I've read the great posts about using ND filters in manual mode -- setting shutter speed to 2x frame rate, then using filter to get ev ~ 0. I am going to shoot a rowing race tomorrow in bright sunshine and obviously over water. I will be shooting into, away from and sideways to the morning...

Thanks. With regard to versions, I was referring to the P3P FW ... odd that it all refers to 1.4, but the Bin file and txt confirmation says 1.04 My Go app does not allow me to enter camera mode... it just gives me directions on how to connect, as if it does not see the P3P Lastly, is...

I have a Pro. It updates to "1.04.0010" I can't get the RC to update. I had been oon the immediately previous version, so I thought it would update via Go, but I can't tell. I tried the USB drive method also. I don't see any new features on GO either, and I am connected to WiFi.

The BIN file is 1.04 yet the other references are 1.40 Is this a typo? I am having troubles....

Ed209... #35. I too took off next to a big steel bridge with my first P3P.... Went into big crazy loops, would not respond to RC nor RTH, and flew away.... Be careful.

My original P3P flew away in late May... (Big swooping circles, did not respond to RTH, flew away 3 miles before I lost signal... Never recovered). I mention to note that I flew a rock-solid P3P for a month so know how they "should" behave. My 2nd P3P has been very unstable since I received it...

I searched the manual for stick, and calibration and found no instructions for stick calibration.... How do you do it?

Overlaying stick movements...."On ios its a little tx icon on the playback screen" Is there a way to overlay stick movements on Android? Also, where do I find the data files?

Adam, Sorry to hear your news. How did you overlay stick movement onto the log?

Thanks all. I checked the EV and it was several clicks off center (don't recall + or -) I wasn't aware of the right wheel... I'll be more careful. ND= neutral density? Where do I get one? How do they attach? What is CP? How do you change the shutter speed on video?

Any insight on how I might avoid the white-out on the video that gets bad around the 4:20 mark? You can see it eventually resolves itself. I have camera set at 100 ISO and "sunny" white balance. It happens a lot as I shoot my son's rowing races.....sunny days on the water.

I have been flying my P3 with the original firmware for a couple of weeks and it works fine. I've read a bunch of stories about people having problems with the video feed disconnecting after they installed the firmware update. Wondering what people's views are on the benefits of the new...

Very interested in the CSC theory. Don't know why they would make multiple ways to shut off the motors... why not go with the throttle down AND no descent, as in, landed? Separately, the crash over the Charles River was within a mile or two of Magazine Beach where this happened in October...

Is the "CSC" the both down and in or down and out maneuver? If you did that inadvertently the thing would drop out of the sky?

Thank you. I think that is my problem as I was fiddling with that before the flight.....
