    Anyone in Phoenix, AZ that I can rent from?

    I'm on shooting some stuff in Phoenix, AZ, and I'm looking to rent some batteries for a P3P. Anyone in the area interested?

    Videos freeze

    Lightroom isn't designed for video work. Stick with Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Avid, or any other program specifically designed for video. Also, like others have said, you need to have a fairly robust machine to handle real time playback of 4K material. A good CPU and GPU are necessary...

    ND filter material?

    I bought the polar pro filter set. They have served me well. They are high quality glass filters, and the ND varieties do not introduce a color cast. My P3P basically lives with the ND8.

    Battery Cage Part

    For those that care, DJI started selling this exact part for $3 in the spare parts section of their website.

    Third Party Apps vs. DJI GO

    So, I'm looking to get some suggestions on third party apps that you've had good experiences with that will allow full control of a P3P. DJI GO is just fine, but I'm looking for something that specifically provides a more useful intervalometer setting for timelapses. Thoughts?

    Advice on getting quality exposure in videos

    Using ND will definitely help. I use the polar pro ND4 and ND8 (which, as a side note, makes no **** sense. Typically, ND comes in ND3, ND6, ND9, ND1.2, ND1.5, ND 1.8, etc... never in ND4 or ND8. Whatever) Normally, if I am flying during the daytime (excluding sunrise and sunset), I am always...

    Advice on getting quality exposure in videos

    Don't use auto exposure. Just use your histogram and all will be well. This is just my personal opinion. I shoot log on my P3P and then color my footage in Resolve and it looks great. I just make sure to never clip my highlights.

    Battery Cage Part

    I am having the exact same issue. I have looked everywhere, and requested the part from DJI (still waiting on that...) I am taking it to an engineer buddy of mine that has access to a 3D printer. He is going to measure the part tomorrow to build a replica. If all goes well, I could make one in...

    TRAVEL WARNING: Don't take your drone with you, even tourist

    I have taken my drone to Ghana, the US, and South Africa without any issues at all. I'm traveling to Hong Kong and Taiwan next week with it, as well, and don't expect to run into any problems.

    P3P drifting problem... Help, please!

    It veers to the right. It will slowly just start strafing right (sometimes left, but mostly right). Like I said, I calibrate the compass before every flight session, and in every new spot I fly. I honestly never use RTH, so I am not sure whether or not it will curve when in use. Here is a link...

    P3P drifting problem... Help, please!

    Hey guys. My P3P drifts to the right quite a bit when flying straight forward or backward. It seems to hover in place without an issue, but won't seem to fly in a straight line. I calibrate the compass before each flight session, and have calibrated my IMU and done an RC stick calibration as...
