I prefer a coiled cord. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZM2X4O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Only a couple of tentative flights so far, but no problems and I'm loving the P3. Best DJI product yet! Purchased a P2V when it was first released and sent it back after erratic behavior and near fly-away. Purchased a P2V+, have been using it for over a year now with no problems, well over 100...

You will probably need to update your P3 and controller firmware to version 1.1.6 for the app to work. Just follow the DJI instructions, it's really easy.

Run image recovery software on the included micro SD card. Lots of photos from inside the DJI factory have been recovered by Inspire 1 owners. :)

Shipped via FedEx, no luck tracking it yet, hope to get it before weekend. I've gotten very good use from P2V+ over the past year (around 80-100-flights), but have been longing for better quality still photos from day one. I purchased an Inspire 1 for the improved camera, but it threw a...

Ole Miss v Memphis State @ Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The Shapeways hood looks good, but vignettes quite a bit when shooting stills (I shoot 95% stills with my P2V+). I started filing away at the corners with a small jeweler's file, and after removing a bit of material, I put it back on the P2V+ and shot test images. More filing and testing gave...

IMHO, always be polite and educate, never argue. Last week I needed to shoot some video of a newly opened traffic roundabout and the best vantage/launch point was a dead-end road that used to connect a group of condominiums to the road with the roundabout. I figured I'd need 15-minutes and I'd...

I've been using an old milk crate turned upside down. Comes in very handy when launching from tall grass, I always hand-grab rather than land.

Ole Miss Golf Course.

Overheating is not unique to the DJI app, when all of the iPhone's systems are used at once, a lot of heat is generated. I've had the same thing happen when running the TomTom navigation app while streaming music and charging the iPhone. Use your iPhone 'naked' (no case, decals or screen...

Re: What is the best way to move pictures/film from the Phan Amen, been shooting digital since 1999 and I've never connected a cable from camera to computer. Get one of these (Target stocks them in store, some WalMarts too), best $12 you'll spend and it's about the size of a box of matches...

I needed to shoot a fireworks photo to fit a 1200x527pixel box on a webpage. Shooting 'vertical' fireworks as a loooooong horizontal image dictated that I shoot from a pretty good distance from the fireworks. Using Google Earth, I scouted a location at the proper distance and with only trees...

This is the mount I got from Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Nootle-iP ... +ipad+mini Mike said he could make more mounts, but his materials and machining time are not cheap. He said he could make more for $100 plus shipping. If you are interested, PM your email address to me and I'll...

Ability to turn red LEDs on 'front arms' of Phantom on/off from DJI app so they won't foul up low light photography. Turn off while shooting, turn back on to assist in landing. (I've covered up my front LEDs with gaffer tape). Ability to shoot auto-bracket exposure burst. Full manual control...
