    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    I have 2 kids and a wife with phones on the plan. I have a tablet (POS) they gave me when my wife got her iphone 5s :mad:. I actually need a new tablet, because the POS they gave me is near end of life. That is a big reason I'd prefer to not go apple, this tablet will also be my daily driver...

    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    If I go cellular, Verizon may be an option. The Mini2 is $229 with a 2 year contract for data I am already going to use (the 3 is $100 more). Just have to see how this works with all the other devices I have with them. May result in no real pain for me being tied into them . . .

    Just an FYI. The mini 3 is going to be $300 all weekend at Best Buy -- yet more signalling that a new mini is coming from apple. I am trying really hard to not buy one, I don't do apple either, but we'll see. The ASUS 580CA is interesting for $300, as is the recently announced Predator 8. I am...

    Panoramic Photography

    Totally agree about sticking with a workflow, that does make for efficiency. Lightroom still lacks layers, so you may not find it satisfying still. Since I learned in what I could afford (Lightroom) I still have to 'think' about layers. Good luck flying, and I hope you capture some amazing...

    Panoramic Photography

    Have you used Lightroom much recently? It has way more power than it used to have back in the PS3 days. I prefer it over using bridge, plus it is a better catalog. I do all my quick edits, taking advantage of the non-destructive nature. From there, if needed, I push it to a plug-in or PS for...

    Panoramic Photography

    I have Adobe CC Photog plan and I love it. Lightroom is easy to learn, and while Photoshop is more difficult to learn in and out, I find it easy to learn how to do 'things'. There are more free Photoshop tutorials out there than you can shake a stick at. Read around the net and you will get...

    Amazing 360x180 P3P Panoramic from 500ft above my house

    I am struggling to get a sphere view. I have taken all the single shots, and used Lightroom to merge. I have a nice strip pano of my shot (some stitching errors), but I cannot turn it into a spherical pano. I exported a JPG from Lightroom and uploaded to Google views, but just the flat pano was...

    Just getting caught up on this thread. Funny thing is Washington Crossing Park liked my post on Instagram of some aerial footage of their park. Ooops.

    One advantage of B&H, unless you live in NY, you will not pay sales tax. Their shipping is very fast and their customer service is excellent. They delivered my P3P to my front door in 16 hours from the time I pressed the order button, free delivery. Unless I need to have it that day, I order...

    Pursuing a refund - Flyaway not found...

    Good result for you. I vote that you get a new one. To paraphrase Garp, "the chances of another fly-away are astronomical. You've been pre-disastered." Of course if you remember the outcome, YOUCH!

    Since the Pilot app seems to be such a resource hog, I'm wondering if the extra 2GB of memory will give more stable performance over time.
