I brought the new DJI Phantom 3 on a plane today in my Thinktank backpack (with padded dividers I customized myself). Although the landing skids are a bit longer on the P3 than they are on the P2, it still fits well.

Gunnar bor Brynjarsson is our hero! Without him, we would have lost our prototype Phantom 3 in a freak snow storm in Iceland. Ferdinand, you owe him big time. 😉 During a car-chase flight on the way back from the volcano, a snow storm blew in, and winds were blowing hard, probably between 40-50 knots. ...

It was live-broadcast to the world on both YouTube and YouKu (with simultaneous translation to Mandarin), and we’ve put the recorded broadcast up online in 5 parts. The first is embedded here, and the others can be found here: ...

People keep asking about the DJI Phantom 3 and whether or not it supports Phantom 2 batteries. They are NOT compatible. The new Phantom 3 has a lot more power, and its batteries are 4480 mAh, 15.2 V, which are higher voltage than P2 batteries. Although they look similar, they will not fit. Also, the ...

How to mount a Ricoh Theta m15 spherical camera to a DJI Inspire 1. The Ricoh Theta m15 is a $300 360º spherical stills and video camera. It is designed to be fun to use (it reminds me of the memory eraser in Men in Black), and has only 3 buttons: take a picture, turn on/off, and ...

The resolution in video is pretty terrible, but it is good enough to give us an idea ...
