I can't help but think something when I read this... What if it had hit that surfer? Did you know him and ask if he minded you filming near him? If not, that's really irresponsible to just active track a random person with a malfunctioning drone. Seems to me this could've ended much worse...

I hold the remote in one hand and catch it with the other hand. Then I just hold the throttle fully down for a few seconds until the motors switch off. You definitely don't need to put it in the dirt, and it's nice to have the remote in hand so you can cut the engine off immediately. It doesn't...

I believe I had the same problem you describe. I plugged my phantom charger in and even overnight (12 hours) it still wouldn't hold a charge. Thw lights would blink like it was charging but as soon as I'd unplug it and try to turn it on, nothing. The battery wouldn't even light up when I pressed...

Thanks again, i now have a much clearer picture (no pun intended) of how to interpret the histogram window. I truly appreciate the information.

Glad you understood even with my incorrect description, meant histogram. I was shooting auto but I'll switch and do more research on the settings for manual. Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Thanks again! If you don't mind me asking... The aperature window you can open in the DJI app... The idea is to have all the peaks in the middle? I've read one thing saying middle, another saying to the right... Would you happen to know the answer?

Thanks for the information. I was definitely over exposed and I'm purchasing nd filters. I'm assuming the suns reflection on the water makes that necessary. I have since adjusted my shutter speed to twice my frame rate and I'll see the results soon. Thanks for helping I really appreciate it!

Thanks for replying! I just checked the speed of the other card I used. It's an old toshiba and only writes at 5mb a second. Would this not make a difference? Camera settings were the same for all the clips but it seemed to me that the sandisk extreme that came with it captured much better...

Thank you for that link! Answers my memory card question and many more as well. I really appreciate you putting in the time to making such an informative list! That's an invaluable resource for p4p noobs such as myself, again, thanks!

I practiced for a year before making the jump. Started with a hubsan x4 for 6 months, then syma x5 for another 6. I'm pretty confident in my piloting ability or else i wouldn't be doing this. Living so close to the beautiful coast, it'd be a shame to not get footage of it.

Yes it is. I'm assuming Sandisk Extreme is the way to go? Thanks for the quick response.

Hello everyone, and thanks for the wealth of information on this forum. I just got my p4p a few days ago, and I love it! Been taking some videos and trying my hand at the editing process. I'm getting mixed results from my video. I'm thinking it's overexposure and a crappy video card. The...
