If you are using a Mac, download "Handbrake" and you can adjust the frame rate down to 24 fps to make the video clip a bit longer. You will be able to resize the file down to 1080 or 720 to make the overall file size smaller. And finally, you will be able to save it to different formats that...

I can't tell if it is the same gimbal, but I have one that looks very similar. Mine has a "reset" button on the control board that I can press and it stops leveling the gimbal for a few seconds and I can then reposition the camera to a level orientation. After a few seconds the gimbal starts...

The GoPro 1080 Medium is about 16mm on a full frame sensor. Not sure about the Wide setting, but I know it is wider than 14mm 2-Balls

Here is a comparison in FOV between the GoPro Hero 3 Black at 1080 wide/narrow and a full frame DSLR w/ 50mm lens. The lamp is 14 feet 7 inches away from both cameras. 2-Balls

Boscam TS351 200 mW 5.8 GHz TX - 3 leaf Cloverleaf whip antenna (Pointing straight down) Boscam RC805 RX - 4 leaf Cloverleaf whip antenna (Pointing straight up): I had the RX on a 2m high stand and it feeds into a Polaroid DVD player that has a composite input. Phantom V1.0 with stock...

Onder: 1) Yes you can use the aux cable to power the gimbal 2) Yes you can also use the same cable to power the TS321 3) Not sure, I have the RC805, but I use a 450MaH 2s LiPo (It was 1/3 the price) I get about a hours worth of use out of it. Hope this helps. 2-Balls

d4, A couple of quick questions for you. 1) What distance are you trying to judge (how far away from a subject in front of you, or to the side as you are flying by [lateral])? 2) What exactly do you mean by "framing AV"? I would suggest practicing in the mode you will be using in the...

I'm also curious about the wattages listed for the TS351. I have only used channel 8 with stock antennas and an RC805. Sitting on my front porch and flying down the street (50m high) I have been able to get out to around 350m, and in open fields I have been able to fly out over 600m (75m high)...

The RTH sounds like it was functioning as advertised. It will fly up to 30m (~60ft) then return to its GPS "home point", descend and wait a few seconds, then land itself. The MOST important point is for you to have waited for the Phantom to record the "home point" (6 rapid green flashes) while...

tgrizzle73, I use Parallels on my Mac, running Windows XP, so that is an option if you have a Windows emulator. I've never flown with the prop guards but would guess they will help prolong the life of your props if you bump into something such as trees or bushes, or the ground if the...

Congratulations on your purchase! I am by no means an "expert" because I've had my Phantom for about 2 weeks now, but I can give you the beginner's perspective. My first recommendation is to learn how to comfortably fly your Phantom without the GoPro on it. You don't want to possibly break...

Thanks for the input guys. I have replaced the clip, but am now plagued with a loud "buzzing" noise, almost like the plastic body is loose and vibrating. I made sure all screws were tight before flying and I haven't started troubleshooting yet. Safe flying! 2-Balls

Try #2! I'm the proud owner of a "gently" used Phantom via eBay. On my first flight one of the propellers fell off due to a loose nut and subsequently crashed inverted onto my garage. After I brought the Phantom back into the house I noticed a sliver of metal sticking out from one of the...
