Anyone still following this thread. Melbourne - SE Suburbs.

Reference KDCypP4Adv's last post on this thread. Yes you have understood me correctly. The post directly above from SoundByte is the key. Holding the power button down for 5 secs displays the battery life (as opposed to charge) using the LED's.

Hopefully I haven't created an unnecessary thread. I did try and check. The App Store is advising me there is an update waiting for the DJI GO app. While the explanation is that this update fixes a bug that prevented sound from being recorded when shooting 1080p 60 fps video with OSMO Mobile...

Good advice from Nigel, above. Out of curiosity how many battery charge cycles have been done with #1.

From what I have been able to determine these batteries are good for approx. 100 recharge cycles. I assume they will still be able to be recharged and used after this however the battery will probably not be working at optimum efficiency leading to reduced flight time. Due to this and other...

I believe there is still some debate around the 3 month full discharge / recharge process. When I discharge the battery I do it with the aircraft so the battery management hardware is in control. Even when the battery says it is fully discharged I believe it still has a small actual charge...

I have mainly used Amazon for my on-line purchases. I have also bought a few things at JB HiFi. It pays not to be in a hurry and wait for the discounts.

Everything I have read about non-OEM batteries is bad, both on this forum and others. Apart from anything else it voids the manufactures warranty. So I made the decision to only go with OEM batteries. Recommend you check out relevant You Tube vids.

Started back in the 70's, initially with friends wire controlled gasoline powered planes. Then onto remote controlled, battery powered gliders and boats. Not much since the mid-80's until the late 00's. Then started again with battery powered 'copters.

So here is what I did. Before flying I checked out a number of You Tube videos, particularly the first time unboxing and first flight videos. I paid particular attention to the flight checklist, there's a good one on this site. When I received my P3S I unboxed it and went through the...

To expand on 'ryantrax' reply, on auto the camera will typically go for a higher ISO setting in poor light. The higher the ISO the more noise (or grain) will become apparent. By controlling the ISO level you force the camera to compensate with shutter speed / aperture. ND filter artificially...

Rather than spend a fortune I thought it best to experiment at first so a purchased a set of Neewer filters for my P3S from Amazon (I think) for about AUD$24. The kit consists of a variable ND filter, CPL and UV filter along with a case (the case is essential so the filters don't get knocked...

The Point Lonsdale (Victora, Australia) 'front beach' taken 100 metres above the local primary school with the well known light house on the point in the background. June 2017. To the left of the light house is the infamous 'Rip', the entrance to Port Phillip Bay and one of the most dangerous...

Only been flying a few months with my P3S. Getting great results. Have used it for scenery, remote recon and large group photos (400+ people). With my photographic knowledge I have recently been experimenting with fixed and variable ND filters and getting excellent results. I never fly with...
