    Not the standard questions

    I know what you are saying, but not sure how to resolve this. I have this occur frequently when I'm taking a video of someone surfing and I want to spin around them. Taking video around noon would eliminate this, but a lot of times the best conditions are at dawn (for surfing). If I use...

    Pulled the trigger on black Friday deal....direct from DJI...no prop bag - just plastic. I emailed them about it and they said not included. I just sent them back a link to the video of the DJI tutorial unboxing... I don’t care the color, but I really liked the bag on my P3. Anyone else not...

    I would like to see different training modules that each cover specific topics so that people could select the ones they need to learn or brush up on. You could run a poll of potential topics every week and then make them in order of popularity/demand or in the order that makes sense to you...

    Safe and respectful distance from sea lions and orcas

    Crashed today...

    I do enjoy it! Mostly to try to eliminate future crashes, I took that part out of my post as I have been messaging with Steve and I do not think prop tightness was the issue in this case. So I am not sure why his prop came off, but I don't think it is because it was not tight enough or because...

    Crashed today...

    Here is a plot of the left back motor commanded and actual speed. You can see it increased just before the altitude crosses what was the starting ground point. It is weird that the altitude continues to drop, but I think the crash might have messed up the sensor. Left back motor load is not...
