    It just flew away! - <correction> it didn't fly away at all.

    I'm a newbie with my P4, had it about a month now. I flew at the beach a couple of weeks ago, just over the breaking waves and around the cliffs, and at one point my bird started moving up-up-and away despite full left-stick-down and right-stick-forward (it was oriented towards me). I didn't...

    DJI Phantom 7...First Look!

    Lmfao, good one! Better remember to remove those prop restraints before touching off with that sucker. I don't think the "Care Refresh" will cover much more than cleaning the bugs off the windshield of this sucker.

    I tried installing HandBrake but the version for XP (4 or 5 versions ago) is not readily available and setup for easy install. It failed to install. I'll try DJIGO or LITCHI after running thru the suggestions from Samuraiz.

    Thanks,,, I'll give this process a try tonight. I don't intend to do any post processing (maybe down the road). Yes, Windows machine running XP. Way overdue for a new PC i'm sure.

    MOV first, then tried MP$ but that seemed come out, slow and smeary looking on playback.

    I installed MPC, and the vids don't studder or skip like before, but the color is FUBAR. Guess I need to experiment with the vid settings. Suggestions?

    Warning - new scam targets drone operators

    I had my first public flight at the beach yesterday (brand new pilot) and thought a couple of ladies were going to try that, but for some reason they seemed distracted. Must have been my hovering P4.

    Just got my P4 ~ Problem viewing video on my PC

    Hello All. I just got my P4 last week and I'm STOKED to be flying the p*ss out of it every chance I get.. So glad I got the second battery. The bird is handling beautifully but I'm getting a herky-jerky video playback on my PC. I'm downloading the vids from the mem card and viewing on my PC...
