The 3d printer (in my opinion) is really a prototyper, not really for manufacturing and making finished products with extreme durability like injection molded pieces. But, once a prototype is found to be worthy of the cost of full scale production, a nice injection molded piece can be made...

I had a glitch the other day with a hard landing. The prop guard took most of the punishment and I would up with a slightly bent gimbal. I was able to fly again and the gimbal was the only issue. It would be nice to have replacement parts for the gimbal instead of having to buy the whole...

Re: $5,000 Fine and 6 Months In Jail - National Park Violati I've been flying a while and I have been hassled a couple of times by law enforcement! I do think it would be a good idea to have a permit or a license or both. Get the license; shows who you are and a way to hold you accountable...

Some people associate prop guards with training wheels..... I rather liken them to anti lock brakes on a motorcycle.....lets hope you never have to use them, but if you do, they are there for you! As for selling, no..... The design download is free for the taking, so if you have a 3d printer...

Oh, you might want to get a P2V+, it's awesome having everything integrated and with the 3d gimbal, it makes me look like I know what I'm doing. I have a P2 GoPro too, very disappointing......less flight time, no control over pic or video from the ground....

I just got two more......they've really come down in price too! It's a bummer to not have enough juice......I'm gonna film a subject I've been wait to do for a while on Sat and I didn't want to worry about whether I'd have enough battery or not!

Thanks Witold! I was reluctant to get a case because I always have prop guards on and then I took them off to put in a plastic crate for traveling and I didn't like the bulk and disorganized crate and knew I needed a special case, but then I would still have the prop guard dilemma. I saw...

I've been flying Phantoms for a while now with minimal issues. I am a strong believer in prop guards and I havent lost any yet upon touch downs in slight wind enough to tip the craft. I found that taking off from the groud is OK, but landing is better done by capture that actually setting it...

You can find this design at Thingiverse for free....... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:456722

Simple, easy and cheap!

Quick install and remove in less that 30 seconds with no wear issues, ie friction rubbing from sliding on and off!

I've flown over the Midway several times, always being careful not to get too close and respect the environment. The sea lions were cool and the local Lifeguads didn't give me any flack what so ever. I even spoke with them about the dive conditions (was tempted to do some Scuba on that visit...

Great Shots Dirty Bird! http://youtu.be/OrMCptluc6E I had a little fun down in San Diego in March. This is the second trip down here and my second time flying the Midway. This time I had my P2H3 also. The Video was smoother than this one I took with the P2V, but the flight time was...

Exactly!

Oh, by the way, I did get a P2 H3 and it does have some good video with the GoPro, but not being able to fully control the camera from the ground and the loss of flight time due to aftermarket devices taking battery power, left me very disappointed! Thank goodness Dji got it right. I just wish...
