    A bit odd - DJI Go App

    Hi all, I've flown without any issue now for a month and the last two flights have been a bit problematic. I haven't performed any thorough tests as of yet (as this has only just started happening) but... Flight 1 - 1st battery worth of flying (22 mins) all ok, landed ok, everything fine...

    Just purchased a P3S

    I can't compare to a new unit because I only have the one, but mine was a refurb (there was still footage of the previous owners flights on the card) and you wouldn't know it wasn't brand new, absolutley spotless, as if it were just off the shelf. I'm really pleased with the purchase.

They may well have privacy issues (even though their property would be cropped out of any sales imagery)...

    Just purchased a P3S

    Hi, I think the dull/washed out look is the preferred option for potential end users as they can colour grade and mess with levels to their liking. Are you filming for yourself or for other people? :)

    Property - Drone shots - UK

    Hi, I used to do stills photography for a local estate agent (realtor if you are across the pond :) ) and here in the UK a lot of contry-wide estate agents are paying to send their agents to go on a photography course and do the photography 'in-house'. I know speaking to some of them that they...

    Hi From SouthWest UK

    Thanks for the welcome. If I may, here is my first flight with the P3S, I'm so pleased it was uneventful and it came home in one piece, albeit very cold and a tad muddy!

    Hi From SouthWest UK

    Hi, I have just aquired a P3Standard (for now) and have yet to take a flight (UK weather not great at the moment). I'm a 50 something photographer/videographer looking to expand my repertoire. I have enrolled in a Pfco course already and am giving drone operating a serious bash (hopefully not...
