[Night Hyperlapse][/] Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I second remotepilot101, but as a supplement to self studying the FAA study guide as well. Even though there's redundant studying with that it really helps retention. I was also able to pick up a surprising amount of knowledge by listening to the "Ask Drone U" and "Commercial Drones FM"...

I have been evaluating this and some other UAV-oriented weather apps for the past few weeks. Just now, I was looking at the forecast, and went to press the home button to go to the home screen. Just before I did that, the app, without ANY prompting, displayed a purchase confirmation for a...

This looks like an area in GTA5!! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

My first attempt at installing the firmware itself failed. Second attempt succeeded (although the P3S made an awful racket with its loud bleeping for about 10 minutes). Flew yesterday for 2 batteries and it was fine. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I won't tsk tsk. Video looks great. Nice flying man. I will wonder why you put an apostrophe in the word "falls", though. Perhap's people 'should ju'st 'stick apo'strophe's in front of every 's ju'st in ca'se! [emoji104] Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

CrispyClaret, I received this phone mount today. As you said no instructions but it was pretty easy to figure out from the pictures on Amazon. Just took the sim for a flight and I think this is going to be a HUGE game changer. Only minor nit is having to loosen one of the bolts to fold the...

Thanks for this!! I see three holes on that mount, I'm assuming you can hook a lanyard to any of those? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I am having a blast with my new P3S, but the floppy weak phone mount is a total bummer. Went out to fly yesterday and noticed one of the screws was missing. Drove all over town looking for a replacement, but couldn't find one. Ordered a screw kit from DJI but it won't be here until late in the...

Fantastic!!!!

Here is my first video project incorporating a drone, a refurb Phantom 3 Standard which my AMAZING wife bought me for Christmas. I have been studying drone piloting for 5 months, and practicing with a Propel Atom during that time. While I love aerial-only drone videos, I find I always want...

Just went to Home Depot and they didn't have any. Thanks for letting me know the type!! I should be able to find them.

Anyone know what kind of screws these are? I'm still Googling around sites that sell replacement parts for Phantoms and not seeing this screw in particular.

It was a little confusing to me when I got my P3S that it didn't come with a manual, so I feel your pain. The good news is there IS a manual online: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/phantom_3_standard/en/Phantom_3_Standard_User_Manual__V1.4.pdf The S1 and S2 switches are covered in the section...

Hello Phantom Pilots, I have been a lurker here for a couple weeks in anticipation of my new P3S, which arrived today. I have flown it twice today and I am IN LOVE. This seems like a great community, and I've already learned a lot, so thank you everybody! I wanted to make a post to help new...
