Sorry to tell you but WP3 is set to 98ft...right where the ground increases significantly in altitude. I suspect that is where you are going to find your drone.

Thank you!! I was searching all over for that solution - worked for me!

They are available on the FAA website anyway - not like I have to worry about giving away anything that isn't already public :)

Thanks for the feedback. It's an interesting idea. I've just been hired to do some landscaping work and one of the properties has a ton of lights and so they want to do that at night. I was asking around today and someone made the same comment about shooting that scene and I thought it made a...

I put in information about height and also provided details that I would be pre-programming the flights and running them during the daytime first to confirm clearance. You will almost certainly be asked to have a VO when flying, so you might as well go ahead and put in there that you will have...

Really wasn't hard - just go to their website and follow the instructions. Just make sure to look at the performance requirements and make sure that you have put something into the text that answers all of the items and pay particular attention to providing details of how you have been trained...

Thought you might like this video of my neighbors house - shot (mostly) on my trusty P3A. Recommend HD if you have the bandwidth. Can't wait to get the P4Pro. I might just do the whole thing again Happy Holidays! (14 CFR § 107.29 Daylight operation Waiver Number: 107W-2016-00713)

Nice! I've used the same music - nice piece :)

Some people have been having problems with the new panorama code. If you are struggling there is an option in the app to switch to the legacy panorama mode - have you tried that?

Android version is out in Beta only at the moment.

This should not be a surprise. I knew about this because IT'S IN THE LITCHI MANUAL.

People flying APM, Pixhawk, MultiWii etc. usually build them themselves. This means that they actually understand. Compare the APM/Pixhawk pages on Facebook with the Phamtom pages and you will find a very different mindset. One group is about problem solving, understanding how things work and...

If you don't use 3rd party apps then you are missing out on a LOT of functionality. The amount of things that Litchi/Autopilot can do for you is amazing, and can help you get shots that you could never get flying manually. What mode was the switch in at the time of the crash? If this was in...

If you're going to fly using waypoints then yes. If you want the ability to keep the camera facing an object while you fly with ease then yes. If you're just flying around your area manually without any interest in smooth cinematic video then probably not worth it. Here's an example. I still...

My neighbor asked me not to fly over their house so...I don't fly over their house. Stress relieved. Good neighbor relations maintained.
