    Yea, I worked up a lot of courage and flew mine out around the Mackinac Bridge. Talk about a pucker factor ;) Eventually you learn to trust in yourself and your craft, takes time.

    Police Confiscation

    Just for my own curiosity, are you agreeing the police may have been out of hand, or just upset that the media somehow got the story itself wrong? Maybe both? :)

    Police Confiscation

    A cop friend of mine sent me this Police to drone owners: Please don't fly them unless licensed The article is short on details, but it seems to me, with an admittedly novice understanding of the law, or what went on, that the police were in the wrong here. Now of course, you don't argue...

    First crash - Looking for replacement parts

    Wow, amazing tips. I feel kind of sheepish for not finding these parts last night, but I did look, I promise. I ordered everything off of Amazon as I have a prime account, so we'll see. I have the LED cover in my car, I didn't realize what it was until you guys pointed out it was missing. I...

    First crash - Looking for replacement parts

    Learned my lesson the hard way today, but I now have a great feeling of what "too much wind" feels like. I knew I shouldn't have taken off, but figured I could handle it, wanted to show a friend before heading back home after a long weekend. Big gust of wind and smack into a tree before I could...

    Launching from a boat

    Great responses, thank you all. Glad to hear I'm not totally crazy for considering this. One question though, I've always flown in GPS mode. Why would atti be beneficial for this?

    Launching from a boat

    Greetings, My friend just got a new boat and we're planning on using it a lot this summer for fishing. I've been pondering the idea of also launching my P3P from it and getting some great shots out on the water, over shallow wrecks etc. Getting the drone to places it just couldn't get to...

    Flew over Detroit Tigers Comerica park

    I'm a bit OCD, but if I was gonna take the time to knock out a great shot like this (and you did a great job) I would try my best to make sure the drone, home plate, and the middle of centerfield were all in a straight line in the middle of the shot. As it looks now, your drone was off to the...

    Camera, ISO, Noise....Confusion

    Overexposure warning, somewhere in the app settings. It alerts you to areas of your photo that are overexposed.

    Camera, ISO, Noise....Confusion

    I just noticed the times I had that issue were connected to the times I tried to use the built in HDR. I've stopped using it, and have had much better luck. My 'theory' is that as someone above said, the sensor on this thing is just too tiny. So when we tell it to do HDR with actual blacks...

    Camera, ISO, Noise....Confusion

    So I have a theory that these are related to shooting in HDR. Do you know if you were shooting in HDR mode when you took these?
