I recently did my first tests with a P3 Pro. Movies from these tests may be accessed at the above URL. During the first two tests, I simply took it straight up and then used the RTH button to bring it back down. During the second test, the GPS signal was apparently weak at first, and I had to make some lateral corrections in a light breeze. During the subsequent tests, I flew it horizontally while gradually gaining confidence. During the fifth test, I used landmarks to fly it to a grocery store, where two friends were waiting in the parking lot below. They heard it but couldn't see it. They appear getting out of a dark blue car that is located six spots into the parking lot. During the sixth test, there was a fairly strong breeze, but the flight went well. I am amazed by the stability and control of this platform and the crisp 4K video. It's as if the camera is mounted on a tripod. I live in a no-fly zone. I did a test to confirm that it won't start up in that area. I started out using my iPhone, but I just obtained an iPad Mini 2 that I really like.
