Thanks for all the replies guys. I will stay with my firmware. Everything works so why mess with it. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some kind of critical beneficial change.

I haven't used my drone in quite some time and I am out of the loop. The drone drone software is: 1.6.40 and Controller software: 1.5.70 I know DJI in the past has been known to lock down some functionality for legal reasons with new firmware. Is there any reason to upgrade to newer or even...

This thread sparked my curiosity to look at youtube videos of people hand launching and catching. OMG. I can't believe the amount of blatant disregard people have for their own life and limb I am a pretty 'risky' fellow that does alot of 'high' risk/injury sports (dirtbiking, wakeboarding...

The picture is deceiving. The rocks aren't really that flat. There was no way I could launch from a rock there without a serious risk of it either tipping over or going a few inches back into the wall. It doesn't seem like it from the pictures, but it is a very 'clustered' situation. It wasn't...

So a few weeks ago I had an issue. My wife and I hiked into a crevice on the side of a cliff that had petroglyphs on it (not as dangerous as it sounds!). We have hand launched and caught the drone tons of times before this, but this time was a unique position. She could not just put it above...

I just flew my drone for the second time off a small boat just this last weekend. As everyone else said, you have to have someone else there so they can hand catch it. Just take it slow and be careful. It is sometimes ALOT harder than it seems. It is usually more windy on water than on land. So...

That footage looks terrible, but that has nothing to do with the filters..... It just looks like you had some wrong settings or recording with the intent of post processing and then never did.

I tried using my filters from PhantomFilters and honestly after a couple tests I never used them again. I did not notice any benefit in color or video. Keep in mind this is in super sunny Phoenix, AZ where the sun is about as strong as it gets. I do recognize that the filters also function to...

I think their communication is bad, but I did order within the last few weeks and did receive them.

Do you have any comparison footage? I shoot in 4k often. I bought the phantomfilters gel pack and haven't had a chance to use them yet. I tried looking for reviews on them but most people seeed happy and there wasn't much said about em.

+1 I am for the cause but have no firmware development experience. Would love to see progress and follow it. I use to have an iphone for years and would always jailbreak and keep up with the development community.

You guys really think they will be coming out with a phantom 4 anytime soon? It seems like this one is just going mainstream and its pretty much 'the best' at its price point, so what reason do they have for upgrading? I'm guessing they will drop the price before making it better and maybe make...

Got it. Further out it did become stable but since I wasn't 100% sure what was going on I wasn't too confident to take it out too far. Thanks for the advice guys. Here's some panarama porn for you guys that I compiled from my hilke there (use your mouse to drag it around and zoom in/out): Sedona

Thats the exact set I was asking about if its good quality or not.

OK, I'm just glad it's not just me and something wrong with my drone. Have you guys had issues flying into the canyon area? Was I right to be hesitant or as long as I had 50+ ft at all times from the nearest edge, it should be stable with minimal random drafts?
