Flack, I have used Hangar successfully several times with P3P. I have experienced some problems with mission failing to initialise. But not when starting the equipment from scratch. In other words: Connect iPad to Controller Power up Aircraft Power up Controller and as I often forget: SWITCH IT...

That is a strangely worded message. It does not confirm that they have started shipping on schedule And if they haven't, then why not. The fact that they have received lots of orders is a reason for not fulfilling later orders, but not a reason for delaying shipment of the first ones......

Well Jenny, it is true that there are all kinds of free video trimmers out on the internet. But how many can take Phantom mp4 videos and trim them WITHOUT RECOMPILING? I don't think that any of the ones that you list can do that. But I agree that SolveigMM Video Splitter does cost money. So if...

I second that. I had a lovely sunset to video over a small still lake. I thought the best way to capture the reflections off the surface was to fly level off the bank. But the moment the bird got over the water it dropped like stone. I saw the lights fading into the depths. Fortunately there was...

I somehow missed this thread in my search for 3D video. So I started my own under 3D VIDEO from unmodified Phantom 3 Covers much the same ground as you guys. But I have included anaglyph examples and links to SBS files that have not been crushed by YouTube. It's great to be able to see scenes in...

Thanks for your interest! I've put a couple of proper 1080p25 SBS 3D mp4 examples here. Dropbox - Phantom Pilots Ignore Dropbox's encouragement to sign up for an account. If you play the files in the viewer they will look very pixellated. But Dropbox will also allow you to download the much...

I see lots of references on the forum to 3D; for printing, gimbals, even FPV goggles. But none for 3D video. I guess the fad for 3D TV has gone again, but I am still interested to get a true 3D view from the sky from my Phantom. It is very easy to create a 3D aerial image from a Phantom by...

Finally I got another 4k camera and mounted it on my P3A. On this camera the fan starts within 1 minute of powering up the Phantom (of course with P3P firmware). So what DJI wrote in the e-mail above is dead wrong, as many on this forum have said from their own experience.

That's good. They were probably only trying to stop idiots doing stuff like this::)

I have to be honest. I've been holding on to a 4k camera for over a month now, really wanting to believe I should keep it. But since it was delivered with a defective fan, I am now happy to return it, get my cash back and wait for DJIs next step forward. Yes the P3A is a superb buy. And if it...

Hi Mojo, Sorry, I guess I was being contentious. I'm just an engineer. 24 fps was (and of course still is) distinctly better than the flicker of the 16 fps Standard 8 home cine that my Dad used to shoot. From that I just see the logical evolution to more and more realistic video capture. I agree...

DJI agree they are interchangeable ....if you look hard enough. DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography Look at the first item under "Camera And Gimbal". And then you could look at the second FAQ here about invalidating your guarantee, and maybe get confused...

Me too. On my iPad mini I was well happy with the P3A live image. It was a guy with FPV goggles that made me look closer. Looking at the downloaded files on the iPad on a PC screen (since I don't have goggles) the difference is obvious. Two things I now notice even on the iPad are a sweeping...

The FPV guys have a good point that the live video feed is much better on the P3P. And (if you've got a 4k screen), the 4k probably looks better than asking the PC or TV to upscale a lower resolution to 4k. I am not convinced of any benefit it downscaling from 4k to FHD as some have argued...

The native resolution of the camera sensor which is fitted to both the Pro and the Advanced is definitely 4k. So in principle (if the camera optics are good enough!) 4k should be the ultimate quality output. Many owners and potential buyers take that for granted. However as has been well...
