    Suggestions for Low Light Video - Capturing Live Machine Gun Tracer Fire Tonight

    Thanks for the videos. Definitely needs some sound. I believe live streaming would have included the sound from the ipad/iphone. Too bad we don't have shoots like that closer to where I live.

    Live Streaming NOW!

    How do you get audio with the P3. Does it only do audio during a live stream and take the audio from the streaming device? Thanks for the fireworks.

    Autonomous Waypoint Navigation and Camera Control with the FreeSkies Copilot

    Agree and they should charge if it is a worthy product. Atlas Shrugged popped into my mind reading this... ;)

    Best Buy is now selling P3's

    Of course there will be good and bad anytime you bring a new item to the masses. You all can guess the bad, but the good will hopefully outweigh the bad. More people in this hobby is a good thing as long as they act and fly responsibly. Yes, they are extremely easy to fly IMHO... but I come...

    Best night camera settings for fireworks

    Good video here on all the options on the camera. Sorry I can't figure out why when you click on the link the video starts around the 5 minute mark. Just go to the beginning and watch. Yes it says inspire but the settings are the same for the Phantom 3.

    Gear Security, Ever have anyone try to steal your Phantom?

    I always carry concealed, but it pays to be aware of where you are flying and who is around. Might also be prudent to have someone watch your back in those situations.

    Charging setups? Let's see them

    I think everyone understands that, the benefit (if it doesn't kaboom your battery :eek: ) would be charging multiple batteries without having to disconnect one to add another. The time would be the same, you just wouldn't have to babysit them and swap them out.

    Charging setups? Let's see them

    I bought one of those 8-9 dollar charging bars from China and have only charged 1 battery with it although it can charge 3 at a time. Hope to use it more when I need more than one battery ready.

    every so often some P3 settings go back to default?

    More items to add to your pre-flight checklist.

    Best night camera settings for fireworks

    I'm thinking of taking video and then grabbing a few scene shots from the movie.

    How many charge cycles can one expect on the P3 batteries?

    Anyone know how they count a cycle? I believe with my iPhone, if I'm at 100% and drop to 50... charge and then the next day go from 100% to 50% and charge. That equals 1 cycle. Or is each charge, even if its at 80% to 100% counted as a cycle?

    New firmware... Should i do?

    Agree, with the issue with the VPS, there will probably be another release shortly. If you aren't having any issues just wait.

    Alarm or Siren?

    Probably not a bad idea to have it chirp when it automatically lands. I'm at a loss on how this can happen if one is paying attention. If you are lost when flying, you should probably have one of the customized buttons the map button. Once pressed you should easily see where you are and where...

    Home location on screen

    I keep seeing recommendations to turn off WIFI or place the tablet into Airplane mode, but I've flown with wifi enabled with no issues and if one wishes to perform live streaming, then they need to enable WIFI or use a cellular service. Wish there wasn't this ambiguity on this issue.
