Thank you for all of the advice, I'll leave the firmware as is, order the motor supports, and fly till it drops out of the sky and I have an excuse to buy a new one:)

Another Phantom out of hibernation lol.. Her's my particulars.. DJI Go version - 3.1.43 Firmware 1.4.10+ Remote Controller 1.5.70 Basic Flysafe Database 1.00.01.07 Craft flies ok, should I update any of the above? Is there any harm in updating DJI Go? The Props look good, how do you know...

Did you do any color grading or other adjustments in post? Looks like this what came straight off the camera. Most of the best footage, especially in low light, was improved in post.

How can you tell what version of firmware is on a battery?

I replied in a PM

Lol, that flight was just up the road from me. I fly in the Leesburg area all the time:) just got my antenna boosters, have just been waiting for a good day to try them out.. 10k or bust!

I have a new P3A on which I am seeing battery voltage deviations. Below is the graph fromhealthydrones.com. Are these deviations something I should be worried about with a new battery? The vast majority of the deviations are on cell 1. I'd hate for my new drone to fall out of the sky!

I'm using a hoodivision with the k1. It's light and foldable, but it took some effort to get used to it and like it. I had to poke a hole in it for the usb and it was a real learning experience to figure how to best attach it so that it worked to my liking. Once there though, I love it.
