    Just ordered a phantom 3 standard and I’m excited

    There is no need for drone flyers to be able to fly manually, because they are never going to get into a situation where this would help anything.

    The Phantom 2 Vision 2+ looked just like that.

    Just ordered a phantom 3 standard and I’m excited

    If the seller advertised that as a Phantom 3, you should claim for item not as described. Whatever you paid, it was too much. The Phantom 2 series is so primitive that it's nothing to get excited about.

    Don't even think of flying in your home. Take it outside to a large, open area where there's nothing to run into. Practice indoors isn't going to help you and risks damaging the drone and things in the house. Your drone isn't going to have proper GPS reception within the house so it won't have...

    As Height Changes From Cliff to Valley

    Even if the RTH height was set to the minimum, on loss of signal the drone is still going to ascend to the set height above the launch point before coming home.

    As Height Changes From Cliff to Valley

    The same thing that happens when a plane or a bird flies over a valley. Your drone is a flying machine, not a following terrain machine. Your drone has no way to tell whether the ground below is 10 feet below or 10,000 feet below. It matters not whether the relative height is positive or negative.

    How to focus P4

    There's no real need to focus. The drone's autofocus function works very well.

    Recommendations on what iPad for Go app and Phantom 3 pro

    In post #12, the OP explained that he has bought a Mini 4 so that's of no relevance to him (if it's true). The tablet doesn't have to work with the drone. The tablet has to work with the app and if it does, the app and controller are what has to work with the drone.

    This has nothing to do with firmware or any version of the app. Any version of the app or firmware will give you a camera view. The reason you see a how to connect screen, is because the tablet is not getting any connection and the connection comes through the cable. I know you said you've tried...

    The tablet you use doesn't have to work with the drone. It just has the work with the app. The app works equally well with the P3 Pro and P3 Advanced

    Recommendations on what iPad for Go app and Phantom 3 pro

    There are those who think bigger is better, but others prefer the smaller and lighter screen for easy handling. I myself have flown with an 8 inch tablet for 10 years and think that's perfect and plenty big enough. There is no "best firmware" ... any version should be as good as any other.

    Photogrammetric processing of a shaded valley floor

    The way to deal with shadows is to shoot on an overcast day.

    This sounds very unlikely. There are a lot of users recommending the Mini 6 here: https://www.phantomhelp.com/tips/best-tabletsphones-for-dji-go.18

    lost over the sea - need help with the log

    In cases like this where the data just stops, the data can only be useful to eliminate other potential causes for the loss of the drone. Your data stops with the drone flying forwards and a little right at full speed (13.4 metres/sec). It was out in the open with no obstacles to block signal...
