Anyone know if you can fly at Tallgrass Prairie National Monument in Kansas?

Was in Montana flying over 6500 feet at -12 - -14 and just kept the spare batteries in my pocket with a hand warmer. Flew all three of my batteries without issue although my fingers were pretty cold since I flew barehanded to feel the sticks. Just put them in my other parka pocket to warm up for...

Your P3 made it all the way from China in less packing than a Nanuk case provides. Think they handled it with kid gloves? You get on a flight late with no space to put your P3 as carry on, it's going in the hold. Had a flight from Denver on a regional jet and they were gate checking almost...

I flew to Montana with my P3P in a Nanuk 950 in checked baggage with no issues. Had a TSA lock on it and a TrakDot tracker inside letting me know that it made it to Denver and then to Bozeman, Montana. With all the other film gear that I carried on, there was no way I could take the P3P on...

Did twice. It drifts with hands off and no wind. Re calibrated everything I could.

The couple flights I've taken since upgrading to 9.1 didn't have the video dropouts like I had before but updating the RC to the latest has caused my P3p to drift and not fly straight anymore

I'm using 9.0.2. Wasn't having any issues running iOS 9 until I upgraded the Phantom. So I guess there are still some issues to be ironed out.

Glad to know I'm not the only one after upgrading. I made sure everything was fully charged, had 17 sats locked in and clear line of site only about 50 feet away from my P3P and had video dropouts. The recorded video is fine so it's just the video feed from the P3P to the RC that is blinking...

I updated to the latest, greatest versions of firmware and software for the DJI Go app and my P3P and now I get a ton of video dropouts when I'm flying. Sometimes the video feed drops out when I'm only 50 feet away or so. It's pretty terrifying to be 1200 feet away and 300 feet up and the...

With such a wide angle of view on the Phantom, the moon won't look very super. I'm ditching the Phantom tonight for a camera and a 1200mm lens

Color correction is done in post most of the time. Most filmmakers shoot a flat look so that they can add the right amount of contrast and color correction. Something as simple as lowering the exposure in the blacks and increasing the saturation will make a world of difference.

Wow, that's freaky. Your orientation makes it look the water is flowing up instead of down. Only looks "right" when you do the180 at the platform. Guess I'm just not use to water flowing from the bottom to the top of the frame. :)
