Hello all. Been a while since I've posted because I lost my Phantom 2 (my fault) and when I saw the P3P for $1159 with a free battery on cyber Monday, I couldn't resist jumping back in. I waited as long as I could for 3DR to get their act together but it hasn't happened to my satisfaction.
Got the newer "A" version (good I guess?) and have been having fun getting everything set up. The technology has sure come a long way in such a short time and I'm very impressed with the new functionality the Go app gives the P3P, which will take some time getting used to for sure.
My main issue at the moment is mounting my tablet to the holder. My tablet's USB slot is centered on the bottom when in landscape orientation. It appeared as though the slot at the bottom of the holder was there to accommodate the supplied USB cable, but its not wide enough to fit through the opening and connect. WTH? Surely there's something I'm missing. Why bother with the slot if it's not big enough. Hopefully this is just a Doh! moment on my part and not DJI's.
Another niggle is I'm unable to engage IOC mode, even though I've turned off beginner mode and turned on multi-angle (or whatever it's called). When switching to "F" mode the app gives me the message that IOC activation requires that I launch first. OK. A bit strange but I'll give it a go when ready to take my maiden flight. Could this have something to do with the pre-installed 1.4.10 firmware? Holding off upgrading for a while until a consensus of opinion sways in favor of 1.5.xx (or should I just do it?).
My main objective will be to take awesome video (my day job is producing non-aerial video) so I'm looking for any Go app/gimbal tweaks that will result in the smoothest video possible (if it's ever legal to go commercial without sacrificing my first-born, then I'll be ahead of the game).
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
