Great idea! Interested in hearing how this turns out.
I have tentatively set the experiment date for 9-7-13 (Saturday am).
It will probably take a day to do the video so I will post that 9-8-13.
Given what seams to be a high interest, we might need an "experiment" section for this forum. :)...
Good point sir. ;)
I will try to figure out how to firm up the line(s) holding the balloons. Maybe some starch or something. I haven't drafted any drawings yet but I am thinking one line taped to the center of the Phantom then a bunch of balloons. Wal-Mart sells a cheap helium balloon...
I haven't done any upgrades to firmware yet because I have a Mac and haven't taken the time to figure out how to install the software. I simply opened the box and started flying.
Thanks for the tip. I am definitely a "noob".
Experiment #4 is in the works.
Basically I will be taping helium balloons to the copter to reduce the load by half.
The goal is to see how battery life is affected and to see how flight performance is affected.
I am working under the assumption...
After some additional web development this is going to be an awesome tool!
If I were you I would reach out to the Google developers because this idea falls right inline with their entire business model. $$$

It was my own fault because I only used 2 pieces of tape to keep the "weight" down, but that doesn't even make any sense since the tape weighs practically nothing.
These Phantoms are pretty cool.
Experiment #4 is already in the works!
:D

For this experiment I taped an iPhone 5 to my Phantom and used the "Map my ride" app to track the route, speed and altitude.
Overall I was pleased with the results.
This is my 3rd time flying this, at the end of the video you will see that I am...
