Iam in Eaton and have been flying phantom 2 since beginning of year. Always looking for new interesting things to film. If you have any suggested sites in the area or you want to plan a multi-rotor get together let me know.

Ok, thanks for the link, he makes a good argument for CF props... Then again I didn't think about the safety aspect. I guess I will stick with white plastic until Iam 100% confident on my flying abilities. Maybe I'll just get a set to look good in the case and switch me out before takeoff ;)

Yeah, those props look good to me. When I said knock off I didn't mean that DJI had to make them I just didn't want to buy something that was cheaply stamped out by a fly-by-night company. If you are satisfied with the performance of these props I would be willing to give them a try. (To be...

I guess I'am not following your logic. Why would you take the GP out of the zenmuse to charge it? I charge it by plugging in a mini USB before each use. But what if I forgot, and the GP battery was nearly dead. Then it is draining the Phantom battery the entire time it is powered up and...

I think I will paint my iPhone green and call it a myPhone !! My problem with the article is that nearly all the "innovation" they quoted is either built into the original phantom or has been widely available for a long time (ie GPS, Return to Home, GoPro compatible, Carbon Fiber Blades...

Is there a source for carbon fiber props for the Phantom 2 with the built in prop nuts (like the factory blades). Anyone have a brand they can recommend ? I have read some bad reviews of some of the knockoff blades coming out of China. (poor balance, less lift etc).

Hey, maybe this has already been covered on another thread, but as I understand it the Phantom battery is being used to charge the GoPro when it is connected through the Zenmuse. I see the red light is illuminated when the camera is off and the Phantom is powered on so I guess its true. There...

I like your go pro foam idea ! I have a slew of issues with the go pro but you just made it one less, thanks.

Yes I ordered my Black Pearl from Range Video a few weeks ago. They were good to work with and I received it in about 4 days standard delivery. I don't know about you but I found that most suppliers do not have the BP in stock And if they do it' doesn't include the battery. Range Video had it...

Great stuff in there. Never thought about flying backwards to eliminate "prop-top" ;)
