    Why does my video seem choppy and skips.

    What media player are you trying to play it with? My 2016 Macbook Pro is only a basic 13" version and that plays 4K just fine with Quicktime but VLC player is just a choppy mess :)

    Worth buying the upgrades

    If you want more brittle props then go for it ;) The stock ones can bend and take a few chips and scuffs to the edges and are just about still usuable,you clip a carbon reinforced one just right and it will snap.

    Worth buying the upgrades

    When I had my standard Phantom 2 I bought some extended height legs that I thought at the time were DJI items but turned out to be cheap plastic rubbish ;) Call me a snob (no,please do :) ) but unless it is an "official" product or looks like it is of a decent quality AND adds something that I...

    Getting going with Phantom 3 Standard

    As suggested if you take off manually just go for it! Start the motors and then just go straight up,dont try and do it smoothly as you will start to feel ground effect,the air being pushed down by the props bounces back up off the ground and interferes with the stability. Also when it comes to...

    p3 standard going haywire

    Have you tried recalibrating the controller in the first instance? Unlikely but a possibility is you might have changed "modes" on the controller somehow. Mode 2 operation is usually the "norm" I believe for out of the box Phantoms but you may have changed it to mode 1 without realising although...

    My last 24hrs of Phanton 2 ownership

    It will be sold by this time tomorrow one way or another,hopefully. Good learning tool if nothing else but I have got more interest in building quads etc these days instead of RTF ones. It has been fun and I have taken some pretty good video,all without major mishap. Onwards and upwards as they...

    Zenmuse H3-3D GCU V2 to Phantom 2

    There is more than one version of the H3-3D,not that they make it that obvious :) The one you have with the GCU V2 is for something like the DJI Flamewheel 450 and F550,those versions dont have the anti interference board but DO have the GCU V2. The Phantom 2 versions come with the anti...

    ND Filter to suit GP3+BE and H3-3D

    I got this one http://polarprofilters.com/shop/neutral ... ter-hero33 Had issues with prop shadows making lines on the video when filming even slightly towards sun. This did the trick but I wouldn't leave it on all the time though as it is quite dark if you just hold it up and look through it.

    Powering GoPro with Phantom or not?

    The only reason I did the mod was due to the interference I was getting. For some reason as well the interference on the Gopro 4 is way worse than it was on the Gopro 3+

    GoPro4 setup compatibility?

    Leave those plastic pins out altogether. On mind I have a couple of cable ties loosely through the front two dampers. Your gimbal is probably going bonkers cause there is no Gopro attached,it is expecting the weight to be more than it is and it cant balance without the Gopro attached.

    GoPro4 setup compatibility?

    I flew manual for a few seconds the other week and almost crashed! I was quite high,I started to move slowly forward and as I went forward the quad leaned more and more forward till the point were it virtually dive bombed towards the ground! Luckily I was high enough to have time to flick it...
