    electrolytic capacitor loose

    I'm not entirely sure what they do but had the same issue a couple of months ago. I tried to solder but it's not that kind of joint and in the end I glued it down and it works fine. There are a one or two blank places on the board for these things, which I found odd, and also only three of them...

    Real estate, beautiful home in 4K

    Really very good indeed, what are you using for the tracking shots inside, do you have a slider of some kind or a Ronin-like steadying device?

    Flooding Video with my P3A

    I'm sure the local news team would be interested in this, maybe even try some of the national/international outlets too (the BBC here in the UK have the floods as a top story). I wouldn't bother trying to sell it, to save yourself issues of FAA guidelines and tax declaration on second income...

    Video Resolution Formats and Bitrate / Data Rate

    Don't suppose anyone with more electronics expertise than me has worked out whether it's possible to output to a Ninja Star from a P3 yet?

    Good Quality Case Phantom III

    I bought a couple of cases from TriFibre and they were great in terms of price and service - even delivering Saturday at no extra cost. Am waiting for the right size case to be back in stock for my P3P and will then be travelling all over with it as I did with my P2 V+

    Shoot in 4k and downsample or shoot in 1080p direct, which gives best quality?

    +1 on the above. Your biggest problem with quality is going to be the hardware codec the camera uses to compress that data it receives from the sensor. The better the quality of what is captured to begin with, the better the end result. It's why professionals prefer to bypass the hardware codec...

    P3P vs Inspire1

    If you think the 5D MkIII and 6D are similar, you don't know much about either.

    P3P vs Inspire1

    I don't think so. I can't see any thread on the barrel of the P3, unlike the Inspire, so can't see how you could easily add any filters.

    Drone batteries catch on fire on commercial flight

    I certainly think he should be named and shamed as a complete d*ckhead.

    Let's see some videos!

    Took the other 'golden hour' before sunset yesterday and captured some amazing temples. The RTH kicked-in at one point and bought me closer to the spire than I would have liked but it turned out to be an incredible shot. This could have ended very differently though! :shock...

    Let's see some videos!

    It's just practise, I also hold the stick right at the bottom and don't get distracted by the FPV on the phone, what it relays and what is being recorded are two quite different things.

    Thanks, Mako, I appreciate the feedback. :)

    Let's see some videos!

    Up early this morning to take this video of the sunrise over the beach at Hua Hin in Thailand, during our holiday. What a beautiful country. Something about taking it way out to sea that gives you that kick in the solar plexus... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1yyshGXvcNY

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    I did the mod last weekend and have noticed almost no difference in either the number of satellites acquired or the time for acquisition. I seem to teeter on the edge of five and eventually six after anything up to 10 minutes, which is disappointing compared with the reports from other people...

    BEWARE

    If you have any of the Aluminium tape left over from doing the GPS mod, just wrap some of it around your head and you'll probably be OK... 8-)
