Stunning!Here is one. To the summit it is actually 3000 feet.

Do t be sorry for the rant. There will be enough bozos out there to spoil it for everyone else. It's inevitable.Glad to see you are in Arizona where the limit is 400 ft. Sorry but your one of the guys well read about. Drone up at 2000 ft in commercial airspace or a Cesna windshield crashed by a drone and the pilot was severely injured.
Get my drift. Fly safe and do us all a favor. But I guess in the mountains that height above ground is not dangerous. Sorry for the rant.
Yeah those are really nice shots. I love that type of thing. I was flying a P2V+ earlier this year in Nepal and had lots of problems with GPS. Those gorges are so deep (more than 10,000' sometimes) that there were quite a few locations I could never get more than 4 or 5 satellites. P3 is better in that regard it seems to me. I had 20 satellites once flying in Scotland.
acherman, do you have problems with GPS or losing signal with all those trees and in those narrow canyons?
Here in Arizona we have an abundance of wide open spaces and no trees to worry about (at least down here in the desert). Here is my latest video. The 500 meter limit wasn't an issue with this particular mountain as it was only 1200 vertical feet up from the parking lot.
Can you say which hardware (Android/IOS) that you are using? Is it freezing? etc. How reliable is it. I'm looking to buy something because the Galaxy Tab S freezes all the time with all other apps disabled.Here is one. To the summit it is actually 3000 feet.
Hi tmyc. I'm using an Acer Iconia 8 Tab running Android 4.4.2 and the latest DJI Go. I was crashing every time but once I turned the local video caching it has been very stable.Can you say which hardware (Android/IOS) that you are using? Is it freezing? etc. How reliable is it.

I had a Lisa too (big floppies) and remember the Mac 1 coming out - great days!!Dear scooterchris. please explain to us how you get the mentioned altitude. And if you may, show us the configurations and versions you are using. Plot Thickens!
(I haven't t had so much fun since my Lisa became Mac!)
Great video.Here is one. To the summit it is actually 3000 feet.
On the Tom's Thumb video I assume? It is a summit registry. When someone climbs to the top, they can sign their name as proof that they climbed it. It has to be in a weather proof box obviously.Chris. What is the green box on the top of the rock? Beautiful work, by the way.
I am guessing it is a Geocache box.On the Tom's Thumb video I assume? It is a summit registry. When someone climbs to the top, they can sign their name as proof that they climbed it. It has to be in a weather proof box obviously.
Well, at last there is some decent, real music, with the shots. A couple of very nice shots, too. While flights over 100m are not allowed in areas where there is habitation, this footage hardly represents a danger to anything, and the pilot of any aircraft flying at that altitude in that setting is the one being irresponsible. But then I guess that's already been said. I couldn't resist the comment on the decent music.Here is one. To the summit it is actually 3000 feet.
I have 3 batteries. The Supers were shot with 2. When doing these long flights a lot of the energy is spent on getting to the target and then getting home. Toms Thumb was only a mile away so it takes about 2 minutes out and 2 minutes back. I try and keep my flights down to about 15 minutes of safe flying time. I'm still pretty much an amateur at smooth clean flying and so there is a lot of video that ends up on the digital cutting room floor. It is tricky because I am using the video for both vidography and to pilot the P3. That means much of the video is me looking around assessing the best angles etc.
Here is a video of Mt. McDowell that is a combination of three separate days of flights over 3 weeks. It is 2 miles out and 1500 feet up to the summit so it is really pushing it.
