    Water nerves.

    My 3rd flight was over Lake Monona, in Madison. It put my nerves at ease once I realized that I would probably be out of a P3P if I crashed over land or water from 300'. By my 5th flight I was over Lake Michigan, Bradford Beach. Flew up and down the beach. Even went over the Northpoint...

    Flying In 4 Degree Weather.

    I used 2 hand warmers under my iPhone 6. I bought an iPhone 6+ case, put the hand warmers in it, then the phone. I was good to go. I also have 2 pairs of etip gloves: ETIP GLOVE | United States MEN’S MONTANA ETIP™ GLOVE | United States The large ones work best with a tablet.

    Dedicated Tablet for Phantom

    I decided to get a dedicated tablet. I was flying with my iPhone 6, but that got old quick. I didn't want to use my iPad mini because I use it heavily for my photography business. I ran across the Nextbook Ares 8. At $78 I figured I could not go wrong. I just got it, so hopefully I'll get...

    Dji phantom 3 adv and uv filter

    It already comes with a UV filter. It's already on the camera. You can remove that front part. I think you will benefit the most with and ND filter if you plan on photos/video in daylight with lots of sun. This video shows you how to remove the current UV filter.

    When to stop Beginner Mode

    My first flight was in beginners mode. That was the only time I used it. However, my initial flights have all been in wide open areas. So that made the transition easy. I don't fly in my (small) back yard. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Battery warmer?

    I've been sliding a hand warmer between the battery and the foam on the backpack. I just activate the hand warmer before I leave the house. Went on a 2 hour trip last weekend and shot stills for 1 1/2 hours before I got the P3P out. The batteries were ready to go with an outside temp of 15F...

    First Panorama - Madison, WI

    Great shot! Can't wait for the weather to change so I can take mine for a spin on Lake Monona. I took a similar one from a helicopter Fall of 2014. At $600 an hour...reason I got a P3P.
