    New FAA Drone Marking Rules

    Microdot it. There are no size requirements and no penalties outlined under this rule. Test the system. Once again, an idiotic rule from the government.

    Phantom Drone First Edit!

    I can open and view it only on the ipad connected to RC. If I take the microSD out of the AC and download the .MOV to my PC, it won't open. I did convert the .MOV to MP4 in 1080p with a converter I bought online. It is successfully uploaded to Youtube. I have not figured out yet how to get into...

    Phantom Drone First Edit!

    Just had my first flight and recorded some video with the default settings. Looks like it is 4K MOV file and I can't do a thing with it. What software editor/converter might help me in making this a usable file for sharing. I work off of a PC not a Mac/Apple. Thanks for your input.

    To gimbal lock or not to gimbal lock

    Watched a few unboxing videos before the arrival of my first P3P and every one I watched the gimbal lock was dislodged at the time of unboxing. So was mine when I opened the package up. Is that a sign of rough handling by the shipping company or is it a defect in the gimbal lock design?

    Can you fly a camera drone where there is no cellular service?

    My iPad Air 2 is, yes, just at 6.6 in wide. So, this should be fine. Thank you.

    Can you fly a camera drone where there is no cellular service?

    Does the standard mount on the RC accommodate the iPad Air 2, or do you need some aftermarket fix?

    What tablets work well with the Phantom 3?

    Not a drone owner yet, but I searched this out in the threads here, and I think the consensus is iPad Air2 and iPad Mini 4 are top contenders. I'm facing the same question, and will probably go with an iPad Air 2 with cellular and wifi.

    Can you fly a camera drone where there is no cellular service?

    Thanks, again. I searched the threads and came upon the discussion with lots of folks suggesting iPad Air 2 cellular. I will look into these options.

    Can you fly a camera drone where there is no cellular service?

    Do you have a device recommendation for connecting to the controller? Tablet or whatever?

    Can you fly a camera drone where there is no cellular service?

    I'm looking to buy a Phantom 3 to fly over a ranch that is in the middle of BFE with sketchy to zero cellular service. Is it possible to navigate without WIFI or cellular service? Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first post.
