MattyDread: at the time I created the shade and the post, the retail shades were not available. Of course they are now and I would agree with you. But there are some advantages in this shade - it's shades more. HotDog: The 'folding' can be done if you use white duct tape to protect the cut...

The plastic threaded props have more friction (and chances of thread damage due to over tightening) than metal threaded props. The P2, I believe had metal threads. About 6 weeks ago I saw a video by a guy promoting a Du-Bro prop balancer that explained the reasons why DJI went with a plastic...

In Canada and in my province of Ontario we have a "distracted driver" law with a very sizeable fine. It would be best to take a passenger along to keep track of the drone. That said, I know I'll solo a drive or two. Looks like a very cool feature. Thanks for posting.

Very cool indeed. Awesome production value as well. At the point where your car was off camera by yellow truck, did you notice the RC signal strength? If yes, did strength ever become a concern?

I came across a site that might interest all. Battery University is site that describes all sorts of batteries. http://batteryuniversity.com/ There’s a great section on extending a batteries life. Although the main intent is laptop or cell phone batteries, the overall principals are the...

I’m sorry but I can’t agree with you. If nothing is done to change the way a CSC is activated, and if the number of phantoms in the public doubles, the odds, albeit low, of accidental CSC also doubles. The P3 is being advertised extensively. As I mentioned in a previous post, it’s now...

As originator of this thread, my intention was to start a discussion on the logic of the CSC and its relationship to motor start or shut down and if the logic should change if the P3 knows it’s airborne. There have been a lot of valid points made by experienced RC pilots who say the CSC is...

The last thing I want to say on this matter is that drones are coming to the masses as prices are dropping and availability is increasing. If a drone requires an emergency shut down procedure that must happen in 3 seconds, else lives are in danger, then perhaps the why and how a drone got into...

Attached is the iPad Mini Metric. FYI, on the mini designs, I didn't change the top and sides length, so you may want to cut them back a bit so it doesn't look like you're looking down a tunnel.

Since P3 in now available at Staples, maybe Walmart next, expect to see a lot of Newbies, with that a lot of non-RTFM. Should anything be done to prevent a lot falling drones? Just saying...

" It would be near impossible to preform a CSC in flight unless you intended to do one." Yet newbies seem to do it once a week unintentionally. For this very reason the whole CSC procedure should be re-evaluated. Just because it's not changed since the dawn of drones, is no reason NOT to...

Since I'm new to the P3 and the forum world, I posted the thought on the CSC on the hope that DJI might consider safety improvements. My intention was not to create stress for anyone. I’m just fearful I'll accidently perform a CSC myself.

If a smart drone knows it's above X feet and allows a CSC without confirmation, why not re-name the CSC to SDP (Self Destruct Procedure). A confirmation would, at best, add a second or two to the shut down.

My bad, sorry CSC not CVC. I corrected the initial thread.

I'm not asking to remove the CSC, just to confirm you want it if the P3 thinks it's above 4 feet.
