    Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control loss?

    Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Just follow the advice of the many experienced fliers on this and other forums. Go through your checklist. Pay attention to your LEDs. Some preventative maintenance doesn't hurt (listen to your bearings, check connections, check the...

    Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control loss?

    Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Had my Phantom for just under a year. Zero issues. Not one, of any kind. Probably a couple hundred flights.

    VTX and Velcro question.

    I'm going to make a mount out of a few small pieces of 1/8" plexi, that will be 2-faced to the bottom of the phantom. Velcro, and a cable tie for added security. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    VTX and Velcro question.

    I looked at those. I don't think that would fit in my case. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    VTX and Velcro question.

    I have a Phantom V1.3. I have just purchased some fpv equipment from readymaderc.com. I have ordered a set of Fatshark Attitude SD V2 goggles as well as some 1.3g equipment. I got the Fatshark system for the ease of use, quick and portable. The 1.3g equipment will be primarily used with a ground...

    Did I just make a mistake?

    Well it appears as though I did make a mistake. Got the gimbal, it doesn't work. I get the green light on the sensor, a red light on the board, and that's all. It just hangs there. Not real happy with this. They are not being real quick with a response either. This sucks. Got a trip to Florida...

    Phantom Charger Question.

    OK. I got a 4s lipo, and I have I hooked up to the phantom charger. It has been on the red-green flashing mode for almost 2 hours. Do I have a bad Lipo? Is this normal for the first charge on a lipo? It is a 4s, 3000 mah lipo. Occasionally one of the small light will turn off, then turn back on...

    Did I just make a mistake?

    Yeah that's crazy. Everything I've seen on the non-gimbal discos has a rubber band holding the gopro on. Not doing that. So, going off all of your recommendations, I ordered a couple Velcro gopro straps off eBay today. One for the Phantom gimbal, one for the disco. Sent from my SCH-I605 using...

    Did I just make a mistake?

    Not to terribly worried about weight. Probably not as much as I should be. Im flying with the vision props and stock 2200 lipos with just the gopro in the stock mount and getting 12 minutes now. Something about the ones that have the Velcro strap that holds the gopro in. I just don't like them...

    Did I just make a mistake?

    It looks like there is space on that side and slots for wires. I'm probably worried for no reason. Was sitting here making the shopping list for my FPV from readymaderc. Saw the gopro to vtx wire and panicked. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    Did I just make a mistake?

    Im in panic mode now, looking at the pic it looks like there may be some space in the side. I'll guess I'll know in a couple weeks. Haha. I've got a disco I plan on putting the majority of my fpv investment in. Just wondered if I was in trouble here Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    Did I just make a mistake?

    I just ordered a good luck buy gimbal. I was planning on getting an fpv setup for my phantom next. Not so much for aggressive flying, but for framing shots with a monitor. The gimbal I ordered is the one where the gopro fits into a kind of cage with the tilt motor being on the right when looking...
