    Has anyone tried Microsoft Research Hyperlapse for videos?

    Yup, ICE is the same team of guys; they also did MSR's Gigapixel: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/HDView/HDGigapixel.htm Let me know if you try hyperlapse pro preview, I can pass feedback on to the team.

    Has anyone tried Microsoft Research Hyperlapse for videos?

    So, notification of biased post in advance, I know some of the team that worked on the Hyperlapse project, and while they weren't initially targeting flying camera platforms, I thought it might be fun for us to experiment with...

    Any update on shipping ?

    Mine also shipped; same SKU, customer ref #82xx something. Fedex was listed as shipper, no tracking number.

    DJI shipped my P3 +extra battery today (April 29).

    Mine was also shipped today. Customer ref# was in the 8000's, I did order a Pro unit with an extra battery, and ordered direct from DJI about two days after launch. Guess I need to order a tracker now. Too many trees in the pacific northwest not to have a tracker.

    Connectivity requirements on startup

    Hey hang, So over on the Facebook group (unofficial), one of the commenters stated that each time the pilot app or a third party app would start up, they'd need to re-connect with DJI's servers before you can turn of wi-fi or the cellular radio. I didn't think that was true, thought it was...

    First flight plan on my new P3P

    For mine I'm hoping to do a basic flyover of my property with camera facing down. That said, it's pretty wooded with tall conifers out here and so I'm going to have to trust in FPV to navigate. I'm still hoping to get brave enough to fly it over the local waterfall (Snoqualmie falls) but I'm...

    Torture.

    Sadly I can't even do that as I sold my Blade 350 QX2 as part of ordering the P3. That said, my little 200qx is keeping me at least partially entertained :).

    Best "Monitor" for Phantom 3

    So, I'm hoping just to use my iPhone 6+ instead of buying yet another device (quads are expensive enough as it is). Anyone using a 6+ with the phantom pilot app? Is there enough screen real-estate there to be useful? Failing that, I'll probably get the NVIDIA Blade rather than an iPad Mini; I...

    Hands on experience Phantom 3 - 4K plus Inside the hood Pictures

    Just wanted to pile on and say thanks Mohan for taking so many requests and answering questions and taking pictures. I'm so excited to have a unit I feel comfortable flying for a bit without constantly bringing it close to check on battery status, etc.

    They finally got through processing my payment on Sunday, though I ordered on Thursday. Ended up with: 8545. We'll see whether I make the first round of units or not.
