Great idea for the shelf in the back of the car. Didn't see anyway to hold stuff down while in transit. I'd add a strap to help hold stuff down in case of hard braking etc.

I hand catch most of the time. Controller in left hand with neck strap. Turn the Phantom and hover with the battery towards you. Walk to it and grab right strut with right hand keeping your thumb out. Controller left stick down, after it has shutdown use thumb to turn off battery.

I put a small plastic tab on the left stick. Those key chain cards that stores give out work great. Then when I make my turn, my left thumb holds the tab against the controller and locks the stick in place. If I need to make adjustments, I move the tab a little. I've got some nice smooth...

Nice video that kept me interested to the end. Liked the editing, special effects, and music. I flew south of the GWB around the sunken ferry in Edgewater NJ this past December. That flight took me over the Hudson River as well.

Nice!

I'm in Trumbull and always looking for new places to fly.

Nice! We're getting snow down here in Connecticut today. I'll have to get out in the cold with my P3A in the next few weeks.

That was very cool! I have a lake nearby that is about 4000' end to end. I'm more inclined now to go out that far.

I get the Hover banner on my android phone when using the Phantom pilots app. Been that way for the past couple of days.

I have and use the polarpro filters. They work great. Figure I get more stressed at times while flying than the gimbal does.

My P3A is Pegasus

I agree the polarpro case is too big and the filters move around too much. I store a lens cleaning cloth inside to take up the space. The internal space could be better quality with a liner similar to the liner supplied with the pouches.

Both the Advanced and Professional models use Lightbridge.

The quad-copter should only have two retainers, mounted diagonally.

I'd say you were very lucky. There are many horror stories of broken cameras, gimbals, and cracked shells including board mounts with lesser crashes. These repairs can cost hundreds of dollars and still the a/c may not be right. I doubt (if there is a) next time the a/c will fair as well...
