If it makes you feel better, I have batteries that have 2-3 deviations per flights from time to time. According to the healthy drones website, you should start worrying when you see a lot of deviations

If you read through all of that you will be an expert on the calibration process! It's not as scary as it looks. Happy flying.

This tablet looks like it could be great monitor for the Phantoms. Big screen, decent battery life, and an SD card port, not to mention the quad core processor. I did some measuring, and it will fit in the stock holder that comes on the P3 controllers, and offers up a 10.1 inch screen vs the...

VLC is a video playback program that runs on PC (among other platforms)

You could also use the built in simulator if you wanted to get familiar with it before you flew

Agreed with others. You have to realize this forum represents maybe 10% of all owners? Overall these things are great to fly and if you use common sense you will have lots of fun for a long time!

Right. I almost had a fly away once .... It was enough to get me thinking! It may seem like an unnecessary expense, but it may come in handy one day. I agree keeping the drone close is the best policy, but it's not out of the question for you to lose sight of it even in close spaces.

The gimbal is smart enough to know when the motor is over powered. A message will pop up similar to: "gimbal motor overload" or something of that nature. I've done this myself a couple times before I got my remove before flight tags. I believe it's smart enough to know to stop trying and...

Are you referring to this screen? If so I believe it's been removed. Alternatively you could save to your device and upload via the YouTube app. This is what I do for Vimeo.

I get some wobble from time to time in descent but I've also seen it badly on "learner" quads and have figured out how to escape it. The p3's are very powerful. If you start wobbling with p3, a lot of times you can throttle up and pull out of it which is usually not the case on less powerful...

I've had this so many times on my cheaper "learner" quads.

I'm a race car junkie. The funny thing is, toe in creates a nice straight line stability, but toe out will create the nice turn in and maneuver setup stability. So there is always a give and take. I don't know enough about the angles of the Phantom motors, but I wonder if there is trade off...

Hey, never hurts to ask even if someone comes along and flames you - ha! I asked the same question myself a few weeks back. It was fresh on my mind

Thanks for your input. I am leaning towards Trackimo at this point as I could see some other great uses for it. Are you using a mount or did you DIY a mount?

To add: it's supposedly to enabled better reaction time to stick inputs.
