What is the emergency stop when flying in these modes? In third party apps its a quick flick on the mode switch to F to P is that the same with these modes in DJI GO?
The POI feature was amazing. I still don't get how it worked exactly. I went near a tree. It said I need to be at least 5m before I could circle and it said my distance was 1m. Moved to the open field and it said 38m and it let me circle a spot in the field. Is it detecting objects? Was I just not high enough?
I love how silky smooth the video is when circling!
It's the little silver toggle on the back left side of your remote
You're probably already in F mode…
To operate poi fly directly above the point you want to circle. You mark the spot on your tablet. Then you pull away from that spot to adjust how far away from that point you will circle. Then adjust altitude making sure you are above the tallest object. It then has you select return to home altitude. Its pretty self explanatory once you do it.

Duh! That's so obvious. I think I got mixed up when I read DJIs confusing little on screen guides. Thanks

5m is the minimum radius for circle AFAIK
so with 6m you should good to go. I did not tried yet since it's still raining

Yeah I didn't want to go closer. I just went to the edge of a tree and couldn't figure it out.
. Now I realize I just needed to fly directly over the tree, set the point and move back 
It was in the firmware PDF http://download.dji-innovations.com...antom_3_Professional_Release_Note_en_0907.pdf
Aircraft should show 1.4.10, but I'm not sure about the RC, if it needs updating too or not. I haven't found anything yet on it so I don't think it does. See pic
RC did NOT need upgrading. Just finished and tested the firmware update and the 'GO' update. Both smooth and successful, no glitches. Heading out now for some fun.
It is mentioned in the release notes :
Notice：
Users may skip updating the remote controller, as the latest firmware update does not affect the
remote controller
It is normal for the motor to sound or the LED to blink during the update process, as the latest
firmware update will affect the motor.

Successfully updated both the aircraft and the camera. My nexus 7 was turned on when charging and automatically updated the installed app without my assistance, so no apparent need to uninstall then reinstall as advised elsewhere.
I calibrated the compass and checked the IMU status but no calibration was required.
I had one ten minute flight and she performed beautifully, with no evident deterioration in either positioning or control. As usual, the FW upgrade went faultlessly, taking about 12 or 13 minutes in total.
Tomorrow I shall explore the new features, but for now I'm good to go and a happy bunny.

I always fly as if I were on board. Not virtually on board, really on board. I have no problem double checking every last thing I can double check. They can tell me I've wasted all that energy when I'm old and grey and still have my P3P. If my bird ever goes down I'll know there was nothing I could have done.
