    STICKY: NEW SPREADSHEET FOR PHANTOM OWNERS

    Mod to turn off the Red Lights?

    Sometimes simplest is best. Take some painter's tape and cover them up for your nightly photo shoots. Either that or you take it all apart and disconnect the wire to the red LEDs.

    What is this surface called?

    You have no idea how bizarre it is in this day and age to not instantly access information when you want it. I tried all sorts of search parameters to discover what it was called without luck. I lose the day. Thanks!

    What is this surface called?

    The plastic/vinyl surface that is pictured as such? I would like a nice work station area to operate on various electronic gizmos and for the life of me, I cannot find out what these are referred to as. Where does one acquire said surfaces?
