In Duluth, MN, I will fly down to 20F. Not much difference in performance, but flights aren't much longer than 10 min, because of cold fingers. Make sure you start off with warm batteries.

Yes, that will work. Your pilot license never expires. Medical not required, unless you start flying a "real" airplane again.

Getting a 333 is not the end of the requirements. There is still state licensing, insurance, flight ops manuals that include checklists, maintenance procedures, and record keeping. Focus on building up a complete program and operating in the most professional manner that you can. Once you step...

What do you use for gloves? Keeping my hands warm is the biggest issue I have with temps below freezing.

The date of the firmware changed but nothing changed on the actual firmware file itself. You should be fine.

It is listed under the other camera menus, style I think. I had to look for it also.

FYI, I was flying today with the new RC Firmware and wanted to use the HDR settings, however they were no longer an option when holding down the shutter button. After a little closer look, the HDR and other manual controls are now located under the camera index button and the little camera icon...

I chose the P3P over the Inspire because I want to be as discrete as possible when flying. There is still a lot of bad publicity in the industry, so, for now, I want to be as unnoticeable as possible. Once UAV operations get more common, I will certainly consider an Inspire, but by than, there...

Check out Kolor.com I have been using their software for many years and it is top notch for 360's and virtual tours.

For most smaller real estate photos I mount my Sony A7R on a 20ft Painters pole, turn on the camera wifi and take photos using my Iphone to view and trigger the camera. It really works great and I get higher quality images then with the P3. Of course, the P3 is great for many other types of...
