    Video format

    Does the P3A have 4k capability please. Also when I land I use the both joysticks in and down, but quite often the drone tilts over jams 2 props and motors scream for a couple of seconds befiore shutting off. Is it Better to bring it down to a few feet above ground than tap the auto land button?

    Oopsie doopsie did a stupid thing and paid the price. P3a crashed from about 5mtres onto concrete, landing on its roof, heavily. No damage to body, but gimble not working. The motor is running but no movement of the camera. I have opened up the gimble, can't see any chip, ribbon, or board...

    IF your using apple

    Thanks, i was having a brain fade, I forgot that the video is saved in mov on the sd card, therefore making the type of computer irrelevant. Now I just have to see if Linux video editing software can do a decent job without to much fuss. Cheers again.

    Advice on tablet specs please

    So it really comes down to DJI doing some sort of sweetheart deal with Apple and not actually providing an app that works reliably on android, yet listing a number of devices that are supposed to work. I reckon thats got to be close to illegal advertising. Really pissed off right now DJI.
