    Just got new P3P today has old motors what should I do?

    Does anyone even give a **** about new vs old motors? My first P3P had new motors. My new on has old motors. (Just had to get up and check! lol) There is zero difference between the two.

    P3S vs P3A vs P3P Comparison

    Makes you wonder what else DJI can unlock in software. 120mbps bit rate? 4k60? I wish!

    2 Month Old P3A: My pain continues...

    Haha, bought my first one from CR Kennedy and second from Drone Dr! Figured CR Kennedy was a grey importer given the $300 cheaper price. I know Drone DR source them through EE Hobbies. CR K I'm not so sure about....

    DJI: New P3A Purchaser AFRAID to Fly!

    My tips: 1) open field, limit your obstacles. 2) First time taking off, lift off cleanly to at least 5-10 meters altitude. Try not to panic when it lifts off and bring it back down. 3) once at height, slowly experiment with each stick. Left, right, back, forward. Then try combinations of...

    Buying P3P in Australia or from China?

    It is when you crash em! Lol. Both those prices are pretty good. Especially the pro if that includes an extra battery and a hardshell bag. I was going to get the advanced but 4k recording is simply amazing. I knew if I bought the advanced, I'd regret not spending the few extra clams. But...

    Buying P3P in Australia or from China?

    I've bought one on eBay from China and my second one from local retailer in Aus. First one from China crashed and it was a potential fly away/loss of control case that had I have purchased locally, I would have followed it through with the retailer and tried as hard as I could for a warranty...

    Sydney Australia video

    So suggesting someone not fly a drone, potentially in the path of a passenger carrying helo, in a HIGHLY DOCUMENTED restricted area, makes me a "do gooder"? Drone pilots have a bad enough rep without people blatantly breaking the law and boasting about it on a public forum.

    Sydney Australia video

    Are you serious dude?? So because DJI say it's fine, Australian Aviation Legislation get a over ruled? You need to not post up BS. Sydney Harbour IS 100% a no fly zone. No ********. Its written in law. Your little DJI map is cute but 100% incorrect. Did I mention I work for The Civil...

    Sydney Australia video

    Actually I'm not wrong at all. Sydney Airport isn't the only airport in the area. There's numerous Helicopter Landing Sites in the area which all have the 3nm exclusion zone, not to mention, the majority of the area is a restricted Civil Aviation no fly zone. Actually, most of Sydney is a...

    Sydney Australia video

    Nice video mate. But I'd be taking it down as you're within the 5km exclusion zone of about 6 or 7 airports. In particular, Sydney International. The busiest airport in Australia. Over water and under 400ft doesn't mean anything when your within the boundary of an airport. Ballsy though!

    What have I done wrong here? (Camera advice)

    Looking though todays footage, I noticed that Im getting quite a lot of pixelation or compression in my video. Havent got it in any previous videos (well, a little bit but I know the camera does have limitations) If you look in the bushy area to the left, it almost looks like a very low...

    P3S vs P3A vs P3P Comparison

    As I said, I know they can all do 1080. I'm just saying, for video, I would prefer to shoot in 1080 as opposed to 2.7k for the reasons I've already stated. Having said that, I think the Pro camera is superior to the standard camera because it can also do 4k. I shoot in 4k for the same reason I...

    Insurance Claim Accepted Yahoo!!!

    Im in Australia FunN4Io, and my deductible (we call it an Excess) is $100. So well worth it!

    P3S vs P3A vs P3P Comparison

    Yeah I know they can, that's why I'm saying I'd prefer 1080p over 2.7k. Why mess around with an oddball resolution like 2.7? 1080 will playback on most screens natively. 2.7k will require re-endcoding. Camera on the Pro kills the Standard purely for the option of recording in UHD as UHD screens...

    P3S vs P3A vs P3P Comparison

    I had the standard for about 3 days before I purchased the pro. Pro is in a different league to the standard. I could barely hit 500m on the S. Out of the box, I got the P to 3800m completely stock. Camera on the Pro kills the Standard. Who wants 2.7k??? I'd rather 1080p as it can be...
