Thanks for the feedback! Yes the video was shot in 2.7. The distance to the back of the castle in the POI shot (Gillette Castle Park in Connecticut) was 1950 feet and video transmission started breaking up a bit, but only at the furthest point. The castle probably blocked line of sight at that...

I got up early this morning and took this video. My P3S was at the edge of it's range but it hung in there. This was my first attempt with the 'point of interest' feature. The castle is a perfect subject. It was 18 degrees, brrr, but I kept the gear warm until take-off and had no issues...

P8001 is the polar pro part number for the same three-filter set for the P3 standard. The good news: it's usually less expensive! I have them and I recommend. They're a great place to start and experiment. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Wow! Your job is a lot cooler than my job. What model are you flying? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

The FAA # can be written or labeled inside the battery compartment though. There is no requirement that it be visible on the external surface of the drone...it's better if it is imo, but not required Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I'm glad you can fix yours. Just remember: CA glue is your friend Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I was messing around with the course lock feature and the phantom is going in reverse with the camera facing backwards. I pulled back to slow it and it just went back faster lol! Making it through the gate was the end of the good luck! The copter was going a lot faster than my brain that's for...

You can see my wreck in the video above. Battery got partially ejected so power got cut immediately. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I did the same thing today. I took the gimbal mounting plate off and glued the corners back on. All eight of the ribbon cord pins got ripped out of the connector so they needed to be relocated. You only need 2 of the clear gimbal clips. I see you used all four which could be a problem if you...

PL filter will minimize water glare, blue the sky and deepen colors. I definitely think if you're getting filters anyway, it's worth getting a PL. UV filters were a big deal with film, but they're obsolete in digital photography because the sensors aren't affected. UV filters are good if you...

Thank you! That screw was exactly what was causing the problem. It was very loose and, you're right, it's a delicate little screw. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Thanks. I jut tried that and it went even more haywire than in the video. It was swinging around every which way. Then i got a warning that the 'gimbal motor overloaded' so I turned it off. Thanks for trying. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I'm new with to drones and flew my P3S into a bush and tumbles to the ground through the bush from about 5 feet and landed upside down. It came down pretty easy so there's no visible damage, but now the gimbal makes a grinding noise and won't stabilize. Has anyone had this happen before? Is...
