    Prop Guards???

    Hi there - I'm pretty new to this but I do have prop guards fitted and I'm pretty glad I do. I've had a few near misses and crashes landing and taking off etc. - all the usual stuff and I've been glad of the extra protection. Also I am teaching my kids to fly and like to give other friends a go...

    Gps

    I'm pretty sure the software would have to know about a different GPS module as the commands could well be different. No inside info but I doubt it will work.

    Custom camera adjustments just appeared in DJI Go app for P3S

    Hi folks, I was setting up to go out flying today and noticed that there are now custom adjustments to the camera style settings in the latest version of the DJI Go app (2.3?). See attached photo. Not quite sure what the settings mean but good to know they are there. Nice that they are adding...

    Advanced flight mode

    Hi, have you definitely turned off beginner mode in the menus? Think that might block IF modes. It's kinda weird that the modes that would be MOST helpful to a beginner are disabled by default but never mind. Dave

    Video jumps, skips?

    Yes you can plug into the micro USB socket on the LHS of the gimbal mount (not the one on the phantom itself) and plug into laptop etc. Dave

    Yet another newbie

    Hi there, Welcome along and thanks for asking. I'm maybe not the best person to ask as I didn't choose the P3S, rather it chose me, as it were. Won it in a competition! What I would say is that I'm really glad that I ended up with a drone with proper GPS-assisted flying, stabilised gimbal and...

    Anyone using a parabolic windsurfer?

    I don't know enough physics to know if you need a different dimension of parabola for the different frequency of the RC antenna. You're really just trying to turn an omni antenna into a sector one I guess so maybe it's not so critical. I do find it funny that the RC antenna is an omni, while...

    Filters for P3S?

    Hi Folks. I really want to find a filter/protection solution for the P3S - freaks me out to fly with a completely unprotected lens front element. However, this doesn't feel like the right approach. Adding weights to the gimbal and having to re-balance doesn't seem like a good move. I appreciate...

    Camera modes on P3S - what's working for you?

    Well that's a good point. When I started I was seeing some aliasing so stepped down to HD but I have since figured out that was a rendering issue in FCPX so I will go back and try the 2.7K mode again now. Cheers. Dave

    Camera modes on P3S - what's working for you?

    Hi there - just getting to grips with the different camera modes. I'm pretty up on cameras from my job but trying but to figure out how that all applies to a quadcopter. Was worrying about FPS so tried 720p50 but that seems a bit too pixelly so gone back to 1080p30. Also find the standard mode...

    Filters for the Standard

    Hi all - first post! Yay! Yes I am also super scared about flying without a UV filter or similar to protect the lens. Would love to find a good lightweight glass UV to press fit on. Keep us all posted. Cheers Dave
