    Left skid getting in camera view now & then

    I have a HERO 3 white. I believe I am stuck with wide angle. GoPro says "remove the effect after, with Studio", and studio won't play nice with my current computers

    I have a HP PC with Vista. GoPro says 7&8 only for studio. Bought my wife a PC and she never used it. might fire it up soon. I think it has Windows 7.

    Since a lot of newbies probably read this, I'll tell about my scare. I had been flying my P2 as if I were practicing flying a helicopter (full size) I got quite confident and was ready to mount the GoPro. We had a visitor that is flying a gyroplane around the world from Ireland (he went the long...

    I had my scare early on and every flight gets easier. I am in no hurry and want to be cautious, that's why I asked about flipping it back on. Can you go back to GPS after switching to IOC?

    Anybody that quotes FZ is a friend indeed. Great googly moogly I tried to insert a picture of me with Ed Mann from a Project Object concert a few years back. I started listening to Frank way back in the 60's and only missed one concert in Chicago out of all of them. I saw Dweezil a month or so ago.

    Last Night's Kaboomies

    Very nice shot. I was tempted to take my P2 out and capture a shoot. I saw a You tube video where someone had their quad in the middle of the conflagration. I assume it was pretty dangerous to the quad, but with the camera down and the shells coming up, it was amazing. There is also a YT vid...

    NASCAR @ Daytona tonight

    It was worth staying up for. Our local short track owner let someone hover a quad over the start / finish line. I bet he got some great footage.

    I have read a lot and watched a ton of helpful You tube videos, but I am still confused about the toggle switches on the controller. Are the toggle switches fully functional from the factory? or do I have to run an "assistant" to make them 100% functional? I realize I have to flip the RH...

    I kinda guessed at that. Thanks for the confirmation. So if my GoPro battery is low, it won't matter with it plugged in? Nice to know. I probably want a fully charged GoPro battery as to not put any further load on my P2's battery. Thank you!

    I thought that might be the reason. Thank you!

    Left skid getting in camera view now & then

    Thank you for the reply. Looks like I posted in the wrong place. GoPro studio isn't compatible with 2 of my 3 computers. I have to set up the newest one and get the studio downloaded, then I can post my video. Right now I have an unedited 1.2 gig video, so I need to edit it down. None of my...

    Lost my drone...for 15 minutes

    Are these error messages on a POV (FPV) screen? If so, do all the POV / FPV screens have that feature?

    3 newbie questions

    When I power up my P2, the GoPro "on" light illuminates. Is there a reason why? Is my GoPro camera receiving power from the P2 via the cable I plug in to the port ? Why does the gimbal respond to the yaw stick commands. It is probably supposed to move, but why do you need it when the copter...

    Left skid getting in camera view now & then

    Made my 5th flight today, enjoying each one more than the last. I notice when I rotate the Phantom 2 about it's vertical axis with the left stick, the gimbal rotates the camera in the same direction a little. Why is this needed? Is it normal? I noticed that my left skid occasionally appears in...
