    Using Phantom during fireworks

    I've seen some pretty sweet fireworks footage via phantoms, but I wouldn't risk damage to my bird by flying one around fireworks myself. I can't say that I'd have notified the police about him though.

    Got a call back from local ap

    I was flying about 3/4 of a mile from a local airport. I was in a valley and was flying <20 ft off the ground doing some nature videography of a stream. I kept getting a warning on my display that I was flying in a restricted area. I knew where the airport was, but obviously was not...

    What FPV app do you use?

    I just picked up some FPV goggles off of eBay. A friend recommended using the app "cloudlightfpv" for flight with my P3A. It's reviews are so so and I wondered if any of you had good experiences with any other apps for iPhone or android. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Uncontrollable crash

    I skimmed thru this thread, but didn't see this question.. If someone accidentally performs a CSC mid air as in this case, can they restart the rotors and fly again while falling?? And no... I'm not up for trying that out myself! And OP... Sorry about your bird. Thanks for helping us become...

    been filming humpback whales the past few months. these are my favorite shots.

    That is so amazing! Awesome job! My wife and I went to Maui / Kauai for our honeymoon. I would move there in a heartbeat if my wife and kids would go. What software did you use for editing?

    State parks

    While I was at Ohiopyle in Pennsyvania, I asked a park ranger if I could fly there and he said that they would rarely grant permission to fly. But he said that many other parks may grant permission. I have not asked at my favorite local state park yet, but hopefully they will grant permission.

    Hey all. I'm a newbie here. I tried on another thread to provide new drone flyers with some simple awareness about the drone registration process. Unfortunately that thread got derailed and waaaay off topic. So I'm going to keep this simple. In case you have not registered your drone yet...

    drone drops, show your invention.

    I'm curious also! I have yet to do so... but I definitely want to drop my fishing line as deep in the ocean as I can. Sure will beat wading out to my shoulders! My plan was to simply attach a small L shape to my camera gimbal guard and simply fly it out and then do a 180 and back away so it...

    What is the Best FPV that can also work with PS3

    I also echo this Q? I would like to try the fpv experience, but I'd want to be able to lift them up and look back to the tablet to ensure location on map, etc. Is it really one or the other and not both? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
