    Control Gopro from the ground?

    4wd, thought so. Appreciate the confirmation. A buddy suggested changing the time lapse interval to 5 seconds instead of 2 for stills. Now I can preview. That was 80% of my needs, so I'm happy. Thanks

    Control Gopro from the ground?

    This may be a dumb question. I had a P2v+ until I hit a construction crane with it and killed the camera/gimbal. It worked well, had great integrated feature for my photography. But I longed for better image quality. I then bought a P2 with the H3 gimbal. I use it with a black pearl and hero...

    You didn't ask me about the video fix app, but I used Grau Gmbh successfulle on a DJI P2V+ file that was corrupted by turning off the P2V+ while still recording.

    Thanks Morgon and Srandall. I will check into Naza mode. Much to learn and too little time.

    Failsafe mode altitude question.

    I'm very new to Phantoms, but wanted to mention what mine did yesterday. I was flying much higher than a rookie had any business doing, probably 100'. I lost the ability to see which end was front, and the video was hard to see in the sun. It was 100' up and maybe 200' feet away. I panicked...

    Firemen save my Phantom

    Very cool of them. Lunch would be a great way to say thank you and would be most appropriate.
