"I wasn't aware I was somewhere I'm not supposed to be" isn't really a valid excuse. It is your responsibility to know whether you're operating legally or not, and it isn't as if national parks are some top secret thing. Presumably you have an Internet connection if you're posting here which...

It actually makes sense, the quad normally does all of the processing for the sensors to make it fly. Why duplicate that functionality on the remote or app when you've already built it once for the quad? Also this makes sure that there's no differences between the firmware on the quad and the...

This is really cool, thanks for sharing.

Watch all of the DJI P3 tutorial videos, then read the manual again, then repeat one more time when it arrives. Worked for me so far :) Most of all: enjoy and fly safe :)

Good glad to hear in the end everything worked out

Link goes to the same battery I purchased which arrived yesterday as a genuine DJI battery as well.

Well I have bad news for @mikecorn1 and good news for everyone else (and myself): I got what appears to be a completely genuine battery from the same seller. I won't have an opportunity to fly for a few days so I haven't charged it yet, but it turns on okay and all the markings seem to be...

Same, I think I'll have it tomorrow

The video that DJI put out for their 3/1 announcement seems to show a new Phantom, or at least some sort of quadcopter with curved lines very similar to a Phantom. Seems like an elaborate thing to together if that's not what they plan on announcing.

Of course, I held off ordering a battery until they were down to $125 again on Amazon so it only makes sense they'd drop a few more dollars a day after I ordered one.

I'm about as far into Python as you, a little more time but probably not much more knowledge. My experience has mostly been in other languages in the past but I recently found another project that interested me that was written in Python, and I've found that I really like it as a language so I...

Any thoughts of sharing source and making it a community effort? I love healthydrones for what they've done for the community, but something like a log file viewer is practically begging to be an open source project. When I first thought of trying to figure out the log files I imagined a...

Looks great so far What platform are you making it for? I've been thinking about making one myself just haven't had time to start work on it yet.

Oh wow that's awesome, thank you for the responses. I have lots more reading to do now. Thank you again.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching but I don't even know if vertical panoramas is necessarily the right word to use. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried stitching together a bunch of pictures taken with the camera pointing straight down. I'm thinking of something like an...
