    Batteries needed. 2700mah worth it?

    Ok, just so I don't get this wrong... This http://www.uavproducts.com/product.php?id_product=247 and this http://www.uavproducts.com/product.php?id_product=285 are the same props, just different colour? (thinking it'd be easier still to know front from back with different colours on each end of...

    Batteries needed. 2700mah worth it?

    I've been seeing that alternate props might be a good idea. I've got a 1.1.1 with self tightening props, does this mean I can use the 9" Phantom2 vision props? http://www.uavproducts.com/product.php?id_product=247

    Now that I can fly, I need some spare batteries. hobbyking has the zippys for $10 (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... =7636.html) Can't really beat that price. But some folk on ebay have the Tenergy 2700 for $25. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tenergy-3S-11-1 ... 2c80df48c9) Is the extra...

    New phantom 1.1.1, R won't center.

    So, as today was the only nice day for the next week or so(23C today, 11s & 14s coming up), I tried again for calibration. Transmitter first, both switches up, both sticks up, turn on transmitter and no beeps. Tried a couple of times, couldn't get it to go into calibration mode. Shrugged and...

    New phantom 1.1.1, R won't center.

    Phone holder on original Phantom

    Ok, I can see how having two 2.4Ghz transmitters within an inch or three can mess things up. (didn't realize the Phantom used 2.4) I better be careful flying near my house, I've got 6 Airport Expresses running. :) What are the options for FPV? (that won't cost an arm/leg) Or is it best just...

    Which gimbal lever from ebay?

    I can see that, the range of the lever on the back is extremely short. Now, the video shows using an audio pot. Would a linear one be better for this? Give a more even control to the range? (no Radio shack in Canada but we have an electronics shop or two)

    Phone holder on original Phantom

    I'm guessing there is no problem with this but thought I'd check. Does the Phone holder for the Phantom 2 fit on the Phantom 1's transmitter? I've just picked up a Phantom 1, a gimbal from ebay and a gopro 3 silver and I'd like to get FPV working.

    Inexpensive (cheap) gimbals--any good?

    Thanks for the info (and video), I *just* bought a phantom to play around with and take some video around the house and am trying to sort out what I need. If I get what the video is saying, All I need to strap a camera onto my phantom and get pitch control is the gimbal (already bought from...
