    Video Issues after DJI Go 2.8.2 update

    I had the same issue. It didn't matter whether the Phantom was in the air or on the ground a few feet away, the breakups were the same so it can't be signal strength.

    Intermittent camera failure

    Thanks, no that is where I started. He was just pointing out that in addition to the black ribbon cable, I should check both of the white cables. With two white ribbon cables and the black ribbon cable, how does one isolate where the problem is? Thanks. Joe

    Intermittent camera failure

    Thanks. Not so obvious at all - I had missed the second cable. Sadly, I just now checked both ends of that one and my problem remains. :(

    Intermittent camera failure

    Thanks for the suggestion. I verified that the white ribbon cable was firmly seated to the top of the gimbal but problems continue. Whatever is going wrong appears to be getting worse. Now I get a variety of symptoms. Sometimes the led on the gimbal alternates red and green but there is no...

    Intermittent camera failure

    For about the last week, I have been having intermittent camera failures with my P3P. The camera will be fine when I take off but then I get intermittent image freezes and finally a black screen with the DJI logo. It isn't an out-of-range problem because the bird doesn't even need to be in the...

    What do you guys charge for aerial media?

    Jeiel, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for this helpful advice. It makes a lot of sense to me and gives me a lot to think about as I pursue my interest in non-flying landscape photography. It is great to have someone who has been there warn of potential pitfalls. Joe

    P3 Firmware Updated remote to 1.4.3 and it unpaired from drone

    I just updated my remote to the new 1.4.3 firmware through using the DJI Go app. I powered the remote off and on. I powered on my Phantom 3 Professional and got blinking yellow lights. According to the manual, that means it can't find a remote. The DJI Go app was still saying "no signal." I...

    I'm sorry I'm tired of the tilted horizon

    It is unchanged for me after the firmware update, cold IMU calibration, gimbal calibration and compass calibration. I do appreciate that they made the gimbal tilt adjustment persistent. At least that lets me have it closer to start. Since the same issue exists on the $3000 Inspire, I'm not...

    So happy with new Go App and 1.3.2 firmware

    I noticed that the new app and firmware will save the gimbal tilt adjustment. Previously, you had to re-enter it every time the drone was power cycled. I can leave it set at -1.0 and at will be close. I may need to fine tune in the air or after a yaw but it gives a better starting point than...

    Shutting down the motors mid-air

    Being new to the Phantom, I had been wondering the same thing. Thanks.

    I'm sorry I'm tired of the tilted horizon

    The fish eye distortion is more due to the short focal length (wide angle) lens. It is the equivalent of a 20mm lens on a 35mm camera which would also cause considerable geometric distortion. For stills, the program Lightroom has profiles for a huge number of lenses so that it can correct...

    Flying in Bangkok

    I spent a holiday on Koh Lanta Yai. It was absolute paradise and the resort (Andalay Boutique Resort) was wonderful. I hope I can return some day. I'd love to see any video you shoot on the islands. Video of Lanta will remind me of a great vacation. Video of the other islands will help me decide...

    I'm sorry I'm tired of the tilted horizon

    Assuming you have already done the IMU calibration and gimbal calibration, the only thing left is the gimbal adjustment setting. Unfortunately it isn't retained when the Phantom is powered off. I have made that part of my pre-flight procedure and I check it again in the air before shots where I...

    I'm sorry I'm tired of the tilted horizon

    Sorry to be slow responding. I didn't notice the reply. I've never noticed the artifacts from the tablet while streaming. It is only when I pull out the SD card and view it on a 4K projector. I haven't done any processing to the video. I am viewing exactly what was recorded. I have tried 4K 30...

    Software to reduce compression artifacts?

    I did find a clip taken facing north on a heavily overcast day (which should make shadows unlikely) that has some very obvious pulsing brightness in the trees and grass while the road right next to them is steady. I could post it somewhere if that would be helpful. I'm mainly interested in...
