Well, you'll have your flight logs, so if you can survive the swat team kicking your door down and they don't wreck your drone in the process, you should be ok after about 12 hours.

It all depends on what you're doing with it. Are you buying a quad for photographic reasons, or just for fun? The still camera in the P3 is the best. The video is pretty good too. The lens on the P3 is superior. But its programmed flight features, planned and available, suck in comparison...

No man should have his privacy invaded, even by himself.

Ex Solo owner here: You'll like the Phantom for its camera and flight. You'll absolutely hate it compared to the solo when it comes to the smart shots, because DJI isn't even in the same ballpark when it comes to Solo's orbit/cable cam capabilities. Both for ease of use and accuracy. This is...

I just want an app that I don't have to plot points on a map or do any fancy stuff to get it to work. 1. Fly to point A, push a button for "start". Fly to point B, push a button for "end". That's my straight line and I can use the right stick to fly back and forth at whatever speed I need...

Are you taking photos in 4:3 or 16:9?

I've got mine seated all the way back. As far as it's gonna go.

It vignettes horribly when in photo mode. Might as well not even shoot in 4:3 aspect with them on. But, it's the only Grad ND out there so gotta deal with it.

What is "course lock"? Don't we already have that with a switch and everything?

Saw that and LoL'd hahaha

Which 3rd party app is offering this, because shut up and take my money. DJI markets to those who want a flying camera platform, yet DJI seems to have a bit more knowledge in how camera operators want to work. They flatly stated it in their marketing pieces that they want to mimic traditional...

My experience with it is that it never keeps a straight path. The second you start yawing, it goes way off course. Crashed a P3p this way thinking that mode worked like the Solo. :(

Man they could've used a better video for the Point of Interest shot. Shaky as heck. I wish they would've spent time on a cable cam flight mode. If they can program something like POI and waypoints, why can't they enable someone to frame a shot, press a button, frame a second shot, press...

Thanks. :)

Thanks all. Decided to buy new and sell the controller on ebay. This is definitely going to eat into christmas, but it had to be done.
