    Noob question about hand launching

    On a sandy or rocky beach or uneven ground hand catching is simple. Launching from hand isn't difficult either. There are areas that are wet, sandy etc. where I wouldn't want to set it on the ground. Off a boat there isn't (depending on the boat) a place to safely launch or land without doing it...

    Who actually calibrates their compass before every flight?

    I only calibrate after traveling long distances, like Seattle to Key West or Seattle to Maui. Or, after a firmware update (IMU, controller, batteries etc.). One time it told me to, so I did as well. Other than that, I don't. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Obstacle Sensing System - Can you still catch the P4 while it is landing?

    Hand catch all the time. Examples, on a sandy beach or steep hill. While I can take off on/from a beach towel, landing on one is a whole different story! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    P3P jpg quality improved with the last firmware update!

    Just an fyi regarding jpg quality. With July's firmware update, the jpg quality suddenly became blurred. Raw was fine. DJI said I could send my P3P back, but I didn't want to be without it. I just used the raw files. Video was always fine. Well, with the latest firmware, jpg quality is back. I...

    Christmas lights

    That would be a shame if we can't take stills at night. I have gotten some great shots using an iso of 100 and 2 to 4 second exposures. You can turn off the front led lights once you are set up. The height and distance (for cityscapes and mountain ranges) are far enough away from people any and...

    iPhone 6s+ with latest update. All seems to work fine with a one time app crash on second flight. Been fine since.

    Camera suddenly out of focus

    That is just the lens filter. I tried it off as well and it is still blurry. I might have to buy a replacement camera. :(

    Camera suddenly out of focus

    The recorded photos and video. I went back and looked at the pictures and video (I keep each outing in a separate folder) and have discovered that it is okay after the update. The day it changed is the 15th of this month and it was okay in the morning shoots, but blurry in the afternoon shoots...

    Camera suddenly out of focus

    Help! For some reason since the last update my camera is a smidge out of focus. What would an update have to do with focus on a fixed focus camera? It has always been very sharp and clear. I have even tried a Polar Filter. No difference. The lense is clean. Any one have this happen? Everything...
