    2nd Outing

    Really nice piece. If I may be so bold, could you please estimate the times involved in this vignette. I mean 'time shooting', 'time planning' and 'time editing'. I think most don't appreciate the actual amount of time used to produce something like this. Thanks in advance. Sent from my...

    DJI GO 2.8.3 out

    So you were ok when we were the laggers. That's not nice [emoji4] Maybe it's simply the iOS camp got bigger. And... Given most wait a release or two to watch the Guinea pigs, that may not be a bad thing. Cheers, P Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Weird goings on near water... Home location miles off!

    Allow me to jump in with an off topic opinion. I understand $$$ is always scarce but am a strong advocate of using a separate device for flying. Dedicate a good GPS enabled tab and keep your phone for other stuff. A couple a hundred bucks gives much peace of mind. Skyward ho...! Sent from...

    What do you guys charge for aerial media?

    I am checking with my photography insurance company. I have $5M liability and asked what I need to add drone coverage. Will be attending ground school, writing exam and applying for SFOC. Can advise once I finish if you wish (unless you beat me to it, then you tell me) photos.grottoli.ca...

    Flew over a car crash real quick while stuck in traffic

    Funny you should bring that up. I have a photography business and recently added a P3P to the camera bag. I have gone by many accidents and never pulled my camera out. Not sure what the mystique is, if not the tragedy. It's probably just me but sometimes people in pain need their space and...

    Voltage Question

    This is why I put the battery info panel on the C2 button on the RC. I can toggle to it for a quick voltage check from time to time. Very handy. Happy Flying Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Toronto/ GTA

    Nice!!! To my wife's credit, she let me keep the one I bought (hehe) As for flying, flying open areas is smart, but flying tight spaces slowly is also a great way to 'feel' your bird. It's the controls and response latencies you want to get a feel for. It's way different than simply going...

    Drone Flying Do's and Dont's

    I'm not Rick but have started looking into it. For our P3's (under 2kg) here's what I have found on Transport Canada's site. I am an insured photographer looking to expand to aerial photography. First, non-commercial looks like this (kinda like, 'Be nice, clear your ice'. Canadian reference...

    .

    Whether you are in a hurry or not, is irrelevant. The market isn't waiting to cool down (ie. Housing market). Get what you can or keep it. Just be prepared to keep if your pricing is not competitive. On another note, when it comes to the topic of value and worth, consider parking your...

    Vertical Studio - Looking for Beta Testers

    Agreed. I am a beta tester but still bought the app too. It's a great app and I want to support the developers. For twenty bucks U$, it creates a lot of possibilities. Cheers Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Went to a concert yesterday and could not believe what I saw

    [In general] Whenever you go to an event, liability disclaimers are more often than not laid out on the back of your ticket stub. You go at your own risk; Sports especially. We accept that. As this trend continues, you will see more and more of it. Being properly insured is going to be...

    Went to a concert yesterday and could not believe what I saw

    While I agree that this appears unorthodox, there may be more at play here. It's possible the operator has appropriate insurance. Would be interested to know the whole story. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    Jussaguy, Mini 2 is fine. I have the 128gb with cellular (for gps naturally) and it runs tons 'o' p3p apps. Bought most of them 'cause they're all cool and do things a little differently, AND, I'm trying to support the developers without whom, we would all be using just the GO app...

    Camera, ISO, Noise....Confusion

    Similar to bracketing on a dslr. Good idea Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
