    DJI Launches New Era of Intelligent Flying Cameras

    Lol... Didn't see anything about parts availability... Or spare batteries available when the P4 ships... I'm keeping my P3P.

    Ribbon cable?

    I crashed my P3, wasn't high speed, wasn't that high, but clipped a tree branch and it went down in a corn field about 75 yards from where I was flying. Bad depth perception on my part. Almost everything is fine. I can power it up, fly it, etc. However, after powering it up and it tests...

    Phantom 3 - the panorama machine

    True, for web use, you could simply crop your photo to a 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 aspect ratio, but when printing large, at 300 dpi, you want all the resolution you can get.

    Perfect Size Durable/Waterproof Hardcase for only $46.99

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The P3 is relatively cheap and I can't argue a cheap case, but for really expensive gear, investing in a solid case like a Pelican is a no brainer.

    Phantom 3 - the panorama machine

    FWIW, I try to overlap each frame by about a third when doing composited panoramics. Works really well if there's movement of subjects in the frame as it gives you options for blending. It also helps with vignetting when shooting primes.

    Recreating historical photographs

    The original was taken at a much longer focal length - you can tell by the compression. Cool idea, thanks for sharing.

    Format the SD Card?

    Formatting doesn't delete the files on the card, in simple terms, it removes and writes a new 'table of contents' that says that the card is 'empty'. All the data is still sitting there but without reference. It can still be recovered with special software - unless new data is written to the...

    Seahorse Case for Phantom 3

    I like the black, works well with the almost black foam. And, the stuff has a strong odor, it takes several days to completely cure.

    Seahorse Case for Phantom 3

    Pick and pluck falls apart in no time. It's not durable to say the least. I've had a lot of problems with it in the past, then saw a tip on a photography forum that said to spay the top surface with Plasti Dip aerosol rubber coating once you have the foam configured how you want it - and it...

    Phantom 3 Spare Parts Pricing - Battery, Backpack, Cameras, Chargers, Props

    I really like seeing the updates from Mike/Advexure. We know this is all out of anyone's hands as the parts are coming from DJI at their discretion, but the communication is really nice to see. There's nothing worse than zero communication/being completely in the dark. It's this communication...

    Thanks. The slow motion was captured at 240fps with a Sony FS700.

    Playing in the dirt. Scrub to 1:13 for the P3P footage. So much fun working the yaw with the speed of the subjects.
