Same here, I meant no offense to anyone. Irresponsible drone owners drive me crazy. I feel like every time I take off, people are looking at me as if I am one of them. I especially hate when morons make the news for flying near airports. Personally, I think if you are flying in the path of a...

You are misunderstanding.

Lol, I was flying far out and not at 2500ft altitude. I wasn't even above the peaks in the valley. 2500 feet is about 1/2 a mile. I did lose site when it was directly over head for a moment although I heard it.

That is exactly what I am thinking.

Well, the motor mounts do have cracks every where so I will start with the shell.

I had a scare today. I was flying my Phantom In The Hills hoping to get a time-lapse of the fog coming over the mountain when I received a warning on my screen telling me I had either a loose prop or missing prop. Well, since my drone did not tumble to the earth, I knew it wasn't a missing prop...

honestly, I have no idea why the photos are better when grabbed from the video editor. The other poster was correct and the file size is only about 4 megabytes. I have shot photos in both raw and jpeg and they do not come out nearly as crisp. Today if the wind dies down I am going to investigate...

True, but 99% of the time the camera in a drone is going to be set at infinity so depth of field is not as important. Sharpness is very important. Surprisingly, I have had better luck doing screen grabs through my videos than actually using the P3A camera. Not sure why but the quality is...

Good point, but for the average person, they will not mess around with the settings whatsoever. I may consider getting rid of my P3A and upgrade to the Mavic 2.

I have relatives from your part of the world who said the same thing about our coast. I bet yours is a little warmer. 70 degrees is a very warm summer day by our coast.

Well, its been over a year since I did the repair. The Phantom has a lot of flight time on it since and I have had no problems. I used the Gorilla Glue seen in my video and do not see anymore cracks. I applied a generous coating and if I remember correctly used two coats over the cracks. So far...

I have seen many side by side comparisons between the Phantom 3 advanced/pro and the most recent drones. I do not see any real difference between any of the videos. I have many flights on my advanced and have replaced one motor, but other than size, to me there is no point in upgrading. Anyway...

Same in America or 400 feet above buildings. I went about 200 feet above the trees which were about 600 feet above my house.

Got an additional thousand feet. Even though it is line of sight I usually start getting a lot of interference at 6000 feet.

Flew my Phantom 3A as far as it would go, then I put on the range extender and got about 1000 feet. Some nice scenery along the way.
