    Crash and burn. Gimbal destroyed.

    Lamp post at 0:04. After shooting this clip, I changed video settings and went to do it a second time but started too low. I'm across the street standing under light pole and under flight path. They started yelling but it was too late... I have fired it up and seems to run ok. Motors spinning...

    Crash and burn. Gimbal destroyed.

    I was flying today and capturing some footage of my sister and brother in laws new house. I got a couple stills then decided to do a video flying back and up from the driveway. I crashed into a light post across the street. Fell down 20 feet onto the sidewalk and the gimbal/camera broke off. The...

    The moment Your realize you left your SD card at home

    This is back in early 2015 before I got my P3P. After spending a couple weeks practicing with my P2 in a huge open field I packed everything up in my new GPC backpack and hiked up a couple hours into the mountains in Colorado outside Vail. -No Memory Card Error- Crap! Oh well I just enjoyed...

    Polarizer filters

    I just bought the 3-pack for P3. Purchased directly from Polar Pro and saved 15% with code sharkpro (or proshark, i forget). They are also including a free filter case for orders from their website. I was impressed with the quality of the "free" case (filters are a bit pricey though).

    Would you fly?

    That's definitely true. I use mine as a rough guide only. If it feels windy I use it to check speeds and especially gusts. If it's gusting above 15 or so, then I would be less inclined to fly. I generally double mph at altitude. I've also found that I usually overestimate wind speed when I...

    Would you fly?

    WeatherFlow. It's a small blue device that requires a smart phone. It's on Amazon. I got mine on eBay. There are other devices that are standalone though I haven't tried any of them.

    Would you fly?

    I use a Weather Flow wind meter. Portable and plugs into headphone jack and has a companion app that will give sustained and gust speeds as well as direction and location. I picked one up for about $25 and has been a nice addition to my kit.

    Basic firmware update question

    Be sure to reformat card prior to updating via micro sd card. I forgot last time and then it corrupted the card, causing loss of a handful of files. Reformatted card and then added firmware file, and completed update just fine. I haven't seen anywhere DJI telling user to format card prior to...
