    Please some one give me some tips for flying Phantom 3 standard indoors.

    Indoor flying, especially with the Standard is insane. It doesn't have the bells and whistles the Pro and Advanced do. It'll be Atti mode the whole time, more than likely. You'll be fighting it the whole time. Not worth the risk to people or your drone.

    New P3S: should I upgrade firmware?

    i've had one problem - and for some reason the Controller and Bird weren't connected, after I was done. Simple steps to reconnect them, and I was up and away again.

    Bought a new battery this weekend, and did a firmware download....

    I checked it last night, and it was working. Who knows. I'm looking in to getting a tablet. The only thing holding me back is finding something to hold it. Thanks for all the great input.

    Not sure where to look for that. I have v2.7.0. I deleted and reloaded it, as well.

    Bought a new battery this weekend, and did a firmware download....

    But now when I'm in DJIGo app, I can't change the video settings. I can change everything else. But when I try to set the video, to 2.7K, or 1080p, it hoses up, sits there for a while, then the app quits. Suggestions?

    Notify FAA??

    I'm lucky, and my neighbors are all pretty cool. they'll come out and watch, and not give me too much grief. I have a nice little greenbelt with a creek, close by that keeps me from flying over houses.

    Any way to fit the p3 standard remote in v1 hardshell?

    I'll have to try that. That would be an easy solution. I can't figure out how to get it in there, either, without having to cut the foam.

    Flying gridded flightlines

    It could be done - but I would think it would take quite a while to input. Each second would have to be a waypoint, I would think.

    Can I still make money without a commercial licence on private land ?

    Exactlty. I think all anyone was really trying to point out how ambiguous the regulation is. Now - there's all kinds of "legal" ways around it. Maybe the School District, or an Teacher has applied for it, and received it. You can cover anyone under the single Exemption. That's how a lot of...

    Can I still make money without a commercial licence on private land ?

    It was just this past training camp. The rule was in effect. They just assumed since they were using it to only film practice, they didn't have to have the exemption. Makes sense, right? They weren't selling the footage, just using it afterwards. But it was used to further their commercial...

    Can I still make money without a commercial licence on private land ?

    The simple answer to this is "how much is it worth it to you?" The analogy to murder was simply - the law is the law, regardless of where it is broken. Technically, if someone hires you and you film the front of his store, even if you do it for free, and he uses that footage to promote his...
