2 out of 3 dead. Sending them back.

Saudio, try this. Take off and fly the P3 to the altitude and course you want. Hover. Flip to F. A warning screen will come up. Select Course Lock and push apply to accept your course. In a hover, adjust the camera angle with left stick and gimble control. Now use your right stick only (forward...

Using the latest DJI Go app and firmware. Autonomous. Hands off. Altitude: 20 feet, Radius: 30 feet, Wind: North 10 knots. Pretty tight.

What is the "developer firmware" that is needed for this app? And why is it needed? Do you guys have the developer firmware installed? Waiting for that requirement to go away.

Yes. It works very well. We used the Black Pearl monitor during our filming of a documentary to be released soon. Our director was tethered to my controller and had a very clear picture (better than the iPad) of what we were filming.

I like this! This technique worked very well for us on a recent trip where the temperatures exceeded 95F and humidity was over 90%. We were able to run over 60 flights on two P3's in four days with no lag. However, in a very hot, very dry climate, Phoenix/Scottsdale for example, the moisture...

We just returned from Haiti after a production week with Gabriel Films on a United Nations Development Program (UNDP) funded documentary about deforestation, erosion and reforestation. The week was focused on aerial video to incorporate into the documentary. Our list of stuff: Phantom 3...

Been flying all week in support of a documentary about deforestation in Haiti. Came back to Port a Prince this evening, right before Ericka passed over. We got some heavy rain, gusty winds and a bit of thunder and lightning. It seems like the terrain in DR took a lot of energy out of this one...

Thank you for sharing your research.. I have a question about setting white balance. Have you tried "seeing" a white card with the P3P camera and adjusting manual WB for the best white situation? Setting it at 5000k seems kind of arbitrary. The other settings you offer all have well thought out...

I would say the latency is equal to the app. I tried a few different cables, lengths, adapters and it doesn't seem to make a difference on my Black Pearl monitor. If I had to guess, it's .25 to .50 sec behind "real time" in my experience.

It is called a glory. Or a pilot's halo. It's a natural optical effect. http://www.wwu.edu/skywise/a101_rainbows.html

Ok. Thanks.

Nice video, very informative. Will the HDMI connection allow me to connect a second iPad to allow someone to see what is on the controlling iPad screen?

The best fit I've found for our quad. Very well built. Same size and weight as the original P3 lens clear filter. http://taco-rc.com/taco-rc-nd-filters-set-nd4-8-16-32-for-dji-phantom-3-professional-advance-free-shipping/ Testing in full sun tomorrow.
