I thought that FAA regulations specify that one has to keep their drone within line of sight of the operator. I might be wrong about this but just throwing it out there. I have seen another video on this sight where a guy was chasing sea gulls with his drone and thought it was ok because he...

My bird went into atti mode when I started to fly under a small bridge over a creek. I immediately pulled it back out and tried to give it altitude but it went sideways and bumped the top of a fence post but did not crash and I hand snatched it out of the air. Only time I have ever hit...

I recently got a p3s and have flown it a couple of dozen times. If I am not mistake, don't FAA regulations specify that the copter has to remain in line of sight. When my bird gets over a hundred yards away it is very difficult for me to see it. My point is that I don't see the advantage of...

Will Adobe premier pro cc run on Windows 10? From what I have seen it will only run on Windows 7 and 8. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

I thought I would use the drone for mostly still pictures but am finding that videos are a lot more fun. The problem now is to find a video editor for a Windows pc that can handle .mov and .mp4 files and 1080p or 2.7k resolution. All the free editors that I have downloaded and tried really...

I always cancel poi by flipping the s1 switch all the way up to P mode and have never had any problems. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

I format my sd card in the Dji go camera app. Tap on the little wrench icon and you will find a format sd card function. Of course you will need to have the copter turned on and linked to the rc. Not sure if you screwed it up permanently by formatting it outside of the drone camera. If so...

Sounds like I should go with an iPad mini cellular version. The iPhone6 works fine but the Dji app has just to busy of a screen for that size device. I am seventy years old and even with reading glasses it is very difficult to see especially on a bright sunny day. Thanks for the replies...

I have a new p3s and am using an iphone6 to connect to the rc. It is almost impossible to read. I bought a shade device and have to wear reading glasses to see it but am still having trouble reading it. I have an older ipad2 that I am thinking about trying. Will this work with the p3...

Looks good. I bought one that looks similar. It helped a little but it is still hard for me to read the cell phone screen in bright day light. Think I will start flying in early morning or late afternoon and see if that helps. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Couple of dozen flights with no crashes or tip overs. On my third flight I almost crashed into a tree because the drone was flying towards me and I tried to steer the drone left but it went right because the stick orientation is reversed when the drone is flying towards you instead of away...

I guess I will need to add a lanyard connection test to my pre flight check list. I walk around a lot not holding the rc unit and rely a lot on the lanyard. I worry enough about the copter crashing. I don't want to worry about the rc unit crashing as well! Sent from my iPad using...

I am a new P3s owner. I heard a lot about the intelligent flight modes like point of interest, way points, etc. but couldn't figure out how to initiate these functions. I eventually figured it out by searching YouTube videos. This post is to let people know that you can test these...

Not sure if you have a lanyard (strap that goes around your neck and connects to the rc unit) but this can help prevent dropping the rc in the future. Got mine from Amazon. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
