Definitely record every flight...if you can remember? I've had 3 beautiful flights only to find I had forgotten to start the video camera! I added a label to my controller that says "Start Video Stupid!" and I still missed it on a flight! I'd love to have a software option that would...

Interested!

I bought a nice folding Aluminum framed camping table with a melamine top (Wood Flour & Resin) from "****'s Sporting Goods" and I use it all the time for taking off and landing with no compass problems. Because it's for outdoor camping it has little or no ferrous metal in it. I wouldn't use it...

Absolutely!!! Make sure it's on a flat surface (Check surface with a level in all directions) and if you can, do it when it's the coolest temperature. Have your control all fired up before you turn on the phantom so that as soon as you power up the phantom you can go right into the IMU...

Yes but it's also a dust cap for the lens. I bought mine on ebay from ""Droning on" I got a red one. It's also very easy not to forget to take it off because it's on the front of the phantom. I prefer this silicon rubber one to the hard plastic ones you see.

Get one of these!! The one that comes with the phantom is a piece of crap!

Just wondering what everyone else has been doing? Before flying on or around private property I stop ahead of time and ask for permission. I've found everyone very accommodating so far. I usually take a few stills of their property and after flying I get them developed and give them to the...

I just received mine from Taco RC today. Your right, not a mark on them anywhere? That's crazy for what I paid for them!! I also turned them over looking for a mark and the "O" rings on the inside fall right out. They came in a nice pouch and with a fancy white gimble lock/lens cover that has...

Nice 1st video. I would only caution you to be careful when standing on a porch under a metal roof. At the right angle it might effect your signal to the P3. Good Job.

I bought one. A little pricey but probably the best option I've purchased yet! It's like a silicon rubber and "Red". The supplied one was a real PITA!! I'm not going to tell you how many times I forgot to take it off either because it's clear plastic. This "Red" one sticks out like a sore...

No. Only if you really tip it forward.

I have the snap on and love them. It makes it more visible in the distance. I got them mainly for landing in case of a tip over.

Buy yourself some quick attach prop guards.

What a beautiful day for my 3rd flight. Light wind, beautiful blue skies, excellent location. Takeoff was perfect at this magical place. A slow flight across a long flower garden. Then off to an old out building. A nice spot for a picture "Click". A rising pull away shot to a 180 degree turn to...
