I cant seem to post a video...photo only...thoughts?

I'll try to post a video..:thanks!

Reposting this with a new subject line as I expected more responses to my holy **** situation) Let me start off saying this was USER error and not a DJI issue. I've done many videos of rural areas (lakes, natural bridges, etc) with great success and no issues with the P3P whatsoever. Yesterday...
