I try to over expose just a hair during sunset. And under expose or 0 out during sunrise. Settings are always manual. Shutter at twice fps. Using nd filters to achieve the correct EV.

I try to never fly in auto. Always set iso to 100 and shutter speed twice your recording FPS. then use your exposure meter and add ND until it get close to 0. +.3 or so is fine. But the 2x shutter speed is ideal to mimic our natural motion blur.

is cell service required??

try enabling multiple flight modes in options?

my galaxy tab says "gps device not supported" when trying follow me. GPS on tablet is enabled.

yes

Ooo....you must've hit C2 BEFORE hitting C1....

C1: cook me breakfast C2: self destruct

It does say right in the book....don't operate near other 2.4ghz devices. Just saying.

The best shots come from manual settings where one would play with iso and shutter speed and take multiple shots to play with in post processing. Auto does a pretty decent job but learning your manual settings will yield better results. Also for bright sunny days, look into some filters.

It's got to be firmware or app related. When I first got the phantom and using my galaxy tab. Not a single problem. Smooth video feed. No crashes. Perfect. Now I can hardly fly due to latency issues of the video feed during flight. Not to mention the app crashing mid flight. Nothing on the...

Pull string....
