My advice would be to turn the vision positioning system off sometimes. I've seen a few vids of crashes because it detected something and caused the phantom to ascend unexpectedly resulting in the props hitting something. If your flying near something on a slope though it can help you follow...

Dang. I was really hoping there would be a website or app. I guess I'll just have to hope they don't fly into me. It's the first time they've flown directly over though. I'm pretty sure it was 300 feet. I worked around helicopters for years and take my phantom up between 200-400 feet in...

This is an ongoing problem for me as well though not as severe. I usually start my flights by turning on gridlines and with a level in front of the camera I correct the gimbal tilt in the app. It only lasts for that flight but it's become part of my setup routine.

Big surprise. Senator Dan Claitor tried to get "drones" banned from taking pictures on private property, now Denham Springs which is in his district is going the local ordinance route.

You should look up the Black Friday deals. Bestbuy is also having flash sales every few hours and I've seen the brand new macbook pros for $200 off during them.

So I was just outside about to take my Phantom up for some shots of my neighborhood at sunset when a helicopter comes flying over at about 300 feet. Is there anyway to look up when this might happen again? I can find plenty of plane trackers but nothing for helicopters.

Mine has been so bad lately I'm thinking of returning the P3 (among other reasons). I can hardly fly it FPV style because it freezes or only half the screen is updating. The worst setting appears to be 1080p 30fps. The videos come out fine once I download them off the microSD but I cant tell...

Like the title says I'm considering returning the P3. -The main problem I'm having is the controls: They just don't feel right. I'd like the right stick to control the camera and the left stick movement. The altitude could be set to the back buttons "C1-Descend" and "C2-Ascend". Now before you...
