Welcome! :sunglasses:

Bugger... Could be worse, kind of: I raved about my P3P at work and convinced a good mate to buy one. A few weeks later and he still hasn't gotten it into the air, but not for want of trying. We do fly in fly out - me to Perth, him to Cairns. Unfortunately I can't even rock around his place and...

Another one, but NOR. Here's a P3P shot from Busselton back in March.

I prefer flying over water, or near water. That way, if I get into any trouble and lose control, there's less chance of harm to people or property. I presume you want to capture photo and video - hey, why else would you have a Phantom? Advice is given on that basis... Any coastal areas in...

I took my P3P through Perth customs on a flight to Singapore earlier this year without any issue. From Singapore I travelled in and out of Indonesia via ferry, also without issue, and finally, out of Singapore back home. It was actually anticlimactic and even a little bit disappointing to not...

It's a beautiful drive; I've done it a few times now. A word of warning - it can get really windy, especially the Western half of the Eyre Peninsula and along the Great Australian Bight. Safe and happy travels!

Another one from Perth. :sunglasses: I work in the Eastern Goldfields, so I'm planning on bringing my (2 week old) P3P out here to do some sunrise / sunset stuff before and after work too.
