    DSLR Pros Back Under New Management!

    DSLRPros Support This page does not display quite right on Chrome. Text is cut off under Email and Office section and looks poor. Do you offer repair service for DJI quads? If so, it is not highlighted on your site. If not, then you should look into that to offer as a service. The forums are...

    What happens if you fly from a cliff?

    Not a dumb question at all, as I wondered the same thing as a newbie. But now I can say I have done it many times and no issues. The height you take off at is 0. When you go over the cliff edge it will stay level and still be 5 feet or whatever your altitude was. If you descend below the cliff...

    Compass Error on attempting yo take off at canal lock

    (edited) The answer is no. I took off from a bridge yesterday and had compass error. I took off in ATTI anyway and it flew, but in hindsight it was stupid to do that. I regretted it and landed in ATTI right away again as it was drifting too much with a lot of trees about and not a large landing...

    Need an Opinion - Privacy Issue?

    I just don't fly around people and go for nature shots and lighthouses these days. Filming people is just not worth it if you know what I mean.

    Already bored - how do you stay excited to fly your P3?

    For me, at home there is not a lot of interesting things to photograph around, and I am busy and rarely have time to fly. Lots of green tree canopy that looks uniform from above, the local city is within five miles of an airport so limits good city shots, and no amazing architectural marvels...

    Effects of running a battery to empty

    A question: It is stated that you don't want to run your battery all the way down or you will ruin your battery. What does that mean exactly? I ran a battery to empty (well to 6-8%) which has maybe 10 charges on it. It seems fine. Should I worry that it might fall out of the sky at some point...

    New P3 Advanced (No SD Card or iPhone wire)?!

    It should come with a 16 GB SD card and a USB cable, but the USB cable will not work for an iPhone. You will need to use the charging cable that came with your iPhone.

    How many people actually balance their props?

    I have a quick question, for those who balance their props by applying a small piece of scotch tape, do you apply to the top side or under side of the blade? Does it make a difference?

    ND filters, what ND value works best and rules of thumb?

    Hello! So there are tons of threads about ND filters, where to buy and if people like them. I just received a set of filters (ND2, ND4, ND8 and ND16) which can of course be combined into lots of combinations. No where have I seen a recommendation on a sunny day as to what I should use? I know if...

    Commercial License for Real Estate?

    I would set up an informal business model where I take one or two photos of the property with a standard camera, charge for that, and throw in the aerial photos for free.

    DJI Remote Controller Monitor Hood (for Tablets) Nexus 7 No Fit

    Thanks for the heads up. I use a N7 and I have a hood ordered from DJI and they have been sitting on the order. So to cancel or trim it when it does arrive. Does anyone have an alternate hood people recommend for the Nexus 7?

    A question about hand catching the P3

    I always hand catch. But if and when I teach my wife to fly on her own and she flies when I am not around, then I would not want her to hand catch and have her auto-land. I would never forgive myself if she messed up with a hand-catch when I was not around while I feel fully confident doing it...
