    Advice on which Phantom to buy....

    The P3P has a USB video downlink as opposed to a typical Wi-Fi downlink. This provides a better live video feed (depending on your distance and interference from the controller to the drone.

    Help Recovering Corrupted MP4 After Crash

    If the memory card you inserted was external, either something got lodged in the card reader, the card popped out, or the battery came loose. It's unlikely that a crash alone can corrupt data, unless there was severe damage to the card.

    Will this work?

    Not necessarily. Specifically talking about Android devices, you can choose "Device Only", which uses only GPS and no WWAN (cell data). On Apple devices, it will automatically adjust to its equivalent of the "Device Only" mode. The map may not function properly, however. You are correct in that...

    Still shaking ... lol

    This is just an assumption, but if the quad is in Attitude mode and happens to lose RC signal, it would likely RTH after switching back to P-GPS. If no GPS signal is found, the aircraft will hover.

    Need clarification on RTH parameters

    Depending on your RTH Parameters, your drone may ascend straight up to your RTH altitude before landing. This may still happen even within 20 meters of the Home Point.
