    Hit a tree, fell 50ft and survived!

    Believe me, I've hit my fair share of stuff in the early days, but now I make regular sacrifices to the drone gods and I really think it's paying off!

    Hit a tree, fell 50ft and survived!

    I was shooting a real estate job and was doing a pull out when I hit a tree and fell 50ft before SOMEHOW leveling off and stabilizing. I heard it and saw it go down and just instantly admitted defeat with that dread that washes over when you when your bird goes down, but then I heard it, the...

    DJI is pumping out repairs

    I had same experience. 3 weeks on first RMA and 10days on the last. Granted my first repair resulted in them sending me a new unit with a sub par camera which I complained about and they fixed within 10days. Overall I'm surprised at how well they can turn and burn these repairs without asking...

    Improve still picture quality

    The p3s camera for stills is mediocre at best. Fixed focal point being a big issue. I saw a post and the best settings for raw are auto, fixed white balance, log color and settings at -3, -2, -3. In post you can bring all color, saturation and sharpness out as much as possible. I shoot real...

    DOT/FAA Drone Reg Press Conference Live Stream

    There's a fee for everything that gets processed through a government agency so it wouldn't surprise me. Transponders seem the next step i think your right. But with a million drones already sold in the US I don't see how the government's going to be able to handle the overwhelming flood of...

    DOT/FAA Drone Reg Press Conference Live Stream

    Let's not forget about registration fees and an overloading of an already incompetent Motor vehicle department. I so look forward to my visit to the social cesspool that is the DMV. I understand Xmas will bring a spike in purchases, but this only furthers peoples interest. LOOK SQUIRREL! why...

    P3 Professional single shot, HDR and AEB little difference when processed

    Thanks guys. I've been mostly focusing on real estate photography and static houses obviously do not offer a lot of high contrast opportunities. Too bad the .7 stop is so minimal.

    P3 Professional single shot, HDR and AEB little difference when processed

    Anyone seen any major difference in HDR vs regular shots? I process all bracketing and HDR thru Photomatix and Lightroom and for the life of me all photos look the same, even when combined with the 3 or 5 AEB. Bracketed photos have difference exposure but just seems like theres little difference...
