Sorry it's not 3 axis gimbal but 3 axis stabilization :mrgreen: ...it would be difficult to move the camera as it is inserted in a foam structure... By the way just flown for the first time my FC40...too windy, and night flights so the videos are almost pitch black...one of this days i'll post...

It seems this one (beebop) uses brushless motors, i can't figure how they plan to move the cam...they talk about 3 axis gimbal :? As for the size i think its the future, "the kids" tend to grow up the inverse will happen with this kind of tech "toys", as happens with all technology. I cant...

Nice! That's just what i need!

I also have a nexus 7 and i have no problem linking it with FC40 cam, the only thing is it doesnt fit the "thing" that should grab the phone because 7" is too big for it.

Sorry double posting... :oops: the video is very instructional and interesting, it seems a cheap mod (not in the bad side) and for sure looks to be the next step in upgrading the range, how about the lag, will we get less or more lag?

Thanks for your reply! You are absolutely right, i'm not thinking in upgrading now or in a near future... I am curious about the lag with the 1.2/1.3ghz, so i just asked to see if anyone with a 5.8ghz followed that path or is thinking about adopting such a system in the future.

Hello I'm wondering if anyone here is using, or planning to use in the future an fpv system upgrade? Since the FC40 uses 5.8ghz, and the most common fpv systems works also in 5.8ghz, i'm thinking about a 1.2ghz system. As i am a novice quadcopter user i'm asking for advice, what kind of...

Yes, like TORtur3 said the charger should be able to charge other 3s battery using xt60 plugs. But i would recommend for you to buy a lipo balancer, you can find one from 25 dollars on ebay. I just bought one imax b6 on ebay (im sure there are other brands and models, its just an example) and...

Congratulations! That's a cool "bird", i have one also, just waiting for a new lipo balancer b6 and some prop guards...i can wait as i practice in my "brave" v959! Have nice flights! Regards from Matosinhos, Portugal

Hi Woody, thanks for the encouragement! I was planning to fly it for the first time in this easter, i know i can be irritatingly over cautious and i must understand everything (or almost everything) before i can use it. After i read the manual i was perhaps more confused, and i have to have...

Thanks npalen and TORtur3 Im such a noob! I shoud have (re)oppened pandora's box, sorry Phantom box, im trying not to open it because i feel the urge to fly (it would be more like a crash) my beloved Phantom... If i had checked it again i would see it doesnt have that option because its...

Hi I think it deppends where you live, for instance if you live in the U.S.A. you choose the FCC setting, if you live in Europe you choose the CE setting. There are laws, I live in Portugal but I never heard about any laws about rc flying devices here in my country (maybe this is because im new...

Hi! Are you using P2 prop guards? Is it a perfect fit to FC40? I bought 9 inch proppelers and i would like to know if P2 prop guards will fit FC40, because i read somewere that they dont fit Fc40 and im confused. Sorry maybe im asking too much but could you send me a link for the prop guards...

Greetings from Matosinhos, Portugal Just bougth a Phantom FC40, and i have a doubt... Do you guy charge the batt in cv or cc mode? And by the way what does cc and cv mean? Im totally new to this, this "desease" started in the christmas season when i bought an rc helicopter for my son, and...
