Hi,
All the videos I have seen so far, that include the operator in the footage, show two types of face. The fixed smile; "I can't believe this is real" face, and the "Urrrgh, I am concentrating" C*m face. I love it, I love being a part of this "thing". A bundle of electronics that can give so much pleasure AND pain, all at the same time. Money Vs Fun. Spending of money doesn't always mean fun, unless you have a different idea of money.
I like to think of myself as the "Fixed smile" category. I can't believe it's real. But on the other hand, what did I save up for? and then spend, my hard earned cash on?... a device that is still a bit "ify" after general release? Perhaps this is to be expected nowadays. Think of the XBOX, Playstation or PC games...How many patches do you get after launch, per unit, per game etc? Is this the "norm" now? These flying cameras are a kind of a mix of "play-thing" and "investment", unlike games and games devices.
"Concentration Face".
I have not had any issues yet with my P3A, but I have only flown it for 6mins at 10 metres high. Should I gamble my £899 on another flight? I have not yet attempted the firmware upgrade (I don't need the IOS upgrade as I use Android on Samsung Galaxy S4). Should I attempt to install the newer update that "allows access to future updates"?. The Unit and App apparently work as is, so far. Should I just send it back? I really don't know. I feel uneasy that I will not get the support that, I feel I have paid for, by buying into this product. Should I just "hold on" for now, How long should I wait to be confident in this product?
I guess I just keep watching the Forum for more info for now, without flying......after all I have a years warranty (2 in the UK for electronics). I am still confident that I will be pleased with this Unit once I get more confidence in it.
"Fixed Smile"
