    The Phantom 3 Standard can still stand proud and love it

    You're flying fine! And as I mentioned, 2.7k is still better than Blu Ray. 4K is useful for cropping and editing, but 2.7k still provides for amazing clarity! Cheers Ian

    How to crash your drone...

    I found using the little map screen in the lower left corner the most useful for idenitfying the orientation of the drone; especially if you tap the map and it expands to full screen. The arrow always shows you which way the drone is pointing. Cheers Ian YouTube.com/IaninLondon

    How to crash your drone...

    "Roof rash" :) :) :) Disorientation of the controls when flying in different directions is so hard to get used to when you're getting a little panicked. Just remember that if you let go, it stops where it is! Then do the tiniest sideways movement to check you're going in the right direction...

    Beginner tips

    I think you're being a bit harsh here. He's asked for general adviice on what not to do, a lot of the advice we can give is not in the manual, and forums are generally for helping each other, not deriding new starters. Sometimes you do try and buy a decent model so you don't have to spend...
