    any reason to keep P3s now that I have a Mavic Pro?

    Not sure if I should keep the P3S and do some risky things (routes) (mods)...or just try to sell it. Doubt it has much resale value.

    Litchi first impressions.

    I too have noticed this in these conditions. I take off on top of a hill. That point is 0 feet in altitude. Fly west for 500 meters off the side of the hill. The AGL at that point is 100 feet below my take off point. If I set a POV that is -100 feet below take off point, then set camera to...

    Something Good To Say

    all positive here...except for my wanting to spend another $1k on a Mavic when I have not broken my P3S yet.

    Interpolation on waypoint mode - Litchi

    interpolate gradually changes the gimball on the way from 1 way-point to the next. If you do not hit interpolate, the bird will fly from 1 way-point to the next and as soon as it hits that way-point, will change the gimbal to the next POI very abruptly. then fly that way untill you change the...

    Litchi problem: Crashed when mission DIDN'T cancel

    sorry...either way it was user error. you planned a mission that flew into trees. it was just doing what you told it to do.

    4 months with P3S...now itching for a Mavic....too soon?

    i have tried Litchi, used all the modes. I just think I want the longer range and smaller size. Anyone else made the jump from P3S to Mavic in such a short time?

    Drones mentioned on the radio this morning

    There is a video on youtube where a guy took his new Mavic for a 3.5 mile range test on maui flying off the side of Halleakala (sp). Problem is....his controller said he was at 30 feet.... but he too off 6,000 feet above the valley floor and flew accross the valley. If you have ever been to...

    What are your pilot stats?

    mine reset some how. only shows 8 flights @ 39 mins. I think I cleared the local cache before I uploaded to the cloud. :( Should be closer to 20 flights and 4 hours.

    WHAT Should I Do?

    I have had my P3S for 3 months now. I will have a Mavic Pro very soon. Already prepping my wife for the $1,000 spend. The smaller size, higher speed, and farther range have me suckered in. The camera spec are close enough, but the tap to focus is almost a deal breaker.

    Day or Night Flights, What do you Prefer

    I am torn. Photography is a hobby of mine. The P3S camera has very poor high ISO noise performance that to me makes the footage unusable. All things considered, I prefer day time flights.

    Do large metal objects mess with the compass during flight? After calibration.

    Say I am in a big field. I either have a known good compass calibration, or a make a new one. Then I decide to go fly along side a large freight train several hundreds of yard away. Does that freight train, or any large metal object give me a risk of messing up my compass calibration mid flight?

    RTH - I have never used it -

    I tested it one time. I know how it works. The real test is if it kicks in when you need it (lost connection). Untill that time, you truly never know.
