Show off your Phantom 3 Videos

Here's my contribution - my first flight with the P3P (and actually, any copter) around what's been called Switzerland's most photographed location. Had some issues with IMU calibration, hence the horizon was not completely level; I've corrected in FinalCut Pro X, yet some artifacts remain. Recalibration afterwards removed that issue, and I've also slowed down the tilt rate in the app.

I've not yet understood how to operate the "POI" mode. Anyone knows more? Also, I'd like to have one of those buttons tell the drone to do like a smooth rotation around the vertical axis, so as to not having to do that manually. Landing could be better if not done manually (but return to home is not always useful, like if I have a different landing point) like when I just want to descend at a constant small rate.

Landing in hand works perfectly well. To another person's question, I've quite well now done a descent at full rate when I was running a bit low on battery, so pulling the lever all the way back did at least not for me shut down the engine :)

Enough said, here's the video:

 
Took my Phantom 3 Pro to my local park and flew it around. Light bridge works amazing. After the first 10 minutes of getting used to the P3, I took it over the trees, using my iphone 6+ as my eyes. No lag and really changes what I'm able to do. Love it so far.

You took it over the trees, but did not dare to fly close to the tree tops to reduce the possibilities of losing it. The Phantom 4 will have that Obstacle Avoidance features so that you do not have to worry about it hitting anything and just focus on framing your video however you want !, Phantom 4 is due later this year !
 
Great initiative – gonna have a field day looking through all of them nice videos! :)

Here's a short video from my second flight the other day, figured it was time to introduce the P3P to water.

Hi, that's amazing, didn't know Phantom 4 will be out later this year... Are you sure?
 

Just some 4K test footage from my maiden flight on Monday to help convince a friend to upgrade to the P3P

A bit of experimenting with stationary shots in hover and post processing. There is no audio, so if anyone can recommend some free music I would welcome suggestions!


During the same flight I took this panorama which you can see better on 500px.

This footage is from one of my first flights, maybe the 4th battery charge. It wasn't until I was looking at the footage on the computer that I realized the people viewed were vandalizing property. Video recorded in 1080P by the P3A and then roughly edited in iMovie.
