Lou - i tend to agree -- although i played with doing some odd things with dye and some damaged props ;) The second part is the more important part anyway

are the propellers painted or dyed? They look great! If painted - did you balance after painting? Any noticeable difference in the air?

Anything similar for us Mac folk? I could fire up a VM but would rather not if there is another option :(

Yes, but still there is the wire crossed moment - looking at the map and looking at the video and your mind trusts what it sees at times more than what the map says ... which is why I've had to use RTH Sh** happens

Amazing Tutorial - Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm primarily an amateur still photographer, and grok a lot of what you are describing when i translate it into photoshop or on1 processes ... do you have or know of a good getting started with Premier ... thanks again - and my fingers are...

You can't lock only ISO, but you do need to manage the changing light conditions when not in 'auto' mode. When in manual mode, I keep my finger on the dial and adjust as needed... more sun/light you need to compensate The difference here is that with a 'normal' dSLR you aren't moving...

There is also an option to delete video cache - i forget where I saw it but 'its in there!' I wish DJI released a **** manual, how to or even a basic data sheet on the GO app - most frustrating thing is to try and remember where esoteric settings were when you found them

Just make sure you set the height appropriately and its great! Flying in the woods where I live I keep it about 120' which clears the treetops... and after flying a bit all trees look the same - so I've used it more than once myself :)

You can also check out On1 Perfect Photo Suite (Award Winning Photography Software and Plug-ins - ON1, Inc.) ... It opens the P3P files just fine - I use it typically with lightroom - LR to manage/catalog, On1 to edit, tweak, etc. It is not as powerful as Photoshop, but most people dont use 90%...

SO - I dont know the seller, or anything related, but you CAN call the CC company, and file a dispute, which they will investigate - make take 30-90d in some cases, but they will resolve it for you.

@snerd - Thanks for this! While I am new to the P3A I've been shooting film and digital for longer than I care to admit. When I took the P3 up for its first test flight, the video was good, and the images were great for what the camera is - but I really was jonesing for a ND and/or Polarizer...

use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold one of the 'spokes' on the motor and twist the prop... Murphy's rule - if it's stuck force it, if it breaks it needed replacing anyway... I've also had issues with plastic threads on metal 'posts' with my motorcycle's tires... they tend to seize up...
