I have used the PowerExtra brand for years on my P3S and currently still have one in use. Some have been retired due to high charge cycles but all of them have been reliable and all of them outlasted the original DJI OEM battery in charge cycles. The ExpertPower battery mentioned above also...

Thanks, Chris.

Here is an Easter themed light painting (3 eggs) that I did at the end of March. It was done on my old Phantom 3 Standard and flown as a Litchi Waypoints Mission. I did a few edits to clean the image up a bit and had to darken it a bit in post since it was almost a full moon. The lake ice is...

If you are operating in cold weather it is important to keep the batteries warm (in a pocket for example) and don’t insert them into the drone until you are ready to start the motors. Also, if the motors aren’t starting then you will need to calibrate the IMU in the cold temperatures you want...

Thanks for the kind words. Just a clarification. I did not fly this manually so my piloting skill really did not come into play. This whole mission was created using four Litchi waypoints flights created with Litchi Mission Utilities that were created by @DJ Wes. He also provided suggestions...

This is a four colour light painting done on the P3S. To create this painting the overall image - Flower Garden, is divided up into four parts, one for each colour. Each colour is flown separately and then the four images are combined and edited in photoshop. Chris
