    2 x Phantom 3 Advanced P3A 2.7k camera / gimbal (almost good)

    I have 2 camera / gimbals for a P3A $200 each 1st one: Current firmware Video works fine. Gimbal looks good, but something does not seem perfect. If I have the P3 on a table in front of me, looking at the front (looking into the camera) If I tilt the P3 to the left a lot, the camera holds...

    P3A gimbal thrashing bouncing (after new OEM ribbon cable)

    Had a few min late this afternoon to mess with this... As suggested, pulled the back plate, loosened the shaft enough to rotate it so the flat side was level with the camera. Bit of pressure to reseat the shaft. Assembled enough to test, and the thing powered up, did the happy dance, and...

    When the gimbal separated, I was in the Turks & Caicos islands. So I rush purchased another camera / gimbal and my wife brought it to me the following week. That of course worked fine. The problems are just with trying to resurrect the original gimbal. The original problem was a separated...

    Most appropriate video editing software

    OK, lets see where this goes. I've been using Wondershare Filmora for the past 6 months. (Running on a Windows 2003 server)(and Win XP on a laptop while I travel and do videos) I'm not a "video guy" and this was just easy to get, install, and I'm pretty happy with what I've been getting...

Averaged a couple flights/day. and 90% of those were over open water, some from boats. Tons of video that I just love! As others have said, calibrate on a...

    POI, waypoints, follow me on September 7!

    Is this saying the Phantom 3 Advanced will get 2.7K video with only a firmware upgrade? or should we assume new Advance units will ship with a diff camera capable of 2.7K?

    P3 motor shaft movement?

    This might be a hard question to answer, but... I have a P3A, and I can feel a very slight side to side movement in the motor shaft. Not enough to see. But if I grab the top part of the motor and rock it side to side, I can definitely feel the play in there. Is this something I need to replace...
