I have 7 batteries, 4 were swollen in under 20 flights, 1 is on 52 flights with no swelling and 2 that are around 15 with no swelling. Batteries are my big gripe with phantoms. I guess I pay $5 a flight for batteries. DJI did refund a battery for me and amazon another. If you get swelling under...

I agree. Fixing distorted gopro footage with the app doesn't deliver a crisp image. Half the reason I purchased the inspire is to be able to fly with the camera pointed down and not have the distortion.

Costa Rica is a wonderful place to live if you are an outdoorsy type that enjoys a slow pace. I have seen what I call "high maintenance " people come and go with regularity. You have to be able to slow down and embrace Pura Vida Question for you - why no moving shots in wide angle?

I try to hide people from my real estate video - this video shows a few people.

I just received my inspire yesterday and it is sitting here in the case calling my name. Before I delve into it I decided to put together a video from footage I took with my P2 so that I can use it as a reference to see how much better the shots come together with the Inspire. I would love to...

The listing says $2,500,000 but I am pretty sure that the owner is dropping the price in the next few days. I recommend contacting Ben at [email protected] to get up to date info. If you do reach out I would appreciate it if you let him know you saw the property here. I do a lot of...

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes we flew over an airport but it is a small public airport in Costa Rica and we had permission and flight schedules from the "tower" Our client has home next to the airport with private access to the runway and set the whole thing up. It does make for some entertaining video and we got to fly...

Thanks Guys. I tried to keep the question short so didn't add that I did compass cali + IMU cali. The thing I didn't do was an RC cali. Will try that now and let you know results. Thanks again CostaC

Yesterday my P2 flew great. This morning I updated the firmware and went out to fly. Everything seemed fine as I took off and hovered for a few seconds. Then I used left stick yawing to the right and the bird shot full throttle forward and continuing the right turn and keeping the same...

Re: Most Beautiful Place on Earth - Ocean, Waves, Monkeys et NO issues at all. TSA seems to know what they are. I use a pelican 1510 case and carry it on but so far have had no issue other than having to take the time to answer questions like - how much does it cost etc..

Re: Most Beautiful Place on Earth - Ocean, Waves, Monkeys et I just walk with the phantom as smoothly as possible then use stabilization filters and maybe slow the shot down to get better effect.

Re: Most Beautiful Place on Earth - Ocean, Waves, Monkeys et Thanks Phantom Flicks - with a canvas like that it is hard to not get great footage. Paz

I got to go down to Cabo Matapalo, Costa Rica to shoot a video for a friends vacation rental. What an amazing place!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbHMHx5RUBc
