    Best tablet for a phantom 4?

    I might mention that I reset my tablet and removed everything not needed to run the DJI app. I have a memory card in to for needed memory. Works fine for me.

    Best tablet for a phantom 4?

    nVidia Shield K1 works great. 8 inches diagonal and quick video. Almost no lag for me.

    My first video upload please check it out and leave comments.

    Note: I think it helps in post and especially in posting videos, if you will include information as to what drone/camera you were using and also the details at to filters and your camera settings. It helps us to get a handle on what you were doing and how you got your shots. Just a thought.

    My first video upload please check it out and leave comments.

    Actually, the 'stuttering' effect is called 'Rolling Shutter'. I think if you will check your video data you were shooting at a fairly high shutter speed there at the beach. Your video is nice and it's a very interesting place to photograph. You would do well to get a set of Polar Pro filters...

    WTB: p3p 4K camera/gimble

    I did the conversion in less than an hour. It's as they said, just remove the P3A gimbal and cam and replace it with the 4k pro model and then upgrade the firmware so that your controller see's it's a Pro now. Wa La... then all you have to do is to really upgrade your computer because your old...

    The fault is most likely the cable. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Drone blew away in high wind, any suggestion on how to calculate where it may land?

    Just a quick note. Winds are stronger the higher you go in altitude. I had this problem sometime back and my RTH altitude is set to 145 feet. I know the Pine trees around here top out at about 115_120. I saw, in a high wind situation,m i that I was not coming back as fast as the battery was...

    P3P freefall into ocean

    Why did you not calibrate your compass? That's put rather plainly in the manual. Just saying. That should tell you something about the error and the cause. Sorry fog your loss. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Feedback needed for video

    Also, I may be the only one... But I like to know the details of what you were using, did you use a filter, if so what. What was your camera settings as to shutter and f stop. These details help those of us that are still in the learning stages to get a grasp on what works. On the shots going up...

    P3S crashed, gimbal looks undamaged

    I'd say about 85%. I crashed my P3A and really had little damage considering I fell about 25 feet into the broken concrete rubble from our pool being demolished. The camera/gimbal didn't have a scratch as I had the carbon fiber protector across the bottom of the gear, but after reloading the...

    What computer is everyone using to edit 4K video?

    Well, I quickly decided that the old HP, even with 32g's of Ram wasn't going to cut it anymore. So, searching for deals on the web, I came across a place that had several 'open box' Dell, XPS-8900's with the i7 chip, a 1tb hard drive and Win 10 64bit Home and 16g's of DDR4 RAM. I opted for one...

    Railroad Bridge across the Missouri River

    Put on at least an ND8 filter and watch how much better the video looks. In this video you have the rolling shutter effect going and that is causing the frames to jerk somewhat in the right edge of the video. An ND8 or ND16 will allow you to slow down your shutter to somewhere between 1/60 and...
