It's all very vague - some of the terms are never clearly defined. What does it man for a building to be 'under your control?' If you walked up to a building and told it very sternly to stay exactly where it was and not move at all, and it did exactly what you told it to, then is that building a...

A Phantom is not a model aircraft, it's a small but full size one.

Amazon UK has this set - more expensive than ebay, but it evens out if you take the postage into account.

Take a look at DronePan

If you could control the Yaw, you'd see the phantom's legs as soon as you turned the camera. The solution is simple though - turn the whole drone not just the camera!

It might be easier to find a watchmaker who will certify this clock is not capable of flying?

If you're a student (or if you work in education), then DJI may give you a hefty education discount.

Thanks... so there are still a problems with this mode, it doesn't work if you are less than 5m from home. I guess this also means you can't stay in this mode permanently because you can't take off in it? Or do I have to set 'home' then move 5m on the ground to get the machine to behave as expected?

That's what I wanted to know, thanks! I'm a lot more comfortable knowing the controls won't swap round of their own accord if I fly to a particular place.

Where I live, it's illegal not to have it in sight at all times... I guess I'm just trying to understand the terminology, I'm used to what Syma call 'headless mode', where pushing the sick away makes the drone fly away, pulling the stick closer makes the drone move closer. If I can make the...

I bought a really cheap Syma drone to learn with, and that can easily be switched between modes, so I assumed the P3S could be too. I wasn't planning on letting anyone else fly mine, and my left hand is much more dextrous (sorry to any etymologists reading this), so I'd prefer the direction...

I got the information from this video: Thanks, that's good news if it means I can put the controls where I want them to be, rather than choosing from a couple of 'modes'.

A couple of quick questions that I can't seem to find answers to by searching the forum. Can I set IOC permanently? In other words have DJI fixed the problem with it not taking off in OCC and losing IOC if it gets within 10m that I have read about? Is there a list of remote controller 'modes'...

Glad to read that this didn't confuse the downward sensors!

Thanks, that makes sense. It might be a UK only thing, but I'm seeing P2, P2 & H3-3D and P2 & H4-3D at £295, £449 and £449 respectively in the DJI web shop.
