Dji Phantom UAVs
Discussion
It's quite easy to accidentally change the exposure in the app (been there!) - are you sure you're at 0 ev?

Looks great. Any filters on the camera?
This is one i did fairly recently. I'll need to check everything is set to 0 and take it from there. Everything just down't look as good as other vids i've seen,

looking at getting a phantom to record a renovation project we're in the middle of.
looking at pricing, i can pick up a secondhand 2 vision + for about £400 but there are also new P3 standard available for £500 (from china)
is teh P3 that much better than the 2? I guess the buying new and warranty is void if buying from china so it really is a direct comparison and questioning if i really need the extra abilities (if any) of the P3
some advice would be
Getcarter - watched your video and it seems a bit jerky, is that normal? or just a conversion / youtube thing and it looks fine normaly.

Can someone with a Phantom 3 do me a favour?
I'm having stress with DJI doing a repair. If you shut down the motors whilst filming... does the filming continue (I'm 99% sure it does, but can't check as they have my drone).
TIA
Have mine beside me - what exactly do you need sorry? Hit record but then turn off the DJI?!I'm having stress with DJI doing a repair. If you shut down the motors whilst filming... does the filming continue (I'm 99% sure it does, but can't check as they have my drone).

Mine decided to commit suicide yesterday.
Took off, got to about 30m high and 40 m in front of me and it just fell from the sky.

begs the question i guess, would a gopro take the impact better in this situation? assuming you didnt have a gopro fitted.
Looking at the DJI forum there's endless threads where these things are falling out the sky. Mainly caused by taking off without fully charging the battery the same day of flying and then getting low battery voltage problems. The 1.5 firmware update seemed to caused never ending issues. I have downgraded mine to 1.4 version as this to me just seemed more reliable. I kept losing satellite signal on the 1.5 version. They have now released a new 1.6 firmware upgrade but once updated to that you can only go back as far as 1.5!

Mine also fell out of the sky! The flight log says everything went dead. The video stopped recording, motors died and it just fell like a stone. It didn't have a heavy landing as it was soft ground, but it broke the camera mounting (same as phunk). Sent it back to DJI to fix under warranty, but they say I turned motors off mid flight so repair not covered. I didn't... it shows I was ascending when it happened and the video stopped at exactly the same momemt - which proves it was a power failure... which is why I asked the question, and what I will argue.
I think they'll say sod off - but that will piss me off big time.

The only way it *should* possibly be able to fall out the sky is by executing the CSC command (both sticks in bottom corners). Sounds like the common low battery voltage to me..
Agree .. if I'd done CSC, the last three seconds wouldn't have me ascending in the flight log....and the camera wouldn't have stopped recording.

did you also send the battery back to DJI - the one that was in at the time? May be worth getting it analysed....and the camera wouldn't have stopped recording.

t out of me if I am honest. Especially when it just "happens" for absolutely no reason what so ever.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
