    GIVEAWAY: Phantom 4 (winner = lalvar40)

    I would suggest starting with the usual beginner guidelines similar to he resources published by DJI, in a more casual manner but more in-depth and with the insights of an experienced user. To be more specific here are the topics - Preflight checklist - Parameters for safe flights...

    will P3 advance will accept Gopro

    If you don't like the camera on the P3A you are likely not going to like the one on the P3P since it only adds resolution which, contrary to what most people believe, is not equal to image quality. You could probably dismount the gimbal of the P3 and add a zenmuse that supports a gopro, creating...

    Here's my thoughts on the future of cameras.

    Software stabilization will never be practical beyond the use of hobbyists, nothing can beat optical stabilization for pro uses especially because of the nature of optics, fisheyes introduce heavy distortion and warping that can only be corrected by heavily compromising on quality and...

    Cracks on p3p after only 15 flights, how to fix?

    Thanks for your inputs, given that I voided my warranty anyway and DJI likely never would have fixed it because of the crash I think I'll go the Plast-Aid route, I might just fill all four arms and this way it should balance alright, will see what type of plast aid alternatives I find locally, I...

    Cracks on p3p after only 15 flights, how to fix?

    Hi, this is my first forum post and I hope I can get some advice here. I am just getting started with drones and sadly my new phantom has already some cracks in one arm after only 15 flights. I had one minor crash when I attempted to land it on the roof of my car to avoid landing it on the dusty...

    Is 4k really that hard to deal with?

    I am on a 2013 15" retina MacBook Pro with nvidia gt 750 graphics and getting choppy playback of the native mov files, is that normal? They play fine if I transcode them but was expecting the machine to handle them otherwise, it is very speedy at handling other graphics related jobs but I am new...
