    Second Remote for P4... Options?

    Not sure what you want to accomplish by adding a second remote. The second remote could be used as a backup in the event the other one goes bad. Wouldn't accomplish anything to extend the range though. The remote autoscans to find the best signal. Not sure if it keeps scrambling to find the best...

    Video recording issues

    Today was a little foggy when I flew my DJI phantom 3 advanced. When I flew it the video quality was so so. Then I tilted the camera down to get a close up shot of some of the orange trees and the colors were real vivid. When I panned back up the colors were so so. Would a filter have solved...

    How many people have never had a crash?

    Yep. Just the other day my plane got eaten by a tree. Had to climb down an embankment to get it. Now I really avoid the trees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ND filters ND8&16 CP or not

    I agree. Normally I am a filter fan for a regular camera so I was excited to see that they offered filters for the phantom. I was not very impressed with the polar filters. I only used the CP. I didn't bother with the rest of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Some weird things are going on with this thing.

    So today I decided to fly my phantom after a tree ate my airplane. Wasn't having the best luck with RC equipment today. At any rate, I went through the usual start up process and no weird occurrences. The DJI flew like it should. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    On the Road with Ralph: Citrus Groves in Riverside

    I was just there today with my flight club. I was inspired to try and do some of the stuff you had in your video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Some weird things are going on with this thing.

    I'll have to check out the values. The thing flies find and doesn't seem to behave erratically. I did have an episode recently where it was flying and shifting between Attitude mode and GPS mode. Didn't seem to bother it too much. The calibration error I got was right after I had a...

    Some weird things are going on with this thing.

    Thanks for the info. I did a cold IMU calibration. The first time I picked a cold night and left it outside for 30 minutes. Fired it up according to the directions and it stayed on 10% calibration for an hour. Force closed the app and went it and ran the IMU calibration and it calibrated in less...

    I've only had the product for about 2 1/2 weeks so I can always exchange it. The mod values under the sensors jump between 1400-1600. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flying around downtown San Diego

    The video is nice. There r a lot of no nos In that video. I remember reading one article about a guy who posted an ad in Craigslist for his drone services. Got a notice from the FAA about it. Another one posted a video on YouTube and heard from the FAA about that one. Sent from my iPhone...

    Some weird things are going on with this thing.

    When I first bought the P3A, I took it out on its maiden flight. When I started the app, I would get a message stating that the IMU was warming up. This would go on for 5-10 minutes until I force closed the app and went back into it and it went away. I calibrated the IMU from a cold state and...

    Really conflicted about this thing

    I think the most frustrating part is all the imposed restrictions in my area. When I initially flew it in a park, not knowing I had any restrictions, it didn't seem to bother anyone except for the police. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Really conflicted about this thing

    I was super excited to order my Phantom 3 Advanced. I'm conflicted as to whether or not I want to keep it. Initially I had plans to take lots of videos. Then I found out that my city and neighboring cities are banning them from public places after I flew it in my local park. Some of the...

    Anti-Glare screen covers question

    Ha. Just posted something similar to your posting on Sunday. I can't see what I am recording. I had to go inside my car to see the screen. Thought it might be my eyes so the others that I was flying with told me that they couldn't see it either. I was even using a hood with it which was a...
