    Battery levels for transmitter storage

    It's just about to become winter in Pittsburgh and my P3P will be spending more time in storage than in the air. I am quite familiar with aircraft battery storage levels, but it's unclear how to store the transmitter battery level. Currently it's at 60% and asking for a recharge. Would this...

    Massive compass error at a steel mill. Help!

    Today I was able to gain access and permission to film at the Carrie Furnaces, a Pittsburgh historical landmark which is comprised of two idled steel blast furnaces.

    P3 Crappy Mobile Device Holder Replacement

    I absolutely love my P3 Professional, however, the crappy mobile device holder that comes with the remote has been driving me crazy. I have a $300 IPad mini shaking around on that plastic clip that makes me more nervous than the $1,200 bird. On a whim I ordered the Inspire 1 mobile device...

    When do you use ND8 and when do you use ND16 Filters?

    ND filters should be used when recording on bright days to give you smoother, more cinematic, video quality. A well setup camera should have a shutter speed that is double the frame rate. Therefore if you're shooting at 30 fps you should have a shutter speed of roughly 60. 24fps would be 48...
