    When you sell your bird, do you....

    When you sell one of your drones, locally, do you demo the whole kit and kabboodle for a potential buyer? I have been wow'd by my new Mavic and therefore parting with my trusty and loyal P3S. The ad went up in craigslist today and now I am wondering how best to share with a potential buyer the...

    P3 Firmware Could firmware affect photo clarity?

    Yes, I think you're right about that. Well, I have a Mavic coming via Amazon, perhaps I should be shifting gears to that bird and educating myself on filters for it. As it is, the difference in filming with the Mavic camera compared to the Phantom will likely keep me occupied for a while!

    P3 Firmware Could firmware affect photo clarity?

    P3 Firmware Could firmware affect photo clarity?

    Ah, yes, good point. Humm...I wonder if I somehow got something on the camera lenses ....I do clean it with a microfibre clothe each time before I fly.

    P3 Firmware Could firmware affect photo clarity?

    My still photos taken by the P3S were impressively clear and crisp. It was a pleasure to use them as wallpaper on my iPad, they looked so good. But recently....a month or two ago...the clarity degraded..the stills did not have nearly the same resolution that they used to have. I've been...

    This week's "Drone's Eye View" video.

    I've been trying to film and edit weekly so as to get practice flying, filming and putting together the media in an interesting way. It kind of feels like I'm going through my own version of 'drone film school'. Here's this week's project:

    Getting Message Strong interfearance

    Yup, I get it on my PS3 all the time but as /\ said, it generally goes away when I get the drone up in the air.
