    How to enjoy your quadcopter - Woman assaults UAV pilot

    I have had a few people stop me and ask what I was doing, once when I was flying over some guys farm and was parked on the side of the road. He said they have had break-ins so he was checking on what I doing. The other time I was flying in the country around an abandoned house, and there was a...

    Canada - Giving footage/photos to people to use commercially

    Re: Canada - Giving footage/photos to people to use commerci But if you do the shots for him/her, and he/she does use them I am quite sure no one is going to come knocking. Except for potential house buyers. I wonder if there is a loophole for flying for the purposes of feature films...

    Birds On Arch Rock Formation @ Sunset - Little Corona Beach

    Re: Birds On Arch Rock Formation @ Sunset - Little Corona Be Beautiful. It's moments like these where the P2V+ is worth every penny. You don't use the gyro for gimbal control?

    Nice three phantoms up at once. That looks like Pitt Meadows, my backyard. Did you film any mudder action a stave?

    Crash of The Year Video!

    Cringe. As soon as it turns around and you see that chimney you know its go no choice but flying there. Very lucky to get it back in one piece, and no gimbal damage. Good to know that nice people are everywhere. But this is why I think that fail safe should automatically ascend the UAV to...

    Close call? - Post your close call flight vid

    Yeah, Gimbal arm is bent after crashing into a tree and so the horizon is canted. I correct it in post when I need to. Thinking about bending the arm back, but worried about snapping it and having no camera at all.

    DJI Phantom Vision+ Video in Edinburgh

    Nice shots. The city looks a wonderful I a remember on my last visit. What are the rules about flying around the castle, or up to Hollyrood Palace for instance? Would love to see a approach shot of the fountain and a 360 rotation of it. Great looking stuff.

    Close call? - Post your close call flight vid

    This was a super close call when my P2V+ went into Return Home mode on the other side of a tree. I was scouting this tree for an Eagles nest. I got cocky cause I sent a new personal record for distance. 1050 meters. I thought that when the quad went into Return home mode it would increase...

    Phantom Doing Circles

    Here is a great explanation of what it is doing. Some people call it toilet bowl'ing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfaRpNp-__k Mine was doing the same thing. It would circle for awhile and then eventually steady out. Here is a video I made of it doing that...

    Vision + profile lens for ProDRENALIN

    Here is the one I just created for the P2V+ camera. Tested it and it looks pretty nice actually. Better then the Medium GoPro Black. See photos. Download this attachment and rename the .zip extension to LEns Profile Prodad.intrinsic. Then you should be able to import the lens configuration...

    P2V+ arrived with bent gimbal. DJI nonexistent

    Mine seems to be bent too, although this happened after I crashed into a tree. Did your look similar? How did you bend it back, did you use tools? how hard was it. I have tried forcing mine, but it doesn't seem to want to move.
