    Amazing 360x180 P3P Panoramic from 500ft above my house

    I use defisher to take out fisheye first, then just dump the video into ICE. I've forgotten once or twice to do the lens correction, and that leads to some strange horizons.

    Amazing 360x180 P3P Panoramic from 500ft above my house

    I'm still stuck in 1080 video with 2V+....but to do quick documentation - photosynth works great for me. Pop up above a piece of real estate - show the surrounding area, and even key frame points of interest. Maybe its not art - but its crazy simple for 1080.

    Amazing 360x180 P3P Panoramic from 500ft above my house

    anybody using Photosynth? Video panos take about 60 seconds to shoot (slow rotation pointed low, medium and high) and maybe 10 minutes to process by the software. I've got a ton of these on the Photosynth web site....link below to one...

    Does anyone use the 6000 mAh battery

    I saw the video and that works fine for DJI batteries, but not my Limefuel. Got an e-mail back from Limefuel that informed me that if I put any kind of grease on the contacts (conductive or di-electric) I was going to be very very very sorry I did. Almost sent it back to Amazon, but decided to...

    Does anyone use the 6000 mAh battery

    Had it in and out now three times...and its getting a little better, but still takes two people to remove. Its not the back slide pockets (got silicone on that), its the actual blade sockets that are sticking. Has anyone ever tried conductive grease on the electrical blades? or does that...

    Does anyone use the 6000 mAh battery

    I hope someone is still watching this post....just got a Limefuel 6000 - put it in my Vision+ and couldn't get it out. Took two people and 15 minutes to pry it free. Is this normal? can't be? does it loosen up with time...I'm seriously debating if I should just send it back to Amazon.

    give me 6 months and I can settle this argument...it sounds reasonable, and it can't hurt to try.

    Lets talk battery life

    thanks to all... I will mend my way on #6. one last question: what do you do with dead phantom lipos ... are they landfill material, or is there somewhere that recycles them? does anyone refurbish these?

    Lets talk battery life

    OK - I'm with you on the 8% - been reading that all over the place...20% is my new low end. but Break-in period? what break-in period....I must have missed that chapter completely! What should I do for the first 10 cycles - land at 50% ? As for heat - I can't avoid flying in the heat...

    Lets talk battery life

    OK - I'm on my fifth battery. 1 and 2 autoland after somewhere between 50 and 65% - never sure exactly when its going to happen, so I have 'retired' those (round contact). Bought three more. One of those started autolanding at around 65% 'sometimes'. It has 42 cycles. I wrote DJI, who...

    6000 mAH Battery - Anyone Use Yet?

    un hombre - Been 7 months since this last post....still good with the OnBo? DJI just sent me a form letter saying I must be abusing my batteries because I'm only getting 60-70 cycles before they start doing the autoland thing. DJI says 300 cycles should be no problem....I'm on my fifth DJI...
