take apart a new bird so I sent it back for replacement. Phantom gimbal shake:

    UAV Pilots will have a choice, which would you want? (USA)

    I've seen 1000lb moving rigs over people at event with performers on them. It seems WAY less safe than a quad that weighs a few pounds.

    Automatic RTH and low battery warning with 73% battery?

    It can't be pressure when GPS is available, is it? In an actual airplane, altimeters (using ambient pressure) has to be adjusted based on different atmospheric conditions, both on the ground AND in the air generally based on weather predictions and readings.

    Automatic RTH and low battery warning with 73% battery?

    Ok, so assuming you're taking off somewhat close to the ground, it's AGL.

    Automatic RTH and low battery warning with 73% battery?

    Fair enough, sorry I misinterpreted the intent of your post. The FAA guidelines state to stay under 400ft. They are guidelines and not laws. It's a good idea to stay below this if you don't want to stir up trouble. However, class G airspace (typically under 1,200 ft AGL which means Above Ground...

    Automatic RTH and low battery warning with 73% battery?

    Then I am curious, what was the intent of the question?

    I'm going to add that I highly recommend following FAA guidelines whenever possible, are already around the edges. Don't push it.

    Here I go again: most ho owners policies in the states will cover your drone for non comercial use. Millions in coverage, so sizable. Not sure why you are commenting at all about laws and regs in a country you don't live in...

    Automatic RTH and low battery warning with 73% battery?

    First off, this sounds like a veiled scolding. Secondly, is the indicated alt MSL or AGL? FAA guidelines are in regards to AGL, and I really don't know what the pilot app reading is. Also, FAA only encourages their guidelines of 400ft for model aircraft. Class G airspace is pretty...

    A car is not a requirement for life, it's a luxury. Most of the planet does NOT own cars. Do you know who would be really good at estimating risk? Insurance underwriters. Their job is literally to estimate risk. So compare liability insurance rates for a quad and a car (apples to apples, non...

    Do you know if these people signed waivers? Do you know FAA regs regarding airspace? Do you know what the event has insured? Do you know why I thought it was a good idea to engage you in this argument (I sure as hell don't know why). My guess is your answer is no to every single one. I get it...

    A car is about 300 times more deadly than a little quad. The car is far and away more dangerous than the quad. I realize your mind is made up that you want to be mad, so maybe this is a pointless thing to bring up.
