I'm in! I ordered one Tuesday. Should ship in 2wks. 44mph, 25+min! (we'll see). Video capture at 40+mph may be difficult given the angle of attack at 40+mph. The blades will likely be in the frame unless you point with no horizon in the frame. But that's not why I want 44mph. A fast...

Camera improvements are minimal. It has a better lens and it supports 120fps @1080p, that's about it. Same sensor.

Good point, I don't disagree with this class of drone is a video/photo platform first, but I take that for granted. Phantom3, Inspire1-3X, GoPro amd Yuneec CGO3 all use similar sensors with similar results, the worst being GoPro IMO (fisheye, no controls), the best being InspireX3, then P3...

This video is pretty accurate. I find it sad he was influenced by Colin Guinn's hyped marketing at 3DR to buy Solo over P3P. Phantom 3P was released in April 2015, months BEFORE the Solo, and then more months before the gimbal was available, and then it didn't have GoPro camera control...

Can you see it now?

It would make more sense to me if they simply turn on all of the LEDs during discharge. Then we'll know. All LEDs should be on when discharging, 3 on when it's half done, and 2 on when it's close to done. Seems pretty simple to me. It's also been tested and confirmed, the if you push the...

I had conversations with DJI employees at CES about this "drop-gate" battery issue last month. I had two separate conversations, one at each of their two booths. I got the same story from both guys who were deemed the most knowledgeable about Phantom firmware in each booth. They said the...

It's nice that something might be happening with new laws for commercial use of drones, however this bill you referenced is only good for drones 2kg and less, which excludes the Inspire X5R at 3.5kg. It would seem more logical to have a 5kg limit so all of the viable commercial drones could be...

Ok, so if the client asks if you have a pilot license you walk away, but if they don't specifically ask, you go ahead and bid the job. Do you require prepayment? I see a scenario where a customer gets some great video shots from me, then refuse payment. Even though I have the 333, I have no...

I love the Inspire too, although I don't have one yet, coming soon. However, the Phantom is very impressive, beyond any other drone in this price category, not to mention the portability. For fun I will likely always reach for my Phantom because it's easy to carry around in a backpack. I'd...

Very interesting. I didn't realize the AMA thinks their members are exempt from the 5mi airport rule and 400ft AGL rule, based on the previous 336 legislation from 2012. I heard Marke "HOOT" Gibson from the FAA speak recently at an AMA Expo show in California, these beliefs were never...

I've often wondered how you guys do all your commercial work when you don't have a recreational or sport pilot license to go with the 333 exemption. Or do you? Erick says he use to be a pilot, Joe wants to be a pilot, however they both do commercial aerial videography work and openly talk...

Peter: Stills are the same between P3P and Inspire 1 X3, so is the video. That's interesting. I didn't know the P3P and the X3 camera were identical, but it makes sense I guess. The P3P doesn't get much credit for what it provides from a lot of people, saying it looks like a toy, etc. That...

The NFL should consider putting a crew and plan together to thwart a potential drone invasion. Here's a product they could use, a drone detector, which detects incoming drones from a mile away, as well as the location of the RC. The FAA should also consider putting a plan together, assuming...

For the ARTF field for racers, the Vortex, Blade Mach 25, and the Vengence from Japan all seem to have 2300KV motors. The Vengence is only $300 w/o battery, receiver and RC, the others are over $100 more for the same ARTF package. It would be great if an upcoming podcast article included this...

Why is there a 420 character limit on PM's? I suggest this be adjusted to 1000. Just a suggestion.

Joe and Erick are always hung-up on "P3P looks like a toy". I cracked up when you told Erick the Phantom camera is easier to use than the Inspire camera in some cases. I can imagine what Erick was thinking, or Joe when he heard that. They are not a fan of Phantom3P so it's a breath of fresh...

I'm so pleased you are on the team with Erick and Joe. You have a much better "non biased" knowledge of the Phantom 3P since you use a P3P all the time. Although Joe and Erick are great guys, they don't seem to appreciate how good the Phantom is, and how much more versatile it can be in many...

Great stuff,making videos from long exposure stills, AWESOME! I'm going to try doing that myself, looks like good fun. The Inspire is my next bird after the FAA resolves the commercial work dilemma and announce the 107 plan. Once I can legally do commercial work, I'm buying the InspirePro with...

Hi Peter, Last podcast you said there was a bug in the Go App that made RTH land in place. The bug isn't in the Go App. The incompatibility with AutoPilot is with the current Phantom SDK. The Go App has no bug, RTH works fine. I'm sure you know this and you just mis-spoke. I thought you'd...
