    Thoughts, Opinions on upgrading to a decent DSLR platform

    Trying to decide to up my game. Doing mostly local event and real estate work. Using pretty common DJI P2 platform now with Hero3 Black, H3-3D gimbal, Immersion VTX, Fatshark Attitude and sometimes Black Pearl 7" LCD. Have both DJI TX and Futaba T8J. Would like a more professional camera and...

    P2 auto landing with 40% battery?

    I experienced a similar problem and it was EXTREMELY disturbing. I couldn't trust it anymore. I went through all kinds of things trying to do what people suggested. I even purchased a Futaba TX - which does work. What I finally found was the DJI TX firmware was out of synch with the P2...

    Which way to go - GoPro w/hh stabilizer or just get a camcorder

    Not a bad idea, except you cannot frame the shots this way. Inside a home, that is critical. Sure would save some dough, though!

    Droidworx Skyjib X4 Ti QR with Retractable Landing Gear ARF (just add batts and tx)

    As good as you fly and film, you should keep it. Wish I had your talent. Great stuff. JG (rookie with a P2)

    Which way to go - GoPro w/hh stabilizer or just get a camcorder

    I'm getting requests from realtors to do complete jobs - inside as well as out. Already have a P2 with Zenmuse H3-3D and GoPro Black for aerial work. Wondering what would be the better approach to the inside work: Get a handheld stabilizing gimbal and use my GoPro (would likely need to buy a...

    Very Short Flight times - P2 and good batteries

    DJI support is slow. My dealer has been responsive but he has limitations. I damaged a gimbal in a crash - my fault - it has been out for repair for over 8 weeks and I have no idea when I will see it again. I had to buy another so I could keep flying.

    Very Short Flight times - P2 and good batteries

    Mine seemed to be a firmware problem. The TX firmware was apparently out of synch with the P2 software. DJI isn't clear enough about updating firmware nor does their software warn you of a potential problem nor does it show you how to fix it.

    Very Short Flight times - P2 and good batteries

    I have begun to experience very short flight times when hover suddenly cannot be sustained. Started happening just about 4 flights ago and is getting worse. I always fly on fully charged batteries and these batteries and my P2 are fairly new - maybe 25 total flights on both batteries. I...

    AP Businesses: Three Social Media Platforms You Can’t Afford To Ignore

    Just getting mine going here in NC. Really like your work. Though I don't have AP business experience behind me yet, I tend to agree with your thoughts. Great website! Continued success.

    GoPro 3+ What video settings work best for you?

    Which settings seem to work best when you are taking photos while also doing video? I sense that I need to do this so that I can capture stills and video simultaneously. Without the camera in video mode, I cannot get output to the VTX. Or - do I just need to learn something I haven't yet...

    No tilt on my Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal on my P2

    Just installed a new Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal on my Phantom 2. All seems to work except it will not tilt down or up. No reaction when moving the lever on the back of the DJI transmitter. This is a replacement gimbal for one damaged in a crash. The other one was identical and the tilt worked fine...

    Looking for install video - P2, FPV Hub, Zenmuse 3D, video tx, iOSD Mini

    Turned out to be quite simple. Only had to solder 4 connections on the video transmitter cable. Rest of it was plug and play. Works nicely.
