    H265 on Mac?

    Try this: When selecting H.265 codec, change your wrapper to .mp4 instead of .mov. See if that doesn't solve your problems with the Mac. ;)

    How to keep Aircraft Steady on decent

    Depending on rate of descent, you could be encountering the effects of Vortex Ring State, which describes the instability encountered when a multicopter encounters the disturbed air from its own propellor wash. This effect is most noticeable when descending in still air.

    P3 altitude record 980m

    So if you're really gonna keep it to yourself, then why post on the Inspire 1 Pilot forum, asking someone to try out going above 500m with their Inspire? You've pretty well blown your credibility and it seems you're just not convinced that you're doing anything wrong. So let it be on your...

    Correct way to point antennas on P3?

    This guy is totally wrong about antenna orientation (IMHO, never trust a guy who wears funny hats ;)). Please take a look on page 7 of the P3 manual. The antennas are at 45 degrees and slightly apart, like rabbit ears. Assuming you hold the transmitter at roughly 45 degrees, that would mean the...

    Caught out in the rain

    2trickpony has it right. Of course liquid and electronics don't mix, but it's fresh- not salt-water, and if you took precautions to dry your P3 completely, it should have no long term effects.

    Caught out in the rain

    Your comment does not address the situation. He wasn't asking whether it's a good idea to fly in the rain, but whether there was any damage possible from doing so. Battery safety is not affected, unless somehow the contacts got wet, but even that is unlikely to cause "combustion." Did you even...

    Yet another newbie?

    No photos possible while filming video. Yes, you can set time-lapse mode with the shutter button in the app. Press and hold the button in photo mode. You can then select time-lapse at various intervals from the selections that appear. If you are wanting a time-lapse of a decent interval, don't...

    Tips for Newbies ......

    In photo mode, press and hold down the shutter button in the app. A semi-circle will appear that allows selection of burst mode, AEB, time-lapse. It may still only be possible to do the AEB with the shutter button on the app vs the controller. Haven't checked that with the latest app/firmware...

    No 60 FPS when shooting in FullHD

    US use NTSC. Europe use PAL.
  14. Q

    Have you ever done this?

    +1 Be aware of the winds and eddies around the building corner. Can be very tricky. Once you're clear of the building you should be in smooth wind, but be aware that wind speeds increase with altitude, so being 40 stories up will probably have much higher winds than at ground level. How high is...

    H3-3D Anti-interference Reinforcement Board

    thongbong, you are partly right: The power filter is designed to filter out the interference to the video out signal from the gimbal for FPV purposes. It is NOT designed to deal with Jello, which is caused by airframe vibrations or wind buffeting the gimbal. The filter board is connected between...
