    High Speed (sport mode) Speedboat chase video

    Thanx. I agree. I synced the shots with the music in the first vid, which makes it a bit jumpy. Good lesson.

    Thanx! Yes, I was in the boat.

    High Speed (sport mode) Speedboat chase video

    Thanx. I try to tilt the camera down a bit, and you only have that issue when flying forward at high speed, because the copter tilts over the camera line of sight. That's why the best shots are flying backwards in front of the boat or sideways, or behind the boat but at a higher altitude so the...

    High Speed (sport mode) Speedboat chase video

    Thanx. The horizon is indeed quite off. When flying in sport mode, especially sideways, this is a problem. Haven't figured out yet how to correct that in FCPX..

    High Speed (sport mode) Speedboat chase video

    Thanx! I used iMovie for the first vid en Final Cut Pro X for the second. It was good practice material. For smoother slo-mo I should look into the settings and capture as many frames per second as possible. iMovie only takes a maximum of 30 fps. The "jerky" turns when trying to keep the boat...

    High Speed (sport mode) Speedboat chase video

    Hi guys, I did some filming with my P4 from a boat the other day. It was going quite fast, so I really needed sport mode in order to keep up. I edited two videos, the first one on normal speed, en the other one which is mostly edited in 50% slo-mo and a bit more contrast. Used iMovie for the...

    Range extender Issues after update...

    Hi guys, did a search but couldn't find a good answer. My P2V+ functions great, had about 150 flights without problems. Didn't fly for about two months, but took the bird out to the Alps for the holiday. When I powered it up yesterday, I got a pop-up that the range extender needed an update. So...

    Got V3.0 Power?

    I owned the "old" P2V+ and recently purchased the V3.0. I have the feeling I get a LOT more sat's now (with this stock one compared with my foilmodded old one), that it is a bit quicker and I really like the 6th channel. Great quad.

    Lost my bird, ordered the new V2+

    And a compass calibration dance should fix it probably right...?

    Lost my bird, ordered the new V2+

    The subwoofer in the trunk is an issue though. I like to take my Phantom to work to fly in the afternoon or just leave it in the trunk. I don't wanna leave it on the back seat exposed so it can get stolen. Would a foil mod of the carrier protect it from magnetic fields, or would transporting...

    Lost my bird, ordered the new V2+

    Yeah I know. I've put my Phantom in the trunk often though. I'll never know what happened probably. What happens when when you don't tighten one of the props properly...?

    Lost my bird, ordered the new V2+

    So a few weeks ago, I was going for my 70th flight or so. I transported the Phantom 2V+ in the back of my car, where there is a subwoofer as well. Before take-off it asked for a compass calibration, so I did the little phantom dance. Waited for all green flashing lights, had 10 sat's, distance...

    Has anybody here owned a P2V+ for...

    Owned it for 3 months, 70 flights, never had one problem. If you want one (which you do, since you spent many hours online), just get it over with and buy one.
