Aloha, Cetaman.
Thank you for all this good information!
Yes, I already had a Hero3 when I bought this P2, right before someone flew one into the whitehouse lawn, prompting new restrictions. I live inside the Washington beltway and teach in an art program at a public college, so I did not want to risk flying my phantom, for a year. : ( I do not need to lose my job by flying a drone.)
Now that the restrictions are clear, and I am on summer break, I've registered and found locations farther away from the city to fly within FAA regulations, and am eager to do so this summer.
I have flown the P2 without the camera (that was FUN!) but within line of sight and at low altitude (below 25 feet). I found flying to be quite intuitive, but of course I am flying in daylight (per the Washington area restrictions)and not flying far or high. So yes, I can easily see how the craft is oriented.
Now I'd like to try recording video. I would be happy simply to start the video recording before take off, and then see what I get. No wifi.
'shots angled from straight down to 10 degrees down from horizontal' will be just perfect, for my initial art projects. I think of it as an alternative to a jib or crane, for cinematography.
SO my big naive question is: what controls the zenmuse? I gather it does not work on gravity alone. You talk about controlling camera tilt, as distinct from the aircraft pitch. How do I control camera tilt with the zenmuse?
I guess you might be laughing at this question : )
I will be super grateful for guidance or links to resources.
(Thank you for the heads up on props and prop guards, too)
