    Post your 4k Editing setup.

    Mac Pro, 2tb thunderbolt drive (necessity), 5 tb usb3 drives, 32megRAM (need more)... The Video card, RAM and Hard Drive are hugely (bigly) important! The biggest improvement was the thunderbolt drive.

    P3A yaw problem

    I have a P3A that has developed a slow yaw to the left... it's annoying! I can't take a stationary video without a constant correction. I have done a IMU calibration (twice), compass calibration, controller calibration, and new props. Nothing has worked. Any ideas? Thanks

    Dropping altitude quickly

    I will have to try the descent at an angle, time it against a vertical drop. And, No, I won't be doing a mid-flight shutdown and restart anytime soon, yes that's the fastest way to get it down, but not with this investment.

    Dropping altitude quickly

    I moved from a P1 to a P3A about 6 months ago and only one thing drives me nuts... dropping altitude. This thing takes forever (it seems) to drop it from cruising height. The highest I have had it is approx. 100m and getting it to come down is painstakingly slow. Are there any settings that can...

    IOS 10

    iOS10, the only issue so far has been pushing the C1 button, it asks for permission to access something... kinda irritating.

    Before I buy Litchi, I need some answers...

    I have a P3A and Point of Interest won't even activate until I get to 5m above the car... And my flying skills are OK, but not OK when I am concentrating on centering an object in the viewfinder, avoiding obstacles, and maintaining a constant speed!

    Before I buy Litchi, I need some answers...

    Cool thank you! So do I have to plan everything before hand on my desktop PC using Litchi? Unlike DJI Go where I fly the drone and place the center pin where I want the focus to be?

    Before I buy Litchi, I need some answers...

    Well I know that the DJI Go app minimum flight height is 5meters (I thought it was 10), either way I need it to be at about 4-5 feet or 1.25 meters. Currently we do pans around vehicles with either a dolly or a car. I would like to have no tracks in the footage when I come around 360°. And at...

    Before I buy Litchi, I need some answers...

    I am looking at buying the Litchi app, mostly for orbiting and filming objects. I know the DJI app does that but only at a height of 10 meters. I need it to be at most 10 feet! I will be doing a circular pan of vehicles... Can the litchi app do that?? Thanks in advance! E

    Newbie with propeller questions

    Hello all! New to the Phantom and this forum, been involved with RC craft for over 30+years and have some questions. I have a stock Phantom 2, bare bones. All I can find locally are P3 props, I understand that the new props are plastic hubs vs. the P2 metal hubs. Looking online I can't really...
