Was able to finally get the P3S out and do a little flying. I'm impressed by how stable the camera is even with my erratic newbie flying technique. I'm using whatever firmware was on when I got it and using an iPad Mini 3 for the DJIGO app. It says there is an update available but I just skip past it for now. Every other time I have tried to take it out it was too windy, and other time when I had the time the weather was bad so I was happy to finally get a little air time. I do need to get a screen shield for the iPad though..very hard to see in the sunlight.

Great job on the video!
 
You're braver than I was when I first got my phantom. I didn't fly over trees for a month, lol. I see a long range test in your very near future.

I think I am going to be pretty much a line of sight flyer. As tempting as long range flying is it will be a while before I ever try it.

The new place we just bought (in the video) is 3 acres and I have flown it twice now. I'm just hoping the neighbors (who I have not met yet) don't think I am spying on them, lol

But I'm really impressed by how smooth the camera is. I need to check the settings/calibration on the gimble wheel because it did not operate smoothly and there were times when I wanted to nudge the camera up and it went down, or it went up or down two fast.
