    Be careful of helicopters even when below 400 feet

    Helicopters are supposed to stay at above 500' in populated areas in case they have an engine failure and have to auto-rotate to the ground. At below 500' they don't have enough room to maneuver and risk crashing into somebody's house. Thus they put us at risk. That said, though, a UAV is way...

    New video up - Seal Rocks

    Awesome footage. I really don't care for transitions though. Too busy and very distracting. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Show off your Phantom 3 Videos

    I like the photography and the music choice but find the editing to be very jarring, and a harsh contrast with the peaceful imagery. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Where do you post your images/videos?

    So you just host them from your own file server? Do you have a static IP? Heavily forested is right! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Where do you post your images/videos?

    I really don't like YouTube. They compress the snot out of videos, to the point where they are almost unrecognizable. I also understand that the FAA sometimes comes along and says "You're making money off this YouTube UVA video! Cease and desist!" I tend to post short 720 or even 1080 clips...

    First time flyer pictures from my Phantom 4

    I like the shots but am not crazy about the fish-eye curvature effect.

    Highlights of Lesvos (Greece)

    Very well done. Good selection of shots, good sequencing and transitions, music choice and timing.

    Aerial videos from Greece - Phantom 3 Professional

    Well done but awfully long. I'd make each video 1/2 to 1/4 the length. There's just not that much going on. I wasn't able to watch any of them all the way through.

    Quarry in VA

    Where is that located? I just did a flyover of Luck Stone outside of Leesburg a little over a week ago.

    400 ft altitude .. and topography?

    DJI Go uses 400 ft from your take-off point, but that's due to it's limitations. It doesn't have a way to measure the distance to ground beyond the ~5 meters that the ultrasonic sensor can read, so it doesn't KNOW how far you are off the ground. The FAA limit is 400 feet above ground level. So...
