Yesterday I was covering the prep of a golf course for a big local amateur event and when I got home I found I'd lost a bunch of my footage. This is the second time I've had this happen and my only explanation is that I must've powered down the craft before I stopped recording. I'm pretty...

@2nd2non I am going through the process of getting my P3P ready for its maiden flight. I'm really excited by the capability Autopilot has and really appreciate the info in this thread! Quick question, do you recommend getting used to how waypoints work in DJI go before venturing into Autopilot?

Arrived Atl today to open my long awaited P1 upgrade. Sealed box, everything with protective wrapper on it. Most clutch purchase I've made since the 2 for £4 Easter egg deal tesco had on about a month ago. The build quality of everything is so much more solid. And I was satisfied with the P1 at...

Ive been reading through the flight school stuff and came across it just now. This is a different world compared to phantom 1. Love it!

What's LCMC?

Thanks Tony. I'm counting down the hours til my flight to Atl this afternoon! Gonna head north on Friday to Asheville. Can't wait!

I know the feeling! Got competent with my P1 and last year got a Vortex race quad. Instruction manual even compared a Phantom to a Labrador and the Vortex to a pitbull. They weren't kidding! Get a simulator and practice a ton to get a feel for the flight characteristics. Liftoff is good and so...

I'm going to try some Dom v3's and HD v2's later this week and will hopefully pull the trigger on a pair. I have a race quad that I predominantly want these for although I will buy the hdmi module for p3p also. If you aren't planning to use the goggles with a 5.8ghz setup (as well as the...

I could register the quad to my mates address but wanted to do it all in my name seems as their website says it's possible. I guess to save the risk of a $27k fine and three years in the slammer I should just register it to my mates house!

I'm in the US and am picking up my new Phantom tomorrow. I just began the registration process online but it doesn't have an option for 'aliens' yet! From the FAQs: Q12. Who is required to register on the new online UAS registration website? A. Only individual recreational or hobby users who...

What goggle are you using Tony?

Some people!

At least with the phantom you can let go of everything and it'll hover. On several occasions I've been flying my race quad and had dogs try chase it. Talk about having to hold it together!

I know the feeling. Especially about people coming over to ask a load of questions whilst I'm trying to concentrate on flying!

feel like this industry has reached tipping point!
