    Broken gimble plate and grey wiring w/ photos

    That may be an easy fix, but the problem is, if you crack the seal on the shell to get in there and make repairs, it voids your warranty. I'm assuming if that was your first flight, it's still under warranty. Might be better off to send to Dji to get them to fix it.

    Live Streaming From P3 Standard?

    Oh, trust me, I have thought about the regulatory angle of all of this. I am Part 107 licensed, insured, etc. The "event" I will be shooting is a parade. So I am HOPING that I can ride in the back of a truck and fly the Phantom while on the move, (which 107 made legal) a street or two over from...

    Live Streaming From P3 Standard?

    I thought of that as well. I have a Nvidia Shield K1, so it does have HDMI port. But if I do that, he will be getting exactly what I see on my SCREEN, correct? Including all of the flight telemetry, the whole enchilada. I know he wont be wanting that. If it will be only the camera view and thats...

    Live Streaming From P3 Standard?

    I recently had a guy say that he may want to use me to help him film a major event in my area. Or at least thats what I THOUGHT he said. I talked to him yesterday and he mentioned that if he hires me for this, I will have to supply a live feed of my coverage. So I wouldn't be FILMING it for him...

    NO FLY ZONES

    Is ALL of your business within the DC NFZ? I doubt that. On home inspections outside of the NFZ the Phantom 4 will still be a valuable tool. But yeah, ya better go get that license first before you do ANYTHING with it commercially.

    Dji Go App F-Mode Issue

    No, I have a Nvidia Shield K1 with Android, running Dji Go 3. Again, Litchi still works perfectly in this mode, so that is leading me to believe it is not the tablet or the drone causing the issues.

    Dji Go App F-Mode Issue

    I did a flight yesterday and was trying to use the Dji Go app in F-Mode to set up some waypoints. I did this on Thursday with no issues at all. When I tried yesterday, the status indicator at the top of the screen was a different shade of green than usual, and when I switched to "F-Mode" on the...

    OH NO!!!

    Just ship the battery to where you're going via UPS, USPS, FEDEX, whatever. Thats how we get them, in the mail. Just make sure you check with shipper on how it should be packaged and labeled. Heck, I just got my third battery in the mail just last week.

    How Did you study for the Part 107 test?

    Is all I did was use the FAA Test Study Guide. Of course I had been reading up on stuff and learning for six months prior to that as well. Bottom line, it's no big deal. Use the FAA guide and maybe the other things msinger shared and trust me, you'll do fine. DEFINITELY avoid using some kind of...

    Video Lighting

    Fade Correction? I am not seeing that as a tool in my video editing program. I use Cyberlink Power Director 12. Is that maybe not a feature on that program?

    Video Lighting

    I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get the best lighting down for videoing real estate. As we all know, on a beautiful, bright, sunny day the video will be amazing on 3 sides, then on one things are totally washed out because of the sun glare. I have heard about the "Golden...

    Took The Part 107 Test Today

    Did any of you catch any numbers as to how many people were testing? Where I went, they had 4 today, they were expecting 25 in the coming week.

    After the crash

    I have a Phantom 3, not 4, but I think my answer is relevant either way. Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can know as to the extent of the damage until you fire it up and fly it some more, which you say you have already done. If it were me, I would plan my next flight around...
