    Should I be worried, obstacle avoidance issue?

    Last time I was flew my P4P the obstacle avoidance beeped 8 - 10 different times, at least, per battery. At times it was a single quick beep and others it lasted for a second or so. Distance to obstacle also varied. There were no obstacles. At one point I was 393 ft high and it just started...

    Powervision

    The Powervision PowerEye looks interesting, but at $3988 it's a little out of my price range. I would love interchangable lenses. PowerEye | Professional Camera Drone with Dual Viewing Not sure what to say about the PowerRay. PowerRay Underwater Robot | Redefine Recreational Fishing

    Need help Please. Flying near open air concert in the park

    Talked to one of the city of Phoenix park rangers today. First time in a long time I've seen one at this part. He said there would be no problem flying.

    Hey Traveler, Thank. I thought I read that somewhere but couldn't remember where or when.

    Can we fly in National Forests?

    There is also this: Unmanned Aircraft Systems | US Forest Service Thought this excerpt from the above link was interesting. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)(link is external) has regulatory authority over all airspace, including recreational use of airspace by model aircraft (See FAA...

    Need help Please. Flying near open air concert in the park

    Thanks for the reply tj. Probably what I will do. Any crowds will be on the upper level of the park. No danger of flying over people. It has been my experience most people avoid the lower section. More desert like and less park like.

    Why are my photos so dark?

    Easiest suggestion. Set exposure to S shutter speed. Set the shutter speed you want. Then change the picture setting from single shot to AEB Auto Exposure Bracketing. You have a choice of 3 or 5 pictures per button press. I always have the histogram turned on. Either using manual...

    Need help Please. Flying near open air concert in the park

    Quick question, I hope. A city park here in Phoenix, where I usually fly, is having an open air concert. Now the park is divided into two sections. An upper and a lower park, where flying is allowed in the lower part. I've done a google search and found no city restrictions. Is there any...

    Follow action with only yaw?

    Taking the question from Jim Roof in another direction, or rather in no direction. Is there any way to coordinate the gimbal with altitude? Using Active track is a great idea. Will be using that a lot. Is there any way to have the P4P hover in one place and follow the action? As in Active...

    Issue With NFZ

    I've done it. Hospitals are my favorite. I've talked to everyone from the head of the nursing staff to the head of the janitorial staff. No one had any idea why I was calling. One person was so confused that they thought I was asking for a helicopter to be dispatched to my location. I've...

    Am looking for another battery for my P4P. To save a little $ will end up getting the 5350 mAh. Have almost $200. in credit at Best Buy so I was looking for someone selling it that Best Buy will price match. Best Buy doesn't seem to sell the bigger battery anyway. I was surprised when I...

    First Attempt at Photo Editing

    trippf33, No. Basicly you take multiple shots at different exposures. With the P4P you can choose 3 or 5 shots. These are then combined into one image using the photo editing software or a stand alone HDR app. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. In other words it, more or less, uses the...
