    On the Road (and in the air) With Ralph

    Sorry you are having a problem, RK1. It is a simple link to YouTube. It works ok on my iPhone and on my desktop computer.

    On the Road (and in the air) With Ralph

    I've created a YouTube channel for my short travelogue videos of interesting places that are primarily based on video from Phantom 3 Advanced flights. You can check them out here: On the Road with Ralph

    Huh. Good catch. Has this been reported to DJI?

    On the Road with Ralph: Citrus Groves in Riverside

    Riverside, California's citrus industry was established in the 1870s and once occupied thousands of acres within the city limits. Today, a state park commemorates that history and preserves a part of its beautiful landscape. For the record, all flights for this video began and ended on private...

    VIDEO: How to remove new Phantom 3 OEM Camera Lens...

    I did the the same thing on my P3A - except that I took advantage of the rubberized inner ring on the motor tool and used friction from it, rather than pressure, to loosen the protective filter. Since it was freed the first time, I have had no need to use the tool again.

    Average flights & hours before disaster

    Just flew my 50th mission on a Phantom 3 Advanced. About 10 hours flight time, over 100 miles traveled. With the exception of a stupid pilot error that chipped a couple blades, it has flown perfectly. I'll also note that I inspect the Phantom before every flight, and that I have a 30-second...

    Altizure 3-D Mapping

    Processing is done in Altizure's cloud - you upload the images to their server. They have a free level (the scene I shared on this thread was done at the free level) that is pretty generous, tho gimped in a couple minor ways. You can upgrade at your discretion to a professional level. I am...

    Official DJI Phantom 3 car charger

    Everybody's mileage varies. :-) And for what it is worth, I have a portable power pack with a 20 amp battery and a 300W inverter on it. Just yesterday, I used it to recharge a Phantom 3 battery with a car charger plugged into its 12v socket (again, more efficient). But the option to use a...

    Altizure 3-D Mapping

    I used it on my iPad mini 2 and it worked just fine.

    Official DJI Phantom 3 car charger

    I've said this in other posts, but I will say again here: A direct car charger is a significantly more efficient, less complicated, less expensive (unless it is DJI's) and potentially less damaging solution, than using the combination of an inverter and the wall charger. Why is that? Because a...

    Anyone in Palm Springs, La Quinta area flying ...

    I might mention that the wildflower bloom has begun - there is a lot of yellow along Route 62 on the way up to the High Desert from I-10, amidst the wind turbines. I was thinking there was some video opportunities there.

    Computer suggestions for editing 4k

    I think you'll love it. The Mac Pro is other-worldly, but I think the Retina iMac is the best value in 4K editing. Good move on the fusion drive and GPU.
