    Waiting, waiting down under...

    I decided to order mine through Riseabove in Sydney. I prefer local support for any repair/warranty. They also offered $100 store credit with the order, which I'll probably spend on ND filters when they become available.

    First timer

    I recommend you buy a small cheap quad, like a Hubsan X4 (with prop guards), and practice flying with something that won't make you cry when you crash it.

    What would you do?

    Mavic, no contest. It also won't scare the farm animals as much as a big noisy P4.

    Any Way To Use iPad Mini With Mavic?

    There's always a way. My Nvidia Shield is set up as a dedicated drone tablet and I'd really like to keep using it with the Mavic controller. I'm attaching an iphone sized plate to the back of my tablet. Voila, problem solved with 1 plastic plate and some double-sided tape - couldn't be easier.

    Pre-orders & Shipping Times Thread

    Pre ordered mine from Rise Above in Sydney, they estimate shipping in early November. I'm another Mavic pre-buyer with a P3P for sale :)

    monocle FPV?

    Yes, Adam's viewfinder was what started me looking for a monocle alternative that I could simply plug into my shield tablet. Ideally, something affordable and something that doesn't make me look like I'm into borg-bondage.

    Use Vertical Studio to focus the camera on the ship while you fly around it.

    monocle FPV?

    Yes, but it's the closest I can find and it seems like a great idea. Hoping someone might suggest a better option.

    monocle FPV?

    I fly a phantom 3 pro with connected nvidia shield and am looking for a monocle FPV that I can plug into the hdmi output of the nvidia shield. Any suggestions and/or experiences welcome. I found this: 78 Inch FPV Monocular Head Mounted Micro-display Monitor

    Ebay is flooded with P3's for sale! P4 apparently a hit

    Great, spare parts for my P3P just got cheaper too :D I use Litchi and Vertical Studio for P4-like mission and object tracking functions. Forward collision detection might be useful for new flyers, but learning to fly around obstacles is handy too. The P4 redundant IMU and compass sounds pretty...

    My P3P takes less than 3 minutes to descend from 500M.

    I'm willing to donate in support of options to remove FW distance/height/area restrictions (physical barometer hack is not ideal). Please add me to any support list.
