    Establishing a New Home Point

    I realize you can change your home point from flight to flight. What I'm talking about is changing your home point during the SAME flight. I take off, establishing the home point as the place where the quad takes off originally. Now I'm flying all over the place. Now, while still flying, I...

    Establishing a New Home Point

    When you use auto-takeoff and the quad is hovering, after a few seconds, it will establish its home point and the screen will tell you that. Then, you can use RTH to get back to that same spot. I get that. Is there any way to establish a NEW home point during the same flight? In other words...

    "The Specificed URL Cannot be Embedded as Media"

    Postimage. I'm registered and ready to go. Thanks, Jackson! :) This is our vacation home away from home - the Marriott Resort in Newport, CA. We get down there for a couple of weeks each year. This year, I'm taking my Phantom 4, of course. Think there might be a good video or two lurking...

    Thanks. I will check out Postimage. Photobucket has gotten way too greedy. BTW, that second pic is really charming. You live in Montana?

    "The Specificed URL Cannot be Embedded as Media"

    WTF? I upload a pic to Photobucket and then copy the URL for the photo off of Photobucket. I open up a post here and hit the Media button. It asks me to paste the URL into the field. I do it and hit Embed. Then I get this message: "The Specified URL Cannot be Embedded as Media." That's the...

    Here is what I think caused the problem of the jerky video.

    Colored Props

    Well, I ordered a set of 2 red and 2 white, so I can put all four of them on at the same time. I didn't order them from DJI. I figure if they come as a set of 4, they should all be the same. I have a prop balancer. I also ordered a set of prop guards - same deal there: 2 white and 2 red so I...

    Colored Props

    I want to get some colored props for my Phantom 4. Outside of making sure the props I purchase are the same specifications as the props I now have (11g with a diameter and screw pitch of 9.45 x 5 inches), is there anything else I need to attend to or think about in order to avoid a balance...

    Video Editing Software

    I am looking at the Movavi video editor. It's freeware and appears to be relatively basic and easy to use. All I want to do at this point is crop a 2GB video down to size, so I can post it here - it's the original, jerky video. Do you know anything about the Movavi editor?

    Video Editing Software

    From 2015 - hope you are still here and active. I have Audacity which I have been using to convert tape cassettes into audio files I can use in iTunes. Can I trim or crop a video with Audacity?

    Editing Videos

    When I first got my P4, I got it out of the box, set it up and turned it on. I wondered why my remote control screen was dark gray. Wasn't I supposed to be seeing what was out in front of the camera as it sat there on the table in my living room? I spent quite some time on YouTube and Google...

    Let's Talk Gimbals

    There are a million gimbals for sale online. You mean to say I can't buy one of them and replace the one on my present quad? What are all those individually-sold gimbals for - only people who are building a quad from the ground up?

    Let's Talk Gimbals

    Using that logic, one could totally eliminate the gimbal, weld the camera to a horizontal bar that runs between the two landing struts, and advertise it as a "3-axis camera" because it follows whatever movement the quad makes. Quad tilts up - so does the camera. Quad yaws to the right - so...
