    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    I tried out the trial version of PTGui and it kept putting the picture # 34 in the middle of the picture and complaining of no points to connect . It was a picture of the ground with trees and stuff, can't understand why it could not be placed. I used ICE which worked properly but I don't see...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    I will try out the Stereographic mode you mention next. I know I am missing the back 180* of my globe but will that mode give me anything close to the shape of your "Winter Sunrise"?

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    KAOS nImagery, you are a genius! I messed around with LightRoom and PTGui for half a day trying to make one simple stitched together panoramic picture. With the Microsoft Ice I had the program downloaded , installed and a picture made in less than fifteen minutes. Thank You for your help.

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    I took two pano photos with my P4P+ yesterday. I was not able to load up my old Canon Photostitch program in Windows 10 and seeing everyone seems to be using Lightroom to stitch them together I went ahead and purchased Light room. The first Pano with 21 pictures , Lightroom said it could not...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    OK I tried out a couple shots in "Pano" mode this morning. I see in previous posts the pictures came out in both raw and JPG, all the pictures came out in JPG format (I have not messed with camera setting at all) . I was just a bit baffled by the icons for the type of "Panos" to create. I was...

    P4P Pano Mode Review | tl;dr I'm impressed

    Thanks for the reply DARana... When I got home from work this morning I downloaded the firmware from DJI to a card and tried the whole process again. I don't think the bird got updated last time as it took much longer this time. Anyway, I now see "pano" mode in the camera section. so the Pro+...

    Ok I did the calibration and that may have helped, only alarms once in a while. a couple of new questions: The camera, I have the movie mode set to 1080 P. I assume if i capture a still in while the movie camera is running I just get a screen grab at 1080 pix wide. as that seems to be what I...

    Stupid beginner questions

    Yes it comes on right away. I took it out today for my first try. I turned the drone on first this time and it still alarmed when I turned on the remote. Turned the remote off and back on and all was OK. Great first flight. It was very windy, I would not have flown my ultralight but the P4P was...

    Stupid beginner questions

    OK I had time to spend with the Phantom today. I see what seems to cause the alarm. Turning on the transmitter before the drone causes the alarm and a little red status light by the battery charge lights to lite up. Even after they link up and I can control the drone the alarm will not stop. I...

    Stupid beginner questions

    I read through the manual last night and did not find anything that had me saying "that's it!". I was wondering if I was too close to objects, the house, porch rails etc. as I was on the front deck when I tried it. I think you hit it on the head. I will have to move out into a clear area and...
