    Will drone shut off while flying when I put throttle all the way down for a quick descent?

    If you catch it then it will think it has landed. Its not flying anymore if you hold it. That would be the same as landing it on the palm of your hand. Phantom WILL NOT shutdown if you hold the left stick down. You have to hold both sticks all of the way down and to the middle to shut the motors...

    How many batteries have you brought on a plane?

    Southwest basically refers you to the TSA website. The main limit is that YOU CAN NOT 'CHECK' LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. Lithium Ion Batteries of up to 100watts are permitted as CARRY ON ONLY and there is no limit stated on TSA website. As JustMike72 gave the link to, there doesn't appear to be a...

    $50 batteries? Yes it's true.

    Third Target worked for me. Both were sealed. Both are part 133. One came in the brown box, the other one came in the retail white box. Guest Service guy gave me the price match on both because it took him so long to sort it out. 6 is enough for me.

    My first video upload please check it out and leave comments.

    I think its from panning too quickly. That was going to be my only suggestion, pan a bit slower. Also, cut out the sections where you change motion. I.E. flying straight ahead then pan one direction. Trim it just before the change in direction. Video looks really nice though. Sent from my...

    The Lock

    Very cool to see. I understand the weather wasn't so great, so take this with a grain of salt. Would very very cool to see some kind of progression of the boat through the Lock. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Lightbridge 2 With P4P

    You could use one of the tablets that everybody talks about on here that has an HDMI output on it. Run a micro HMDI from the tablet to a large flat screen on the boat or a powered HDMI hub with tablets connected. Samsung tablets and iPads have the feature of Casting the screen wirelessly to...

    Winter beach flight Westport, MA

    Hey Massguy!! Cool video. Not used to seeing snow near the beach either. Let's get some more of that. Maybe get a side by side view when the snow is gone. FYI, Change your gimbal setting for smooth movement so that it isn't abrupt up and down. Coool video Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Hardware

    There should be settings in the software to change to proxy mode and downgrade the preview screens. I'm only familiar so far with DaVinci Resolve. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Travelling with drone questions

    I have traveled several times with my Phantom. I always do airline research and TSA research before going. As of right now, no batteries over 100 watts, Phantoms are only 60 watts. There are no requirements to discharge nor have I seen an airline require that. Southwest has some requirements...

    Listen to this sound coming from my p4

    Its a harmonic vibration that the motors are making. Jet aircraft make the exact same sound when engine sync is not turned on. When hovering like that they are spinning at very close to the same speed. As you start maneuvering the sound should go away as the motor speeds will be quite different...

    What a big surprise when I fly my p4p+ for the first time and find out that the map on the new and

    I dont think there is a way to cache Here Maps. If you are on Android then it is very easy to downgrade your GoApp to a previous version that uses Googlemaps. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    P3P 4K settings

    What kind of device are you using? On iPad I have to change it to select still photo mode and select the settings button on the bottom right ( looks like three sliders). Very confusing to use still photo mode to change video settings. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    My Videos w/ iMovie and iMac

    The Nest Project was great, at the beginning. Not that the rest of the filming was bad but I could tell you had a clear idea of what to film and the second half felt like you were filming the photographer and her process instead of the nest. Still better than my editing. Pink Floyd is my...
