Anyone know of a good sun shade for the Nvidia Shield? One that fits nicely?

Is it (still) not possible to take RAW images while in Video mode? Would be really useful for some people to be filming, and then take a still when ever they feel like it. Not a screen grab, though. The same quality image as wne you're in 'Photo' mode would be idea. Is it technically not possible?

Oh really, @Meta4 ? That's pretty cool! I'll try it on todays flight. If it becomes a lawn dart, I'll reply appropriately. :)

Yeah thanks, it gets a bit unstable on a direct descent, so I have been avoiding them.

The pack had been charged less than 24 hours prior to flight. And the air temperature, estimate between 25 and 30 degrees c (77F to 86F)

I had a flight yesterday, which was my 4th in total, and 2nd of the particular battery. I was hover around, going up to maybe 60 feet, taking a photo, then down again and some fast forward flight (Practising flighing boxes), when after the normal time, got the warning about battery. Quad was...

Hi guys, I'm on my 4th flight, and having fun. I have an issue with the descents though. If I want to ascend fast, I go full up on my throttle stick, and it goes up and an acceptable rate. However, to come down, I am too scared to descend fast, because if I go full down stick, won't the motors...

41 and with a P3A ... a week old.

haha... Snow.. in Brisbane. :) We're looking at mid 30's (Celcius) ... maybe 95dF in your talk, and 90% humidity. But it gets freezing in winter though. Sometimes it drops to 12 degrees. (53 dF in your speak) :) I sometimes need to put on a jersey. How I cope? I have no idea. ;)

Thanks Stealth! I forgot about the setup of the RTH. I'll make sure that's all set for today's flights.

Thanks Wibble. I was tempted to press the RTH, but for that moment when you suddenly can't see as much as you would like, then realise the quad is too far for visual... a bit of a brain freeze. Additionally, that little 'NO GPS' thing worried me. My head was thinking, if I hit RTH, would it come...

Well, my first flight has ended with success. Definition of success in this case: Quad is in one piece, in the same condition as when it started. I have flown quads before. I built my own a few years back, so have some experience. Took my P3A to a field and my kids and wife went off to the...

My first flight today and my first picture. It was maybe 20 minutes to sunset.... But, not overly impressed with the image. And this is after LightRoom was applied. Seems a bit washed out. How can I improve this? It's using a P3A... brand new.... a little bit of wind... automatic settings...

I think you might be right, @beeline. There are other converters on that, which seem they do a better job. I see the HDMI out addition you can buy for the Tx is $150 or something. So, a $5 converter will do the job for me. :) Yeah, might use it as a normal tablet too.... I'm actually selling my...

** BANG ** and the Shield was ordered. :) And then, something like this: [$4.28] HDMI V1.3 Male to 3RCA Video Audio AV Cable(1.5M) Would enable me to connect my old Fatshark BASE goggles to the HDMI out, so that a 'passenger' can join in the fun?
