I took the drone up, but it is very windy today, so I didn't go very high. Not high enough to get better pictures. I wanted to go up high enough to get pictures of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghany Mountains, but maybe next time I can do that. You can see a little of the Alleghany in these.
I also went and tried to terrorize our turkeys, but Big Tom just wanted to impress me.
The other turkeys and chickens ran away. LOL.
You can see I had the propeller guards on today and I'm glad I did. The wind blew the drone into a tree trunk and it just bumped off.

I think I need to read up on the rules
I didn't take the drone out much last year because it seemed like it was always raining. And then after the rain would come the wind. I'm not adventurous enough to even try race drones, but I'm sure that's fun?
You could try looking here, even though with just a quick look, I don't see any 3's, but a couple 4's. https://phantompilots.com/forums/classifieds.9/ I see Amazon has them for $489.

Picks look good, sound like fun! Tickling my fancy, I was near to buying a Phantom 2 a while back but heard a fair amount of talk about "flyaways" and after suffering through one with a fairly expensive race drone I put it on the backburner. Don't have the scratch for a Phantom 4 but a 3 standard might make me happy. Pics look good. I'm just far enough from local airports that I should not have any issues with real aircraft. My interest is on the uptick again!!!
I'm scared of the "flyaways" also. One reason I have never taken it out of sight or hit the button for it to come home by itself. I have calibrated it to return here, but haven't really had a reason to go further than I can see yet. I need to practice more and maybe I'll get the confidence to let the drone do everything it can do.

I will. I might just go make sure everything is charged and go out in the afternoon today.

Instead of video change it to photos, I used HDR for mine
Thanks! I will definitely give it a try soon!

I have been doing some training flight as I call them, to familiarize myself with this drone. I previous had a Mavic Pro but sold it. now I have this phantom 3 and it is so similar in flight. Here are a couple photos.
My husband has the Phantom 3 drone, but I'm the one who flies it. I think I'll call it mine.
I've taken videos of our property, but haven't taken any pictures with it yet. You have inspired me to get out and take some, since yours look so great.

Most people disagree because half of them have idea what they are talking about! LOL
They just pass on their internet misinformation.

Seems like that happens on every social site/forum I've ever visited. People will be people. It can be entertaining or very maddening. But I really do appreciate this site! I have learned so much in just a couple months, and I love seeing all the beautiful photos.
Again, thanks for replying to my question.

Lenses do not have USA specific SNs
The D5300 is one of the grey market cameras that Nikon allows their "authorized service center" to repair.

Thanks so much for the info! I hope I never need a repair but that makes me feel a little better. There was so much I didn't know before buying a camera, I should have just read these boards for months before buying. I find UHH very interesting and informative, even when people are disagreeing.

If the first two numbers in the SN are from 25 to 39 then its a USA model. Anything else will be grey market.
Thanks. That figures, mine is a grey market. I should have known when it came with a Spanish only manual.
I am a beginner, so knew nothing about the best places to buy cameras. Do the lens follow that same rule? My D5300 SN starts with 49, but the lens starts with 30.Are there places that will repair the grey market cameras if something should break?

So how can a buyer tell by the serial number if it's USA? I'm interested because I bought a Nikon from Amazon before I knew anything about grey market cameras. Is there a list of the numbers or a website where you can find this out?

Today I ordered something very inexpensive from Amazon. When I got my confirmation email from them it appears that either I or they also enrolled me in Prime at $12.99/mo. I do not buy enough from them to warrant $12.99/mo and probably never will. This is a free first month trial but I want to get out of this ASAP. How do I do that? Thanks.

Something like that happened about 25 years ago in Maine....except the truck was carrying live lobsters! My husband's family took home a few buckets of lobsters and had a feast.
