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...

Thanks for the likes. Chris

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

Here's one from last night. This is drawing that I am working on splitting into four separate missions: Grass and Stems - green; Flower 1 - pink; Flower 2 - orange; and Flower 3 - purple. All four missions have to be flown separately and combined in post to create the final image. Chris

Thanks! For a detailed description of how the process works please see this page Light Painting With WayPoints created by Wes Barris @DJ Wes who has created a series of utilities to facilitate Light Painting and many other things that can be done with Litchi. For my light source I use Ulanzi...

Here's one from last night. This one had 456 Waypoints. I am currently working on another mission that if successful will have four different colours. To do this each colour has to be flown as a separate waypoints mission and then all four images need to be combined in post to create the...

Here's another one from last night. This one had 861 waypoints. It was one of the more complex ones I have done with the P3S and was pretty much at the limit of the P3S battery. The flight was 15m 54s and I landed with 15% battery remaining. Other than the sky being cloudy, the conditions were...

Thanks. Yeah the P3S does a good job especially with Wes’ Litchi utilities. Chris

Here's a Light Painting mission that I did tonight (April 17/25) with my Phantom 3 Standard. There are a total of 531 waypoints. Chris

Here is the last of my winter themed Light Paintings for this past winter. I'm moving on to more seasonally appropriate missions. As with the other paintings both of these were done using my old Phantom 3 Standard, Litchi software. @DJ Wes Mission utilities were used to prepare the Litchi...

Welcome to the forum! Can you give some more details about the IMU? Why do you need a new one? I'm not an expert but if I remember correctly the IMU is soldered to the motherboard. If your IMU is just stuck you may be able to get it unstuck but tapping or banging it with the head of a screw...

Thanks. Since the P3S is not as accurate as modern drones the simpler paintings like the skater work better, but it’s always worth a challenge to see how it will do in more complex ones like the Ski-Doo logo. Chris

Here's a couple more. Chris

Here's a recent light painting done on my old P3S. Chris

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate)! Wishing everyone a safe holiday season. Chris
