    P4P+ latest update

    Your not missing anything. I have the pano feature and it's crap. The P4P seems to produce a RAW and JPG file and did a 3x3 pano when I tried it. Both RAW and JPG seemed to have a strong tone curve added that was not present in my 'normal' raw files. Also, the overlap was not sufficient for...

    Firmware Update 01.05.0300

    Not happy with this firmware due to missing and/or corrupted images as well as the gimbal behavior/camera orientation switch when pointing straight down. Is it possible to roll back the firmware on the P4P and the controller? If not, has anyone tried resetting all settings and a 'clean...

    Firmware Update 01.05.0300

    New Firmware SUCKS! I've had to do IMU Calibrations with each flight over the past 2 days. Getting the 180 degree flip when pointing gimbal straight down. Have had lots of corrupt images. Took off this morning and shot 3 frames and then hit Play only to find there were no images recorded...

    When gimbal is looking down, picture turns upside down (flips 180°)

    Just updated my firmware after holding off for months (was interested in the pano option). Immediately noticed this - ridiculously frustrating. I was shooting photos rather than video but still makes compositions very difficult and flying harder when you literally don't know which way is straight.

    Firmware Update 01.05.0300

    Do I need to update the P4P firmware to get the Pano options or just the app? I'm on: App 4.1.20 Aircraft 01.03.0509 Remote Controller 01.04.00.00 Held off updating with all the issues for no fly zones

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    From the FAA: “This would be permitted if you have permission from the property owner to stand on the property while flying, have airspace authorization (if outside of Class G airspace), and follow all other Part 107 requirements (no flight over people/maintain visual line of sight/etc.). It...

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    Thanks BigAl, But my point is that I would never be flying OVER people. I would be 85 feet away from them. In windless conditions, even with a catastrophic prop failure, I can’t believe the drone would fly forward 85 feet. Also any RTH failsafe would send the drone up and back (away from...

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    I searched a bit more about flying over schools and found Columbia University has an explicit no-fly statement. That doesn't seem to be the case elsewhere. I read through the 107 rules again and see nothing about flying near people. I'm not trying to be antagonistic and I understand the...

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    Good questions BigAl, Take off is on school property. Had not thought to pursue permission but good idea. No other operations in the air. School building is boringly rectangular without any wires.

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    Thanks With the Birds, That's the first I've heard of a minimum distance rule. I can't find it in 107 or elsewhere in regards to UAS.

    Photographing crowds from a distance?

    Hi, Trying to figure out if this is legal under 107. A high school football game takes place. I fly my drone up and hover over the high school building. I take a photo of the gathered crowd from 100' up. I then turn around and land. I never fly 'over' people. Distance to nearest person is...

    iPad Pro 10.5" + P4P = Perfect Combo

    Yup - I use it without a neckstrap and it can be a bit tough/tiresome after 30 minutes but not bad.
