Still blown away at this thing

[eatpasta]

I got my P3S a little over a month ago for $280. Because of the price etc I didn't have very high expectations for it (as it was used) but man, this thing.... just blows me away every time I fly it.

Had I bought it and ONLY gotten the shots from yesterday, it would have been worth it. As it stands, I can't seeing not having one of these around for the rest of my life....

To say the least. My wife sees me less and less because I'm up on a mountain somewhere or at the beach

Agree with both the "Nice Shots" and "habit forming" comments.

Yesterday I was trying to figure out a video editing program and I just couldn't stand being inside not flying when I had a beautiful sunny windless day right outside my window. Out I went, flew for about 1/2 hour. I flew just using the map for the first time. Very interesting and fun to do.
eatpasta, keep up the good work or fun in this case.

This is true,

But even so you took these and they are fantastic.

That sunset would make a great canvas picture.

I think he means instead of using the camera/FPV, he was flying via map instead

ala this;

..i've never really even considered doing that.... not sure what I would use it for as a photographer

Ah ok that makes sense.

Completely understand why you wouldn't want to use this feature for photography / videography

But could be a really really good tool if you got slightly lost / disoriented

for sure. It's super handy to have in the lower corner with the path in which you have already been on, making a quick guesswork return much easier.

If anything else, it provides a good reference point

Lol, I didn't even realise it showed the path you have been on.

Damm man, when did all these gadgets get so freekin futuristic lol.....

these things are pretty incredible. I would imagine of a few even get near half of it's potential

Can I ask if I may, why did you stop and then come back when you were on the beach?

Was it just what you did or was it a range thing?

You mean why didn't I push all the way out to the pier?

Anywhere that I have flown around boats, I always have the 'high interference' warning on all the time (radar?). It usually doesnt effect things too much but from where I had taken off, there was no clear RTH landing spot - I would have had to catch it probably as it was just an opening in the trees plus that distance was ~600 meters which for me is about my all time distance record....so I didn't want to push it too much more. I was way up on a hill, not on the sand. Had I been on the sand I may have pushed it a bit more.

I have a few more from yesterday on the 'Toob....

Hey eatpasta, you have found some local places to fly and you are getting more daring, flying out over the water. Good work!

 

[Dazzauk]

Another observation / question if i may, eatpasta comparing your videos to other phantom 3 standard videos yours look like they are in the next league up? I am correct your using p3s? I think lol, but how do you do it bro? Some of the videos ive seen have actually got me questioning weather to spend my money..
