    Bought a new/used drone with problems...

    You don’t mention firmware version. I brought my P3P out of retirement recently after 5 years of storage and pretty much all of the random issues after a battery refresh were fixed by upgrading to the latest firmware. It feels and flies like it did when new.

    Broke the 100 flight mark last week. Thinking of selling my bird though.

    Washington must be one of the greatest places to live and own an AP ship. Having said that, going pro takes some determination. Photojournalism, fashion, video all have challenges and take conviction and hard work to succeed.

    FPV Goggles?

    I can't figure out how to get the nVidia Shield to output HDMI at 720 for my FatShark Dominator HDs. Anyone have this working?

    Tips for "professional" quality video

    Awesome post! I was thinking this morning that my best videos are when the aerial shots are part of the story, not the story.

    Battery update?

    Absence of success is not indication of failure. "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. But how do it know?"

    Who's actually filming and Editing in 4k

    You're a!most there. Your video card is the bottleneck. I've got the same specs but with a GTX980 and it loves 4K. No issues in edit at all.

    Who's actually filming and Editing in 4k

    Just before buying a P3P, I had begun shooting all of my P2's GoPro video in 2.7 / 30 / W because on my editing PC's 27" monitor it looked markedly better that 1080P. In fact 1080P is beginning to look rather tired to my eyes. And if you've had the opportunity to view a 4K TV at your local...

    DJI Phantom 3 support is useless

    I deal with a lot of off-shore technical support and in general, they are less likely to hand hold and more likely to follow a script. Having said that, the instructions are pretty clear. Step 3- Update the Aircraft 1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft.

    Selfie

    For sure I like to root for the home team, and yes competition would be great. But it's pretty much astronauts and monkeys at this point. I guess that they are tapping into the hype that launched a thousand kickstarter campaigns. Looking forward to reading a Solo review.

    Mine seem to pretty much coincide with my photo taking locations.

    What does flying in the city have to do with a Phantom 3 specifically?

    P3Pro soft still images

    Most likely stating the obvious, but you did remove the protective plastic that covers the lens on a new P3? I wouldn't have flown my first pack this way, I promise :confused:

    Why I am buying a Solo

    3DR have had their share of manufacturing problems and be prepared to spend a lot of time learning about and programming their product. The Solo might be a different kettle of fish, but I've spent some time with APM:Copter, and it is anything but plug and play. I would prefer to fly and shoot...
