    P3P Controlling Gimbal Pitch When RC Out of Range

    I created a mission with 14 waypoints and 5 POI (2.7 miles and 15 minutes flight time). I set gimbal pitch to disabled on all waypoints and then manually moved the gimbal pitch to -42 prior to mission uploaded. The RC loss signal for about 4 minutes but the gimbal pitch never changed from -42...

    P3P Controlling Gimbal Pitch When RC Out of Range

    Confused- If the RC is not connected to the drone how is the app, either Litchi or DJI, controlling the gimbal?

    P3P Controlling Gimbal Pitch When RC Out of Range

    I wasn't certain what happened to the gimbal once signal is lost. I assumed and hoped that the gimbal would simply stay at the exact pitch/angle that it was at prior to signal loss. The fact that the firmware within the P3P forces the gimbal to 0 degrees after signal loss helps me realize what...

    P3P Controlling Gimbal Pitch When RC Out of Range

    To all that have answered, I understand that once the RC looses connection there is no control over the gimbal. My question asked how do I set the gimbal pitch, say -42 degrees, and have it stay at this angle even when the RC signal is lost. I have tried a couple of missions and each time the...

    Litchi waypoint actions out of range

    When controlling the gimbal pitch in this manner do you set the gimbal pitch option to Disabled instead of Focus POI for each waypoints or just those waypoints that is beyond RC signal range?

    P3P Controlling Gimbal Pitch When RC Out of Range

    How can I set or adjust the gimbal pitch on my P3P when flying a mission (using Litchi) that is beyond the RC range? I tried to create a mission that points the gimbal to the angle that I need while the RC and P3P is connected. However once the connection is lost the gimbal returns to level...

    Tilted Horizon – the technical background and profound solution

    The gimbal on my P3P has always pointed 3-4 degrees left of straight ahead. I have checked the set screw on the motor shaft and it is tight. I read your post about using thin wire but the space between the set screw and the flat of the motor shaft seems unlikely that a piece of wire would...

    Hey Ted, I think we discussed this in the past but want to ask again to see if any new fixes has been discovered. My P3P camera points slightly left of center and I have tried every calibration but to no avail. Anything new on this that you're aware of?

    RTH Question When Using Litchi

    Does the 65' rule apply when using Litchi as it does using DJI Go? If flying a mission, and RC signal NOT lost, does RTH cancel the mission and return home? Does the RTH button on the controller act identical to using the RTH command in Litchi with respect to the two questions above?

    Need Option For Syncing Race Render & Litchi Flight Data

    Overlaying flight data onto a flight video using Race Render can be difficult to get the syncing correct. What options have other users found to be a good sync marker that makes this easy? Sort of like using a clapper board to sync audio and video but to sync flight data and video together...

    Anyone Tried Gimbal Calibration With P3P Facing Upward???

    A P4 user suggested to do gimbal calibration with quad copter tilted back (camera facing upward), saying this would correct the camera yaw issue that so many users have complained about. Before I attempt this unorthodox gimbal calibration I wanted to check with the community to see if this...
