Hi Everyone,
I've heard many times that there is a lot of information left out of the Phantom video series and user manual. So in the spirit of helping out new people - I am going to try and make a video series that is rather comprehensive covering basic and advance topics of the Phantom 3. I'd love to have some input on what you think would be good for beginners to see and learn (things that were important for you when learning or things maybe you still don't understand).
My thoughts are to create the content, upload to youtube, create a post with a list of all of the links in the series and then ideally have it put as a sticky for the Phantom 3 forum.

Here are some topics I think would be important to cover:

- Your first flight - Background RF interference (from surrounding devices), Take off (assisted and unassisted), Stick controls + aircraft movement, VPS, Warning about CSC, US flying restrictions/recommendations (I'm in the US - if someone else would like to talk about flight restrictions and recommendations in other countries/areas that's great), basic navigation (via map), landing (plus talk about rapid descent)
- Basics of the Pilot App Photo/Video Features - Photo/video settings panel, ISO, Shutter, HDR, Bracketed exposure, Timer mode, AE lock, EV, Histogram, Grid, Format SD Card, Focus, front arm's LEDs on/off
- Advanced App Settings - Gain, Expo, Enabling different flight modes, Failsafe settings, flight data mode, IOC, IMU calibration and basic values, customizable controller buttons, RC Calibrations, Image transmission channels, Gimbal calibration, Gimbal roll, Adv. gimbal settings, explanation of hardware decode, Video Cache, User center
