    It can't be this hard to get my footage?!

    why would you not just use a card reader? I am assuming if you have final cut you are familiar with video editing. I always toss card into a card reader first. i dunno, maybe my workflow is different, but i have edited with FC and no issues using a cardreader

    New guy..fluttered and frustrated

    read the manual, watch the videos Update the controller and phantom itself. Do the calibration of compass in an area free from metal, or concrete with out your phone or even the controller near by. (at least 20 ft away) Then fly. If yuo arent familiar with quad copters and the flight...

    P3S and… speedlight

    I have a few yongnuo (speed light clones) and w 4 batteries they are good weight. I'd expect 30% of the weight of a p3. Seems to heavy to try to carry and the large shape would cause all sorts of weird wind resistance

    iPad mini 4 or Nvidia Shield k1

    im sticking with apple devices persionally. They hold their value, and tend to be more reliable.

    How do I get sound?

    the prop noise from 100 ft away is pretty loud. I cant imagine hearing anything but the props from on board the craft.

    Do you own any cheap drone

    Syma X11 is about the same size (i have also had a hubsan knock off). I like both, but the X11, can accept a larger battery from the X5C-1 if you tape it to the outside. It makes it heavier, but this allows it to fly better (for me) in the wind outside, and if you set it into high speed mode...

    Camera and Gimbal Lock

    id like another one, but i have read people having issues with the 3d printed ones on ebay. Anyone have a cheap solution that works well? The stock one is a pain to get on and off my P3S and every time i feel in danger of damaging the camera/gimball

    Signal Lost

    Does your dji go app connect? If so, do your motors activate when you CSC activation command? If not, can you see the phantoms Wifi SSID?

    Do you own any cheap drone

    Syma X11, or the X22 (even smaller) are good for flying inside a living room or even a bedroom. (as long as you dont kick it up to high speed mode)

    First Post and A successful first flight day

    Welcome. Getting a very gentle stick movement to translate to smooth video does take practice and i am still learning. Get an X5C1 or other quad with some spare batteries to extend your flight time and gain greater dexterity. Also, if you havnet ever shot with movement on a video camera, or...

    FPV with iPhone6 on P3S?

    Yes it works. 5 mins on this forum or the Dji site or a Google search will tell you that not to mention the several people in this thread that also told you it would. I would suggest reading up a Lot more before attempting to fly it. Enjoy
