Slugger - Your source is relatively low definition. The composite video out of the Hero 2 is essentially standard definition. Remember VHS tape players with the composite out? That's what you are starting with. Granted it is a pretty good composite video signal but still limited to 300ish...

Balance the props you have. Get a DuBro prop balancer and check out some of the YouTube videos on balancing props.

Double check that when you put the top back on the shell that you didn't get it rotated 90 deg. Assuming the top is on correctly, check that the motors are indeed rotating in the correct direction for their position.

I would think the motors would be recoverable. Take them apart and pop out the bearings. Flush out the windings with electric motor cleaner. Get replacement bearings. Reassemble and test.

So are you going to contact Gov. Perry and encourage him to veto it?

Welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome! Great shots of Dunfermline.

Welcome to the forum! That golf course footage is gorgeous!

Great stuff!

Welcome to the forum Otto. I think you'll find a lot of shared experiences here in the forum and given how new the Phantom is most will be very recent. I would suggest that you not worry about a gimbal just yet and focus on getting familiar with operating the Phantom and GoPro. There are a...

The acorn nuts that come with it should be metal - not plastic. You want to check that they are secure before each flight. You can replace them with nylock nuts but you will want to find low profile ones so that the locking section is fully engaged when snugged down.
