Surprised by all this full stick down definitely stops the Phantom motors talk. The Phantom is programmed to descend at no more than 3 meters per second full stick down (mainly to stop it from entering Vortex Ring State I believe). I come down at full stick down from almost every flight...

As to the pano missions not loading. I get it too if I try and load a three row one (the two row ones seem to take three rows though). The Litchi tech says its a bug they are currently working on.

mmm unfortunately that program might be out then..

No worries Mike, have a play with Image composite editor. Its very easy to use.

If you use Image composite editor, there is 4 steps, 1) import the photos - litchi does 18 by default 2) click stitch, then choose "Sterographic". 3) click crop, at this stage, hit auto crop and you will have your clouds to the corners 4) Export/Save your panorama/little planet! I think...

I use a free but very good and simple to use program for "little planets". I just use the standard setting to take the panorama in Litchi (think it takes 18 photos) and then import them into the free and very good program Image composite editor. Image Composite Editor - Microsoft Research Home...

Here, its not uncommon to see a Heli below 400. Rescue helis fly up and down the coast at a few hundred feet (Generally out from the beach a few hundred feet). Today I was out in the sugar cane fields flying and saw a chopper off in the distance behind my bird, but lower, I'd say 200...

Well I'm on the other side of the beach ball (Australia) and I get the same regularly in more urban areas, a couple of times only 300 feet before the video signal warning, as does another guy I know on the other side of my country. Yet out in the sugar cane fields I got 3100 meters (10170...

I see some have tried to come up with a sellable product, but failed... This first version would of course have no stability, and put the floats in field of view Argo Drone - accessory for DJI Phantom by LCdesign on Shapeways Not sure about the second, but I would think too heavy and...

Now that is a great shot Meta4 3.5 minutes less battery in current form but I'm certain I can do better than that with something more streamlined.. Yes, agreed, get over the fear and fly free is the simplest option, but its not a matter of fear of Doris going in the drink per se. Its a...

I have no intentions of playing with it like this once I have come up with working floaties - this is purely testing. It will take off and land from my sailboat. The floats will be a bit of insurance if for whatever reason, I can't get it back to the boat because as you say, they are not...

Hey all, Has anybody come up with effective floats for the Phantom? I know there are videos on YouTube but I think the majority of those are only swimming pool or pond friendly. I want something stable enough to keep Doris upright in some chop,, or in large bow waves from 70 foot 4 story...

I updated tonight and then rebooted all and went to try. First problem was that I was getting poor radio signal messages straight after the update when only 5 foot from the AC. I took it outside and put it on the grass and it was giving a compass error message. I tried calibrating and it...

I'm only going off what was said in the "Tested" video, where the DJI guy agreed that it is slower in the normal mode, or something to that affect. Perhaps it has GPS, but its just the collision avoidance that doesn't work in Sports mode. (?) I don't know if anyone has perfected high speed...

The P4 is faster in its "Sports' mode, however in normal GPS mode, it is slower than the P3 (they have had to do that because collision avoidance is not at a stage yet where it will work at high speed). Just how much slower it will be interesting to see. Slower speed in GPS mode is...
