    Bracketing - all images identical?

Set it up for 7-shot bracketing...sent it up in the sky for a nice sunset shot...pressed the 'take picture' button on the app...and got home to find 7 identical images (I checked bot...

    POLL: Average age of a Phantom flyer

    44 - and only got into quadcopters a few months ago. Built a 250...really enjoyed building it but oh what a sensitive soul it is to fly! Plumped for a P3 and been very happy ever since. Had an RC plane before - crashed it on seconf flight...and a few Tamiya RC car kits back in me twenties.

    Help Help Help!!

    So....am I right in thinking that as long as you have "Ready to fly - GPS" green on your app this means it has captured the home point succesfully (and so should RTH if it loses TX signal)?

    Temporary gimbal guard - Any ideas?

    I got this one - which I am really happy with - seen a few other forum users with the same one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161715349212?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    droningon lens cover

    I have the droningon lens cover/gimbal lock - best design I've seen - really happy with it. Worth the few extra pounds/dollars.

    Built-in HDR vs. Exposure Bracketing and post-production HDR

    Great - thanks for the advice. I only have PS Elements which unfortunately doesnt have the HDR feature that the full version does. That said I have found some free HDR compositing software online. I have taken a few HDR photos at dusk with the P3 and was really quite unimpressed with the...

    Built-in HDR vs. Exposure Bracketing and post-production HDR

    Hi - just wondered if anyone had done some like-for-like comparisons between taking a photo in HDR mode vs. taking the same photo using exposure bracketing and then creating the HDR in post production? Just wondering what gives better results?

    Best lens cap/gimbal lock I have found

    PS yes I have done this twice now! My other particular favourite is going somewhere specifically to fly/film on a great day....getting a fantastic sequence of shots....then coming home to look at the footage...only to watch 3 seconds of my own feet. Guess I pressed the record button twice then...

    Best lens cap/gimbal lock I have found

    Sorry I don't mean to 'gush' - just believe in sharing a 'good find' :). I live in the UK - as does the supplier. Can you buy replacement dampers yet? Or are you stuck with the spares you get in the box? I havent owned any previous Phantoms - are they same as used on the P2+?
